Menus

Menus are the lists of links in your site's header and footer. Change a menu here and it changes on every page.

Where menus go

Under Areas you'll see the places on your site that can hold a menu, usually Main menu (in the header) and Footer menu. Use the drop-down under each to choose which menu shows there.

Changing a menu

Click Edit on the menu. Each link has a label (the words people see) and where it goes.

  • the bin to remove it.
