Adding a Menu Item

A. ADDING A PAGE

1. In the Pages section, find the page you want to add and check the box next to it. If you’re having trouble finding the page, go to the Search area instead of the Most Recent area

2. Click the ADD TO MENU button

3. The item will be added at the bottom of the menu. Drag and drop it in the order you want.  If you want it as a dropdown under a page, indent it under that page.

4. Click the blue SAVE MENU button in the bottom right to publish your changes

B. ADDING A LINK

You can also add an item to your menu that doesn’t lead to a page on your site. This can be a link to an external website or simply a menu item that’s not clickable but has other clickable items under it. To do this, use the Custom Link section:

1. For a link that click through to an external site:

• Add the external site URL in the URL field
• Add the label you want to show in the menu in the Link Text field

2. For a non-clickable item:

• Add a pound sign (#) in URL field
• Add the label you want to show in the menu in the Link Text field
