Managing Your Site Menus

Menus Control Your Site's Navigation

Menus define how visitors navigate your website. They appear as navigation bars, sidebars, or footer links. Each menu item links to a page, article, category, or external URL.

Viewing Your Menus

1. Go to Menus in the top menu bar.
2. You'll see a list of your site's menus (e.g., Main Menu, Footer Menu).
3. Click a menu name to see its items.

Adding a Menu Item

1. Open the menu you want to edit.
2. Click + New.
3. Enter a Title — this is the text visitors will see.
4. Click Select next to Menu Item Type to choose what the link points to:
   • Single Article — Links to a specific article.
   • Category Blog — Shows a list of articles from a category.
   • External URL — Links to another website.
   • Separator — Creates a visual divider (no link).
5. Choose the Parent Item if this should be a dropdown submenu item.
6. Click Save & Close.

Reordering Menu Items

To change the order of menu items:

1. Open the menu.
2. Click the ordering column (the vertical dots icon) and drag items up or down.
3. The order saves automatically.

Tips

• Keep your main menu short — 5 to 7 top-level items is ideal. Use dropdowns for sub-items.
• Use clear labels — "About Us" is better than "Our Company History and Team".
• Test your changes — Preview your site after editing menus to make sure navigation works.
