Not every webpage needs the same menu, so we’ve made a tool that allows you to easily create different menus for different parts of your site.
Introducing to Menus
The first page in the menus section is accessed via Content > Manage Menus, which will deliver you to the menus index screen where you can see, at a glance, all the menus you currently have available. The name of each menu is listed, along with whether categories are automatically added, if it is the main menu or not, and the number of menu items it has.
Using the index screen you can select one or multiple menus and use the bulk edit menu to delete them, or if you have one selected, you can quickly set it to be the main menu.
The second page is the edit page, where you can view each menu in more detail and make any changes you need to. This is accessed by clicking on a menu's name on the index screen.
The layout of your menu is shown to the right, with nested sub-menus being indented and smaller than normal menu items.
How to add a menu
To add a menu, navigate to the Menus area via Content > Manage Menus.
Click on Add Menu and enter a Name for your new menu in the Name field.
Add items to your menu by clicking the green + Add menu item button.
This will add an item to the tiled list down the right hand side.
The centre of the screen will now show you controls for setting where this menu item will link to and what it will be labelled as.
You can link various aspects of your site and even custom URLs by using the Item type dropdown.
In this example I am linking a page so I have selected Page, causing a second dropdown to appear, allowing me to select a page that exists on my site already:
Once you have done this you can add an icon if you wish:
And even change the label of the menu item:
If the menu item you are adding is a top level menu item that you wish to add sub items to, click the green 'Add sub-menu item' button:
If you want to make this item a dropdown option below another menu item, use the move controls to position the selected menu tile underneath the menu item you wish it to appear under, and then press'Move into sub-menu.
Equally if you wish to move a sub-menu out of being a sub-menu item to become a top level menu item, the button will change to say Move out of sub-menu.
Once you have finished arranging the menu tiles in the order you want, click Save in the top right hand corner.
