Step 2: Put the Page in a Menu

Last Updated: Jan 19, 2012 05:19PM GMT
Antler allows you to Set a Default Home Page.Continued from Step 1: Add a Gallery to a Page 

Step 2: Put the Page in a Menu

On the left hand menu please click on Appearence  Menus


Appearance Menu



Now we will create a menu. Antler supports 13 menu's and 1 Footer Link Menu. 
Type a meaningful name in front of Menu Name click on Create Menu (the name won't be visible on your website so don't be too fussy with naming it). 


Create Menu


WordPress will now Confirm that the Menu has been Created. To make the Menu Show Up on our website we need to Add it to a Theme Location.

Choose one of the Theme Locations on the left and Select the newly made Menu (our menu was named Fashion Menu). 
Click on Save  (which is at the very bottom left).





Now click on the Arrow on the right hand corner of Theme Locations to minimize the panel so our view is tidied up a bit and our life is easier. 


Minimize Theme Locations


Now lets add a Page to the Menu so the menu isn't empty. The page we made earlier in Step 1 was named Fashion, lets add it to the Menu we created called Fashion Menu. To do this find the Pages panel, tick Fashion under Most Recent and click on Add to Menu.


Pages Menu


Now the page 'Fashion' will show up under the menu 'Fashion Menu'. Like always we need to Save the changes.
Click on Save Menu


Pages added to Menu


WordPress confirms that the Fashion page was added to the Fashion Menu Menu.
Now our Antler website has a Page ('Fashion') in a single Menu ('Fashion Menu')..

Remember: Antler supports 13 menu's (in its Theme Locations) and an unlimited amount of pages in each menu.

This is how our website looks now.


Antler with one page


But what if we want to have our 'Fashion' page as a Submenu of a Menu Category called for example 'Portfolio'.



Lets create a menu category now and name it 'Portfolio'.

To do this we rely on a trick; we add a Custom Link with the URL # and the Label that we want our Menu Category to be named and we click on Add to Menu.


Portfolio Menu Category


WordPress will add the custom link (our Menu Category) 'Portfolio' to our menu.


Added Menu Category


Now Drag the 'Fashion' page with your mouse Under and to the Right of the 'Portfolio'. Now the Custom link we had made and named 'Portfolio' will become a Menu Category representing all pages under it, and in this example, our 'Fashion' page.

Click on Save Menu. To save these changes. 


Rearrange the Menu


WordPress will now confirm that Menu has been updated


Category Menu has been Updated


Looking at our website, the changes have been reflected. Our 'Fashion' page is now under a Menu Category named 'Portfolio'.


Website with Menu category


This concludes Step 2. You now know how to create Menus, Add Pages and also Menu Categories to them.

Well Done!
