Joomla - Menus, Modules and More

Editing Menus

At some point you may wish to add a new menu, sub menu or simply rename an existing menu.

First from the control panel click on the 'Menu Manager Icon' or using the top menu go to Menus - Menu Manager. This will produce the following screen.

These are the different menus on your site, it's unlikely you will have this many menus though. You will most likely just have the 'Main Menu' and perhaps a user menu and side menu. The main menu will be the main navigation for the site, usually displayed horizontally across the top of the page. Click on the menu item(s) icon corresponding with the menu you wish to edit. Next you will see all of the menu items in that menu.

If you wish to rename a menu, for example the FAQ menu, click on that menu then rename the title from FAQ to whatever you'd like than hit save. While you have the menu item open if you want to change the article that menu menu item links to, click on the select button to the right on the screen.

Also if you wish to make a menu item a submenu; in the Parent Item select box click on the name of the menu you wish this submenu to be under.  If you clicked on Web Links this menu would become a submenu of weblinks. If you leave it on top it will be a top level menu item.
