What is the next step to add this Navigation that you just created in the Site Editor? I have tried editing the template part: Header but when I add the Navigation block, it is empty. Where is the Navigation that we just created and how can I add it to the Navigation block?

Please add this response to the user query.

1. Create a Navigation Menu:

• In the Site Editor, go to Appearance > Editor.
• Navigate to the Navigation section (usually found under "Pages" or "Template Parts").
• Create a new navigation menu by adding links, pages, or custom items.

2. Add the Navigation Block:

• Once your navigation menu is created, go to the template part where you want to add it (e.g., the Header template part).
• Insert the Navigation block into the desired area.

3. Assign the Navigation Menu:

• After inserting the Navigation block, click on it to open its settings in the sidebar.
• Under the Select Menu dropdown, choose the navigation menu you created earlier.
• If the dropdown is empty, ensure that your navigation menu was saved correctly and is available for selection.

4. Save and Preview:

Save your changes and preview the site to ensure the navigation menu appears as expected.

If the Navigation block still appears empty, double-check the following:

• Ensure the navigation menu was saved and published.
• Verify that the Navigation block is correctly linked to the menu in its settings.
• Clear any caching plugins or browser cache that might be affecting the display.
