Adding menus to the header and footer of your platform allows you to enhance navigation, improve user experience, and maintain a consistent site structure.
From the Admin Dashboard, you can create and manage menu items that appear at the top (header) or bottom (footer) of your platform. These menus typically include links to important pages such as Home, About Us, Contact, FAQ, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, Categories, or custom URLs.
Footer Menu
You can view a comprehensive list of footer menus, which includes several key attributes for each menu item:
- Footer Menu: This displays the title of the menu item, allowing you to easily identify it within the list.
- Column Position: This indicates the specific column in which the menu will appear in the footer layout. You can adjust this position as needed to ensure the menu is displayed where you want it.
- Status: This setting allows you to control the visibility of the menu in the footer of the homepage. If you want the menu to be displayed, you should enable this option. Conversely, if you prefer not to show it, you can disable this setting to hide the menu from the footer.
- Actions: For managing the menus, you have two options:
- Edit: When you select this option, you can modify various aspects of the menu, including changing the menu name, updating the menu link (URL), and adjusting the column position where it appears in the footer.
- Delete: If you decide that a menu is no longer needed, you can select this option to permanently delete it from the footer menu list.
These features provide you with full control over the organization and presentation of footer menus, allowing for an optimal user experience on your platform.
