How do I create a horizontal menu in Joomla 3?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:53 am

Creating a horizontal menu in Joomla 3 is a relatively simple process. First, create a new menu item and give it a descriptive title. For example, you could create a menu item titled “My Menu” to hold your main menu items. Next, select the “Attributes” tab and add a “Display” attribute to the menu item.

This attribute will determine how the menu item is displayed on the website. You can choose between “Inline” and “Separate” display mode, and you can also set the size and position of the menu item. Finally, add a “Submenu” attribute to the menu item and specify the name of the submenu that you want to create.

PRO TIP: This question is about Joomla 3, not about Joomla 2.5.

Please note that the answer to this question will vary depending on the template you are using for your Joomla 3 site.

When you’re finished, you’ll need to create the submenu. First, select the “Submenu” tab and add a new menu item. Give the menu item a descriptive title, and then select the “Attributes” tab. Add the “Display” attribute and choose the “Separate” display mode.

Next, add a “Submenu” attribute to the menu item and specify the name of the submenu that you want to create. Finally, add the menu items that you want to include in the submenu to the list of items that you added to the “Attributes” tab.

When you’re finished, your horizontal menu will look like the example below.
