Adding a menu structure to your pages

The Menus Screen enables you to create a custom menu (also known as a navigation bar, navigation menu, or main menu).

The Appearance Menus Screen is accessible from the Dashboard via Appearance > Menus.

 

Creating menus

  1. Go to the form and page builder Dashboard.
  2. From the ‘Appearance’ menu on the left-hand side of the Dashboard, select the ‘Menus’ option to bring up the Menu Editor.
  3. Click the link Create a new menu at the top of the page.
  4. Enter a name for your new menu in the Menu Name box
  5. Click the Create Menu button.
  6. Under Menu settings, select "Primary menu" and save again.

Adding pages to a menu

  1. Locate the pane entitled Pages.
  2. Within this pane, select the View All link to bring up a list of all the currently published Pages on your site.
  3. Select the Pages that you want to add by clicking the checkbox next to each Page’s title.
  4. Click the Add to Menu button located at the bottom of this pane to add your selection(s) to the menu that you created in the previous step.
  5. Click the Save Menu button once you’ve added all the menu items you want.

Deleting a menu item

  1. Locate the menu item that you want to remove in the menu editor window
  2. Click on the arrow icon in the top right-hand corner of the menu item to expand it.
  3. Click on the Remove item. The menu item will be immediately removed.
  4. Click the Save Menu button to save your changes.

Creating Multi-level Menus

The menu editor allows you to create multi-level menus using a simple ‘drag and drop’ interface. Drag menu items up or down to change their order of appearance in the menu. Drag menu items left or right in order to create sub-levels within your menu.

To make one menu item a subordinate of another, you need to position the ‘child’ underneath its ‘parent’ and then drag it slightly to the right.

  1. Position the mouse over the ‘child’ menu item.
  2. Whilst holding the left mouse button, drag it to the right.
  3. Release the mouse button.
  4. Repeat these steps for each sub-menu item.
  5. Click the Save Menu button in the Menu Editor to save your changes.
