The Section menu widget

The Section menu widget lists the pages beside and under the current page in your menu, so visitors can move around one part of a bigger site. It only lists pages once your menu has levels (an entry put under another); until then only you see a short note, and visitors see nothing.

Check it worked

On a site with menu levels, open the page as a visitor (log out or use a private window): the widget lists the pages of that part of the menu.

Good to know

  • Put the widget on the page at the top of a group (for example "Services", with each service under it) so visitors see every page of the group in one place.
  • Like every widget, it also has Title, Section, Background and Audience tabs in its settings.
