How do I add a non-clickable item to my navigation menu? Print

  • 0

You can add a non-clickable navigation item to serve as a parent label for a dropdown menu.
A non-clickable menu item does not link to a page; it acts as a container for subpages.
Before making changes, review how to manage pages and navigation.

When to use a non-clickable menu item

Use a non-clickable item when you:

  • Need a main menu label (for example, “Services”)
  • Want to group multiple subpages under it
  • Do not want the top-level item to open a separate page

This creates a hierarchical dropdown structure in your navigation, improving clarity for visitors.

How to create a non-clickable menu item

  1. Open the Website Builder editor
  2. Go to the Pages section
  3. Click the + icon to add a new page
  4. Select Non-clickable Menu (or similar parent-only option)
  5. Enter the menu name
  6. Click Publish

The item will now appear in your navigation without linking anywhere.

Adding subpages under a non-clickable item

After creating the parent menu item, you can:

Subpages will appear when users hover over or click the parent menu item, depending on your theme. Understanding how page structure works helps you organize your menu efficiently.

Important notes

  • Non-clickable items do not display page content
  • If you need a clickable page, create a standard page instead
  • Navigation changes require publishing to appear live
  • After updating your menu, always remember to publish your website

Next steps

  • Learn how to manage pages and navigation
  • Create subpages under menu items
  • Understand how page structure works
  • Publish your website after making changes
