How do you add navigation?

[codename1]

When you install magento, you get a site with no navigation.  I created many pages, categories and products, but without navigation they are useless.  This page shows .that it is possible to have a top nav with pages and categories but doesnt say how to install or configure it.

In my category settings, I have enable category set to true, I have "Include in Menu" set to true, but this does not help, there is no menu

Any suggestions?

xxxyyyzzz : this is just my code so I can find this post again (as if you search by your display name it finds no posts, and there is no list of your own posts, even under "my subscriptions"

@codename1Make sure to clear cache of Magento as well as your browser. Sometime you can see the changes in incognito window of browser or in another browser.

Hi, clearing cache did not help - this is not the issue I think. The question is, how do you add top nav, and, assuming you can get a top nav ,how do you add pages to it?  E.g If I create a new page "about us", there is no feature or option I can find to associate this page with a menu item. Does M2 not support any kind of topnav?  Does this have to be hand coded outside of the M2 admin UI? Woocommerce has a menu manager built right into the admin,  M2 doesnt seem to have anything?

@codename1I can understand the frustration. As a new framework thing takes time and with the Magento it is a big learning curve. Please follow the below URL to achieve what you are looking for.

Wow.  I am shocked.  No wonder I could not find this in the backoffice. This is by far the least intuitive way to add pages in any CMS I have used.  I can see that magento is not for me.  Back to woocommerce.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply.
