Edit Menus

You can edit the menus of your site. From the Menu Editor, you can:

• Add a Page from your Site
• Add a Link
• Add a PDF
• Nest Menu Items
• Delete a Menu Item

Access the Menu Editor

The Menu Editor is where you will maintain the menus of your site.

1. Log in to the Admin of your site. If you need help finding the right place to do so, follow the instructions in the Log In article.
2. Go to Theme Editor>Menus in the left menu.
   
   
   
   
3. Once in the Menu Editor, choose the menu you wish to edit from the drop-down menu at the top of the window. The default should be the Header Menu, which is the most-used menu on most sites. Many sites also have a shorter Footer Menu which shows at the bottom of the site, which you can also edit.
   
   

Add a Page from your Site

Adding a link to other pages within your site is very simple.

1. Open the Menu Editor.
2. Pages are listed in the left box on the Menu Editor page. You can only link Published pages to the menu not Drafts. The Add a New Page section of the Manage Pages article has more information about page statuses, if needed.
3. Select the pages you want to add to the selected menu.
   
   
   
   

1. Click the Add to Menu button at the bottom of the Pages box.
   
   
2. The new item will appear at the end of the list of menu items by default. To move it to a different location, click the drag-and-drop icon on the left side of the item, (circled in red in the screenshot below) and drag it to where you want it. The light blue box indicates where the item will be placed when you drop it.
   
   
   
   

   Note: Make sure that the menu item lines up on the left side with the other menu items, unless you wish to create a Nested Menu, which is explained later in this article. In the screenshot below, all the items lined up with the yellow line are normal menu items, while the blue line shows the nested, Services menu.

   
   
   
   
   
3. Click the Save button at the bottom of the Menu Editor.
4. If you wish to edit the label that will show in the menu, click the Edit icon, and change the label in the box that opens. The page URL will show up in this Edit box after the new menu item has been saved.
   
   
   
   
5. Save your changes by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the Menu Editor.
   
   Note: Clicking Save will save all changes you have made, including changes to labels that were edited, but have closed Edit boxes. To cancel changes, simply exit or reload the page without saving.
   
   

Note: On some sites, the right most menu item is displayed with a highlighted box, this is most commonly used for the Contact Us page. The page that is displayed at the bottom of the list will show up highlighted in this box, it usually is, but does not have to be the Contact Us page. Follow the directions above to move pages so that the page you want to show up in this box is the last page listed.

Add a Link

You can also add links to your site menus.

1. Open the Menu Editor.
2. Scroll to the Custom Links box, the second box on the left, under the Pages box.
   
   
   
   
3. Add Link Text to the first field. This text will show up as the label for this link on your menu.
4. Add the URL where you want this link to go.
5. Click the Add to Menu button.
   
   
   
   
6. The new item will appear at the end of the list of menu items by default. To move it to a different location, follow the instructions above under the section Add a Page From Your Site, item #5.
7. Save all changes made by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the Menu Editor.
   
   
   
   Note: On some sites, the right most menu item is displayed with a highlighted box, this is most commonly used for the Contact Us page. The page or link that is displayed at the bottom of the list will show up highlighted in this box, it usually is, but does not have to be the Contact Us page. Follow the directions above to move pages so that the page or link you want to show up in this box is the last page listed. See last note in above section titled Add a Page From Your Site
   

Add a PDF

You can also add a link to a PDF uploaded to your site to the site menu.

1. Upload the PDF to your site Media Center. You can upload a PDF by following the same steps you would to upload an image. PDFs in your Media Center will be displayed with a default icon, not a thumbnail of the PDF itself.
   
   
2. From the Media Center, hover over the PDF you want to link to in your Menu, and click the edit icon.
   
   
   
   
3. Copy the Image URL displayed at the top of the box.
   
   

   Note: Make sure to highlight the entire URL, which is often too long to completely fit in the box. You can be sure you have the entire URL for the PDF if you see that the URL ends with .pdf.

   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Follow the directions to add this URL as a Custom Link in the section above, Add a Link. 

Nest Menu Items

You can nest menu items so only some menus are immediately visible, with more menu items being accessible by clicking on the top-level label. In the screenshot below, both the About Us and Services options have additional items nested beneath them, indicated by the drop-down arrow icon in this design. Only the About Us menu was open at the time of the screenshot.

1. Open the Menu Editor.
2. Choose the menu you would like to be available as the top-level item, which will be visible on the menu. Then identify which items you want to nest beneath the top-level item.
   
   

   Note: The top-level item cannot have an associated URL, because on your site, clicking on this top-level item will only open the nested menu, not take the user to a new page like other menu labels. If you move a menu item to the top-level position, the page link or URL associated with it will automatically be deleted. If you still want to link to that place, you will need to make a new page or custom link for that item by following the Add a Page or Add a Link instructions. 

   
   
   
3. Click the drag-and-drop icon on the left side of the item, (circled in red in the screenshot below) and drag it to where you want it. In the screenshot, items lined up with the yellow line will show up on the menu normally. The items lined up with the blue line will only show up if the top-level item for that nested menu, Services, is clicked. 
   
   
   
   The light blue box indicates where the item will be placed when you drop it. In the first screenshot below, the Contact item would appear after Resources in the menu, but in the second screenshot, it would be nested within the Resources item.

4. Save all changes made by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the Menu Editor.
