Menus

The Menus section lets you edit and create the page navigation menus used by your website.

The menus are displayed as a list of Page names with the page's URL underneath.

The Primary menu is the menu that appears at the top of you website in the header. The Footer menu appears at the bottom of your website in the footer area. Your site may have other menus already defined. You can also create your own menus that can be included on your pages using the Rich Widget in the STYLO Editor.

Clicking a menu item opens the Update Menu Item pop up dialogue.

You can select an Existing Page from your site, or type in a Custom Url to link to another site. It is unusual to include a link to another site in your menu structure, since this will cause your site visitors to leave your site! But it can be useful if you make use of external services such as a secure online payment service such as PayPal or booking service like Booking.com.

Sometimes your Page Name (which should be descriptive) is too large to be used in a menu. You can edit the Menu Text to be something more suitable. bear in mind however that if you change a Page Name it will not automatically be updated in your menus, and you should edit the menu text as well, even if it is in fact the same.

Use the icon to rearrange your menu items into the correct order.

Use the icon to delete a menu item.

Use the Add Menu Type button to create a new menu.

The ellipsis menu: in the top right of the screen lets you delete the current menu. Note that you cannot delete the Primary and Footer menus.

Publishing changes

Menus are updated in real time, unlike pages. So any changes you make will be published and reflected on your website straight away.

Note that only one user can edit menus at a time, so if anyone else has gone to the Menus section, you'll have to wait until they come out before you can go in. This is to stop two people interfering with one another's changes.
