The Menus section is where you can edit your menu configuration. This includes main menu that makes up your menu bar (visible on every page of the website), parent pages, and child pages.
There are two buttons on the Menus page, and the second is what you'll use if adding a new menu item to the main menu – not the button at the top of the page. If you need to add a submenu item to an existing main menu item, that takes place here. Note! The page you add must first be created in the Pages section of the platform in order to connect it to a corresponding menu item. For example, if you want to add a "Food Pantry" page as a submenu item to your main menu item "Communities", you would first create the page itself. This means that if you're not ready with content for a page that you want to add to a menu, you might want to wait until it's ready for eyes to be on it before adding it to a menu for all to click!
Additionally, the menu items in the back end can be dragged and dropped for simple configuration. Drag and drop main menu items to order them, and they automatically take the submenu items with them.
Top Tray Configuration with the First and Last Menu Items
The first and last menu items get special treatment dependent on whether you're using trays. If you use the first menu item as an activator for top tray 1, you set that up in Theme -> Defaults -> Header & Site Menu with the dropdown called Top Site Menu: First Item Activates Top Tray 1 on Desktop. And if you use top tray 2, that's activated via a button (present sitewide) at the verrrry top right of the desktop window. If you want the contents of that tray accessible to mobile users, configure that in the same section as outlined above, with the dropdown called Top Site Menu: Final Item Hidden on Desktop, Active on Mobile.
This means that:
- if you are using both top tray 1 and top tray 2, you have the second through second-to-last slots open for your main menu items.
- If you just use top tray 1, you have the second through last slots open for your main menu items. If you use just top tray 2, you have the first through second-to-last slots open for your main menu items.
- If you do not use either top tray, all main menu slots are regularly behaving parent pages.
