Introduction[edit]

The Managing Multiple Homepages in One Menu feature, introduced in Joomla 5.x, simplifies the setup of multilingual websites by allowing all home menu items to be placed in a single menu. Previously, the system required each home menu item to be in a separate menu, making the process more complex than necessary. This improvement removes that restriction.

How it works[edit]

With this feature, you are no longer forced to place home menu items for different languages in separate menus. Instead, you can manage all home menu items within a single menu. In the backend menu management, Joomla will display a home icon for menus that contain more than one home menu item.

Instructions[edit]

  1. Set up a multilingual website.
  2. Try saving all home language menu items within one menu.
  3. The system will now allow you to do this without requiring separate menus for each home menu item.

Note on the Feature's Origin[edit]

This feature was added in Joomla 5.2 via PR #43862.
