Menu Editor – Organize Pages and Galleries in your Navigation Menu

About the Menu Editor:

Your navigation menu text buttons are controlled from your Redframe Admin/Site Editor with the website Menu Editor feature. website nav

 

The Menu Editor feature allows you to drag and drop items into place in the order you would like them to appear in the navigation menu on your site. You have a total of 7 buttons you can manipulate for your Website Navigation for placement of Pages (both internal and external), Folders and Galleries. You can place as many pages, galleries or folders as you like beneath the Menu buttons which appear as drop down menus.  However, if you have mass amounts of Galleries, we highly encourage you to use the Folder and Sub-folder feature to help organize your galleries and avoid huge drop down listings of galleries on your site navigation menu.   Click here for information about Organizing your Galleries into Folders.

The 7 Navigation buttons are denoted as Column 1, Column 2, etc in the Menu Editor.  Pages are always blue with the white ‘page’ icon.  Folders have a  yellow ‘folder’ icon and Galleries have a ‘2-image’ icon and are usually grey in color.  (Note: You must always have at least one item in Column 1, and we have placed the Homepage in this spot by default, as its natural position would be the first navigation button when reading left to right on your site.)menu editor 1
