# Navigation

> Configure your marketplace navigation — main menu links, dropdown sub-items, header call-to-action button, and the footer link columns shown on every page.

Go to **Settings → Navigation** in the admin panel.

Navigation has three sections: CTA Button, Main Menu, and Footer Columns. Changes take effect immediately after saving.

***

## CTA Button

The CTA Button appears in the top-right corner of the header. Enable it and configure a link to add a prominent call-to-action — for example, pointing visitors directly to your domains inventory or a contact page.

| Field         | Description                              |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Enabled**   | Show or hide the button. Off by default. |
| **Label**     | Button text. Required when enabled.      |
| **Link Type** | Reference or Custom URL (see below).     |

***

## Main Menu

Add items to the main navigation bar. Each item supports an optional sub-menu with child links.

### Adding an item

Click **Add Main Menu** to add a row. Each row has:

| Field               | Description                                                                                                 |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Label**           | Link text. Leave empty to use the referenced entity's title automatically.                                  |
| **Link Type**       | **Reference** — link to a page, category, post, or domain from your content. **Custom URL** — type any URL. |
| **Reference**       | Visible when Link Type is Reference. Choose from Pages, Categories, Posts, or Domains.                      |
| **URL**             | Visible when Link Type is Custom URL. Any absolute or relative path.                                        |
| **Is External**     | Marks the link as an external destination.                                                                  |
| **Open in New Tab** | Opens the link in a new browser tab.                                                                        |

### Dropdown sub-menu

Each menu item can have child links that appear as a dropdown. Expand the **Sub-items** section inside any menu row and add links using the same fields as the parent.

Sub-menus are one level deep — sub-items do not support further nesting.

***

## Footer Columns

The footer is divided into columns, each with an optional heading and a list of links.

Click **Add Footer Columns** to add a column. Each column has:

| Field              | Description                                                                       |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Column Heading** | Optional heading shown above the links. Leave empty for a column with no heading. |
| **Links**          | List of links using the same Reference / Custom URL fields as the main menu.      |

The number of columns and how they wrap on smaller screens is handled by the layout automatically.

## Link types reference

| Link Type      | When to use                                                                                                                                                        |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Reference**  | Linking to content that already exists in the admin — a CMS page, a category, a blog post, or a domain. The URL is generated automatically from the entity's slug. |
| **Custom URL** | Linking to anything else: an external site, an anchor (`#section`), a full external URL.                                                                           |

<Note>
  For Reference links, the label field is optional — leave it empty and the linked entity's title will be used as the link text. For Custom URL links, always enter a label.
