All pages on your site should have a place in your navigation.
This is one of the most important steps in creating a new page. After creating a page, your next step should be to decide where this content will live in the navigation so users can find it. Do not use the Main Navigation Menu link in the black toolbar at the top of the screen to nest pages. Instead, follow the steps below.
To place the page within the navigation on your site, use the Menu Settings dropdown on the right-hand side of your screen when editing the page.
- Select Provide a menu link and give the page a link title. This will be the title for your page that displays in the navigation. The link title should match that of the page title.
- Choose a Parent link—as in what section the page will live under on the website—from the drop-down menu.
- Assign the page a weight—or in what order you’d like it to appear in the navigation or drop-down menu. Pages with a greater weight will be listed at the top of pages with a lower weight.
- You can also adjust what order pages appear in after the page has been added to the navigation. Learn more about changing the order of pages in the nav.
Parent pages are pages that host pages underneath them. A parent page can have multiple child pages. For example, the main pages of your navigation are considered “parent” pages, while the “child” pages are those displayed in the drop-down menu.
