eDirectory is a highly flexible platform that empowers site managers to customize their websites extensively. Among the customizable elements are the header options, which include both the labels displayed and the links they redirect to. This guide will walk you through the steps to edit the header options, ensuring your site’s navigation aligns perfectly with your needs.


Steps to Edit Header Options on eDirectory


1. Navigate to the Design Tab


To begin customizing your header options, start by logging into your eDirectory dashboard. Once logged in, navigate to the Design tab located in the main menu on the left-hand side of the screen.




2. Click on Page Editor


Within the Design tab, you’ll find various customization options. Click on Page Editor to access the section where you can modify the layout and content of your site’s pages.




3. Choose a Page to Edit


In the Page Editor, you’ll see a list of all the pages on your site. Select the page where you want to edit the header options—in this case, we’ll choose the Home Page. Click on the Edit button next to the Home Page.




4. Edit the Header Widget


Once inside the page editor for your selected page, locate the Header Widget. This widget controls the content and layout of the header on your page. Click on the header widget to begin editing.



5. Customize Header Options


Under the header widget settings, you can perform the following actions:


  • Create New Options: Add new navigation options to your header by clicking on the Add Option button.


  • Change Labels: Modify the text labels of existing options to better reflect the content or pages they link to. Simply, click on the gear icon:


  • Change Links: Update the URLs or pages that each header option redirects to by editing the link fields. This option will display all the pages available in your site, including custom pages created by the site manager. Additionally, it is also possible to add a custom link to redirect the user to an external site. 


  • Delete option: It is also possible to delete an option by clicking on the trash can icon.


After making your changes, be sure to save your work by clicking the Save button, and the changes should be reflected in the front-end of your site. 




By following these steps, you can easily tailor the header options on your eDirectory site to suit your specific requirements, providing a better experience for your users and ensuring your site’s navigation is clear and effective.
