How do I create navigation links for my collections, pages, blogs? (Shopify Classic Admin)

You've added Products, Collections and Pages but it's not showing up in your shop. That's because you haven't told Shopify where you want it to be displayed. We're not going to throw everything in the Main Menu because you probably don't want everything there ;)

The Navigation Tab is what controls all your menus.

In this example, we'll show you how to add a Press page.

Step 1: Adding the link

Go to the Navigation tab > click "Add Link" under the link list you wish to display your page. Usually this goes into the Main Menu but could be footer or another link list if you wish/

Step 2: Give the link a name

The "Name of the new link" is what will appear in your shop. In the "Links to" drop down, you want to choose the location of your Press page. In this case, we created a "Page" to write up our Press links. 

Step 3: Select the Page.

The next dropdown menu will give you a more narrowed selection of all the Pages you created under the Blogs & Pages tab.

Step 4: Click "Add Link".

And you're done. If you don't see your new link, go back and create it again following the steps above (You probably forgot to click "Add link").

Step 5: Preview your masterpiece!

Enjoy!

How do I create navigation links for my collections, pages, blogs? (Shopify Admin 2)

If you've added Products, Collections and Pages to your shop, but they aren't showing up in your storefront, it's likely because you haven't yet connected these pages to your main navigation. This tutorial will show you how!

In this example, we'll show you how to add a Press page to the Main Menu. But you can use the same steps to add any page (be it a Page, product, collection, blog post, etc) to any navigation menu in your storefront (like your main menu, your store's footer, a custom-created menu, etc).

Step 1: Adding the link

Log in to your shop admin and go to the Links tab. By default, you should see: Main Menu or Footer. In this example, we want to add the Press page to the Main Menu so we will click on Main Menu. For any other instance, you can select either Main Menu, Footer, or click the Add link list button to create your own.

Step 2: Give the link a name

Scroll down to the "Links" section of the Links tab. In the empty text-editable field, enter the name of the link as you would like it to appear in your shop. In this case, we're just calling our link "Press" (see image below).

Step 3: Point to the link's location 

In the "Links to" drop down, choose the location of your Press page (or whatever page you want to link to). In this case, we created a "Page" to write up our Press links, so we select "Page" as the location.  If we were linking to a new blog post, we would select "Blog," and so on.

 

Step 4: Select the Page.

Once you've selected the location of your link, a new text-editable field should appear. Type in the name of the page (in this case, Press) and the search field should locate it.

Step 5: Click "Add Link".

Click on the Add link button, and you're done. If you don't see your new link, go back and create it again following the steps above (You probably forgot to click "Add link").
