To add a new menu:

1. Log in to the Joomla! Back-end Administrator.
2. Click Menus > Menu Manager on the toolbar menu. The Menu Manager screen opens.
3. Click the New toolbar button. The New/Edit Menu screen opens.
4. Complete the fields as required:
   • Unique Name: The identification name used by Joomla! to identify this menu. It must be unique. Spaces are not recommended. This displays under module parameters when editing the module.
   • Title: A proper title for the menu. This is used to identify the menu the Menu Manger in the backend.
   • Description: A description of the menu, useful for your own reference.
   • Module Title: The title that will be given to the mod_mainmenu module in the Module Manager. This will be the published title or name which displays in the front-end (if you tick yes to "show title" in the Module Details when editing the module via the Module Manager). Can be edited in the Module Manager in the back-end after the module has been created.

If left blank, a module will not be created and you will not be able to show this menu in the Front-end. This will only be displayed when creating a new menu.

1. Click the Save toolbar button to create the new menu.
   • To leave without saving click the Close toolbar button.

You can now add new items to the newly created menu.

note: All new menus default to disabled when first created.
