Creating a new menu item

Follow the instructions below to create a new custom link to add to your menu. Once the link is created, you can add it to your menu (see below). 

We recommend creating a custom web page or form first, then adding the page or form to your custom menu.

  1. Click Add an Item to this Web Menu.

  2. Click the Add Icon next to Menu Item.

  3. Fill in the Name of the menu item (this is what you see), the Text for the link (the text your visitors see ), and the URL or location they will be taken to.
  4. Click Save.


You can quickly link to one of your RescueGroups.org webpages, files, or forms, by selecting them from the drop-down menu next to Destination URL.

If you would like to create a link to an outside website, be sure to include the full URL including http:// or https://
Example: https://www.somewebsite.com

To add a link to an email address include mailto: before the email address
Example: amy@myorganization.org would be written as mailto:amy@myorganization.org


Creating a new menu item for dogs, puppies, kittens, cats, special needs, etc.

First enable the Special Lists you would like to us. Be sure to enter a start and an end in days.
Example: Babies might be 0 to 125. Teens might be 126-364. Adults might be 365 and the end blank.

If you do not want to have a maximum age for the list, you can leave the oldest age blank.

  1. Click Add an Item to this Web menu.

  2. Click the Add Icon next to Menu Item. Name is what you see on the management interface, the Text is what viewers will see when they visit your website.

  3. Enter a URL to one of the browse pages from the list of suggested pages below. Example: /animals/browse?Special=Kitten.
  4. Save Web Menu Item.
