No Menu Content Report

No Menu Content Report
Content Sections

menu settingsVisitors often arrive on a page from a search engine or another website. If the page isn't in the site menu, they can't see where they are or find related pages, and visitors browsing the menu can't find the page at all.

Open the report under Real Time Reports > No Menu Content. It lists published content that could have a menu link but doesn't. Use the Content type filter to look at one type at a time.

How to fix it

  1. In the report, find the page and select Edit in its row.
  2. On the right side of the edit form, open Menu settings.
  3. Turn on Provide a menu link. The menu link title fills in from the page title; shorten it if the title is long.
  4. In Parent, choose the menu item the page belongs under (for example, the department or section it's part of). A second dropdown appears if you want to place it one level deeper.
  5. Select Save at the top of the edit form.

What you can leave

Not every page needs a menu link. These are fine to leave on the report:

  • Pages that are reached on purpose from another page, such as one step of a longer guide or a page for a single event.
  • Pages kept for a direct link only, such as a page printed on a flyer.

If a page is out of date and nobody would look for it, unpublish it instead.

Good to know

After you save, the report updates in the background, usually within a few minutes. Reload the report to check.
