Managing Site Navigation
The main site navigation (top menu) is managed centrally in Globals → Site Navigation.
This allows you to control:
- The main menu links
- Where each link points
- Optional dropdown (sub navigation) items
Where to Find It
Go to:
Globals → Site Navigation
How Navigation Is Structured
Navigation is built using a repeatable block (matrix) where each block = one menu item.
Each item includes:
- Label → The text shown in the menu
- Destination → Where the link goes
- Show Sub Nav → Enables a dropdown
- Additional Pages → Extra items inside the dropdown.
Step 1: Add or Edit a Navigation Item
Click into an existing item or add a new one.
Label
This is what users see in the menu.
Example:
- Membership
- Hospitality
Keep it short (max ~20 characters works best).
Step 2: Set the Destination
The Destination uses Craft’s Link field, which means you can link to:
- Entries (most common)
- Custom URLs
- Assets (files)
- Other element types
Typical setup:
- Type: Entry
- Select: Packages (or relevant page)
Step 3: Enable Dropdown Navigation (Optional)
Toggle Show Sub Nav if you want a dropdown under this menu item.
If you select a landing page or a page that has child pages the system will automatically add child pages in sub nav.
Step 4: Add Additional Dropdown Items (Optional)
When Show Sub Nav is enabled, you can add Additional Pages.
Each item here is also a Link field, so the same rules apply:
- Can link to entries, URLs, etc.
- Appears in the dropdown under the main nav item
Step 5: Reorder Navigation
You can drag and reorder navigation items to control their position in the menu.
Key Tips
- Keep labels short so they fit cleanly in the header
- Use entries where possible instead of hardcoded URLs
- Only use dropdowns when needed to avoid clutter
- Order matters — think about user priority
