Building your site's menu

How to build a menu for your site

To build a menu for your site, navigate to the “Navigation” module, under “Website”.

Bamboo Pro tip- Before you can start building your navigation menu, you first need to build your category tree. Because if don't have the categories that organize your content, you can't build a menu that sends users to check out your content 💥

You build your menu by adding menu items, the options are:

Category, Custom link, Search bar, and Mega-menu.

"Category" will send the users to the selected category page.

"Mega-menu" is used for a category that has sub-categories, it will show all the subcategories in a submenu.

"Custom link" can be any link you choose, doesn’t need to be from the Bamboo platform.

"Search bar" is a search bar, just like it sounds :)

After adding a menu item, you’ll need to fill in the relevant fields for each option.

For all items, you’ll need to choose a display side- left or right.

For category and mega menu, you’ll need to add a label and choose the category you want to use.

Bamboo Pro tip- When using the Mega menu option be sure to choose the parent category in order to show the sub-categories in it on the sub-menu.

And for the custom link, you’ll need to set a label and, of course, add the link.

When you finish, hit “save”.

Now you can press “Go to site”, to go see your site with the new menu.
