Custom Menu Builder Guide

Create Your Perfect Navigation

The SynaptikCMS Menu Builder lets you create custom navigation menus without editing code.

Accessing the Menu Builder

Navigate to Appearance > Menu Builder. Check the 'Use Custom Menu' checkbox to activate the menu builder.

Adding Menu Items

To add new menu items from Pages, Articles, Projects, Tags, Custom Links, or Archive Pages: just click on Add Custom Link or Add Content Link at the bottom, then follow along with the dropdown choices.

You can select a parent category or leave your new menu item as a Top Level item.

Yes, it's that simple.

Organizing Menu Items

Drag menu items to reorder them. Grab the little handle at the left of the menu item, then drag it to the desired place in the structure. The visual preview updates as you make changes.

ℹ️

Note that dragging menu items that have a parent category will only re-order them within the other sub-menu items of the same parent category.

Saving Changes

Click 'Save Settings' after making menu changes. Your new menu structure takes effect immediately.
