Add a Menu Link

This guide outlines how to add a menu link (i.e. sub menu) to a menu. For example, if a new business unit has been created you may need to add a menu link.

1. Access the Menus page

In the Manage menu, select Structure > Menu.

The Menus page displays a list of all the menus that have been added to the site.

Click the Edit menu button next to the relevant menu, e.g. Footer.

The Edit menu page of the selected menu is displayed.

Click the Add link button at the top of the page.

The Add menu link page is displayed.

3. Complete the menu link details

Complete the fields in the table below.

Field  Action
Menu link title Enter a title for the link. This is the text that will be displayed on the screen.
Link Enter the page the menu link will point to using the following format:

/parent link/title of page to be linked to

Examples:
  • /about-us/who-we-are
  • /store/restocking

Note: If you leave spaces between the words the link will not be saved. Ensure you use dashes in the place of spaces, e.g. 'about-us'.
Enabled Leave this checkbox ticked if you want the menu link to be displayed. If it is unticked, the link will be hidden.
Description Leave blank.
Text entered in this field will be displayed when the user hovers over the link.
Show as expanded Tick this checkbox if the menu has child links that will appear when the menu is hovered over.
ATTRIBUTES Do not edit attributes.
Parent link Select the parent menu that this menu link will be displayed under.

Examples:
  • ‘Shop’ is displayed under the Main Navigation menu at the top of the website.
  • ‘Buy first aid products online’ is displayed under the 'Shop' menu link.
SIMPLE XML SITEMAP Tick the Regenerate all sitemaps after clicking Save checkbox.
Note: The sitemaps will take a few minutes to regenerate.
Weight If required, select the weight of the link. This will determine where the link is positioned in the menu.
The higher the weight, the lower the menu link will appear in the list, and vice versa. The weights range from -50 to 50. Being the lowest number, -50 will always appear at the top of the list.
