Create a full menu in one call

// wp_setup_menu
{
  "name": "Main Navigation",
  "location": "primary",
  "items": [
    {"title": "Home", "url": "/", "order": 1},
    {"title": "About", "url": "/about/", "order": 2},
    {"title": "Pricing", "url": "/pricing/", "order": 3},
    {"title": "Contact", "url": "/contact/", "order": 4}
  ]
}

Add items individually

// wp_add_menu_item — by URL
{"menu_id": 5, "title": "Blog", "url": "/blog/", "order": 5}

// wp_add_menu_item — link to a page by ID
{"menu_id": 5, "object_type": "page", "object_id": 42, "order": 5}

Nested items (dropdowns)

Pass parent_id to nest under another item:

{"menu_id": 5, "title": "Team", "url": "/about/team/", "parent_id": 12, "order": 1}

Assign to a theme location

// wp_assign_menu_location
{"menu_id": 5, "location": "primary"}

Check available locations with wp_list_menu_locations first — slugs are theme-specific.
