Menus

Menus power the Joomla website experience, providing a customizable way to allow site visitors to view and interact with your website's content and features. This section explains how to add menus and menu items, and walks you through the powerful features that Joomla menus can provide.

  • Adding a New Menu: While each Joomla site has a single Main Menu out of the box, having multiple menus that serve specific purposes takes your website to the next level. Learn how to create a new menu, add items to it, and make it visible via a module.
  • Menu Items: Expose your content and components with menu items, the essential starting point for all of your site's URLs. Learn about menu item types and adding a menu item.
  • Menu Item Types: Joomla comes with several built-in menu item types; additional components and extensions will often add more. Learn how the core Joomla components can become menu items
