It is possible that at some future date, you may want to change your menus, either to modify, delete or add options. The menu links Menu – Top (Primary menu), Menu – Directory and Menu – Administration provide links to the administrative pages for reader’s menus and admin menu respectively. The techniques outlined are the same for all menus.
A typical menu admin screen looks like this:
Changing the order of menu items
To rearrange menu items, grab a drag-and-drop handle (wee cross) under the Menu item column and drag the items (or group of items) to a new location in the list. (Grab a handle by clicking and holding the mouse while hovering over a handle icon.) Note that as well as dragging items up and down, you can drag them left and right to move menus into and out of sub-menus. Remember that your changes will not be saved until you click the Save configuration button at the bottom of the page.
Hiding menu items
To hide a menu item, un-check its “enabled” box. This is less drastic than deleting it, because it can be easily re-enabled.
Deleting menu items
Click on the delete option and follow the instruction to confirm the deletion
Editing a menu item
Click on the edit option for the menu and then edit the various fields. You may want to do this too change the wording of the item, or the words shown when the mouse hovers over the item.
