Using the Main Navigation Menu

The Main Navigation Menu in the Drupal toolbar should be used with caution. The only time you should ever need to use the Main Navigation Menu is for two things:

  • Changing the order a page appears in within the navigation
  • Disabling a biography, news article, or event from the navigation

The following actions should not be done using the Main Navigation Menu:

  • Nesting a page within the navigation
  • Moving a page under a new parent page
  • Renaming a page in the navigation
  • Creating a new link within the navigation

Removing a Page from the Navigation

All pages, including those you'd like to hide from the navigation, need to be nested within the navigation first. This will ensure that breadcrumbs and the URL are set up properly for your page. To learn how to nest a page within the navigation, please review Adding New Pages.

Important Notice

Please note: The only pages that should be removed from the navigation are biographies, news articles, and events pages. All other pages on the website need to be visibly nested within the navigation. 

To hide a page from the navigation, follow the steps outlined below.

  1. Once a page has been published and nested properly, click on the Main Navigation Menu option in the black toolbar at the top of the screen. This will show you the entire navigation of the website.
  2. From here, locate the name of the page you would like to hide from the navigation.
  3. Uncheck the box to the right of the page name.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Save.
