To manage your mega menu, go to “Modules and services” and select “Mega menu” from the module list.

*Note: if you are transferring your site to new hosting service or domain, the “Use cache” option should be deactivated by selecting the “no” option and should be reactivated once the website is transferred, by selecting the “yes” option. “Use cache” helps to load your site faster when you have a complex menu structure.

*Tip: To have a link or a menu item to display your blog in the frontend of the website, copy the blog preview link from backoffice and add it to your top mega menu. Settings area gives you many different options for configuring your blog, take some time to check it out. Front page:
