| 1 | | Upon first installing WordPress, new users may find themselves in the Customizer to set up their site, given the big blue Customizer button on the Dashboard. The new user experience (NUX) is one area highlighted in the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/09/23/outlining-a-possible-roadmap-for-the-customizer/ roadmap]. One thing that has been discussed is that the number of things the user can do in the Customizer is largely a subset of what they can do in the WP admin. Most notably, one of the first things that a user would likely want to do is add pages to their site. I understand that new users to WordPress do not understand the nav menu item vs page distinction, and in the Customizer I am guessing that many users would expect to be able to add nav menu items for all of the pages they want to be on their site, whether they exist yet or not. This is not currently possible in the Customizer, meaning that users would have to exit the Customizer to create the pages and then come back into the Customizer to then create the nav menu items. This is a poor experience. |
