Joomla menu items

Today I forgot how to make menu items show up in Joomla. I typed in can’t make menus work in Joomla, menus not showing up in Joomla, menus not working in Joomla.

The secret was to create :

sections
categories
articles

menus
menu items
then create modules as well.

The secret lies in creating modules and remembering to make the menu style legacy vertical.
