On the opened to you Menu Manager: Add Menu page enter your menu title into the 'Title *' field (mandatory), your menu type into the 'Menu type *' field (mandatory) and, if you wish, your menu brief description into the 'Description' field (optional). From the Admin Menu, in the backend of your Joomla! site, you choose: Menus > Menu Manager > Add New Menu. Each menu item defines an URL to a page on your site, and holds settings that control the contents (articles, category(ies) lists, tagged items, etc) and style (module(s), layout) of that page.Ĭreating menus is rather simple.
