Adding a Manual Entry (Menu Item)

There may be times when you would like to reference a page, or node, from another place in the menu.  While the page/node can only live in one specific location, you can manually create Menu Items to accomplish this cross-referencing.  Note this process does not however necessarily change the active trail/breadcrumb path to the page, as it may default to the primary page's menu placement.

Use the manual entry process if you want to:

  • add additional links to an existing page under different sections of the menu, or in other menus
  • link to pages/forms on external websites

Watch the Video Demonstration/Tutorial for this.

To manually add new links to the Main Menu:

  1. Hover Structure, Click Menus
  2. Select the "List Links" option for the particular menu you wish to modify.
  3. Click Add Link

The default view of this page is "List items" which will show the hierarchy of pages on your site.  Above the list,  you will find a button to Add an Item.

Select Add item.

In the screen that appears,

  1. Assign a Menu Link title (this is what will appear as the menu item)
  2. Assign the URL to link to in the Path field.  If linking to an internal page of the website, it is recommended you link by node ID.  For example node/123.  You can obtain the ID by hovering the “edit” link on the content management screen listing that page for editing.
  3. In the Parent Item section, select the appropriate subsection of the MAIN MENU to insert your new menu item.
  4. Optionally, if linking offsite- you can set the link target to a new/blank window under the Menu Item Attributes Section.
  5. Save the menu item entry. 

Proceed to the Setting the Display Order of Menu Items section.
