Menus

A left menu can help users filter the People plugin directory by groups.

Pages populated by the People plugin can display a customizable sidebar menu. Site administrators choose which groups to include for filtering, so they can decide what’s most helpful for users.

  1. Go to “Appearance” then “Menus” and select the appropriate menu from the dropdown at the top of the page. If no sidebar menu appears in the dropdown, create a new menu and assign it to the “People navigation” location.
  2. Add, move or remove items the same way you would in any other WordPress navigation menu. This menu isn’t auto-generated, so it starts off empty. Most site maintainers build it entirely from group links.
  3. Confirm the menu’s display location is set to “People navigation.” If you created a new menu, be sure to set this yourself.
  4. Keep menu depth to two levels or less. Items added to a third or fourth level won’t appear in the menu.
  5. Save the menu when you’re done.
