How to add a Menu

Creating menus allows you to link to the pages in the event site.

  • Pages should first be created so that links have targets
  • Menus are best added to templates so they they can be used by all pages sharing the template. However a menu can be added to any page or template.

Its easy to create multiple levels for your menus with a 'drop down' effect. Evessio supports up to 3 levels but as a best practice its advisable to limit your menus to no more than 2 levels.

Creating the menu

  1. Select the page (WEBSITE> Pages> Pages) or template (WEBSITE> Pages> Templates) you wish to add a menu to and click “+Add content” in the column you want the menu to appear.  


  2. Click on +Add content> Content> Common> Page Structure>Header> +Add Header.


  3. Give the menu a name. Whilst you have the option to display the menu name this is rarely necessary. The select if you would like to add a logo to the menu. Upload the image and select if it should be to the left or right of the menu. Then select if you would like the menu to be linked to a specific page.


  4. Optionally select the menu height, how you would like it to be aligned and customise the colours.


Before you can add any links to the menu you must first save it. Then click on the menu to re-enter. You will then be able to add links.

First Level Links

First level links are the initial menu items you can see.

To add a first level link click "+New First Level Link". Then input what you would like the link to say and where you would like it to link to. Optionally add an icon. Then click "Save".

You can then drag and drop the menu links to reorder them or use the blue arrows to do so. If you would like to remove a link click the "Unlink" icon. If you would like to edit the link click the pencil icon.

Second Level Links

Second level links are the "dropdown" menu items.

To add a second level link click on the pencil beside the first level link you would like it to fall under and click "+Add New Second Level Link". Then input what you would like the link to say and where you would like it to link to. Then click "Save". You can reorder or remove second level links in the same way as you can first level links.

Once you have added first and second level links, click "Save". Make sure the menu is selected from the list and click "Add Selected" .

Remember to "Save" the page and publish the updates.
