Static content pages on your website are intended for content that seldom changes and only take up one page. Pages like About Us, or Where We Are Located are examples of static content.

Static content is created in conjunction with menu items. It is a page or pages linked to menu items that appear in the side bar on the left (or right hand side)of your front page.

In the back end of your site, from the menu bar at the top choose: Content > Static Content Manager

 

Click the New button    

• Type in a Title (leave the Title Alias blank)
• Type the content you want in the text box.*  Important:  You must put some content (even just one word)  into the text box in order for this content item to show on your front end.
• When finished click on the link to menu tab on the right hand side of the screen.
• select the menu of choice from the list
• type in the desired menu item name (whatever you want to show on the front page)
• Then click link to menu again.

Or, if the menu item you want to link your content to, is not showing up in the Select a Menu box, you may link your item another way.

Click the save button. 

Then go to:    Menu > Mainmenu.

Click the New button.

From the Content Box, select Link - Static Content by clicking on the words.

An Add Menu Item dialog box will come up.   Type in the menu name you want in the Name field.   Then select the static content item you created for this menu item from the list in the Static Content box.

Click the Save button.
