Create a nested folder

Any menu item (excluding a Folder) can be directly added to a Folder via drag-and-drop.

A nested structure has two levels of folders. This can be useful when you have different categories of images or content and of different dates/any other classification. That means when you need two levels of classification for your content, you can opt for the nested structure.

Here are the two ways for achieving a nested folder structure: 

  1. Add a folder inside another folder.
  2. Add folders inside a page using image lists.

Add a folder inside another folder

A folder can not be directly added to another folder. However, there is a workaround to achieve this with the help of the link menu item.

Step 1: Create two folders

See how to create a new folder.


  • Click on the + Add Page button below one of the folders (Folder A).
  • This will open up a screen where you can select the page type. Select Link.

  • Specify a name for this link menu item. Typically, it should be the name of the other folder (Folder B) that you want to add under this folder (Folder A).
  • In this example, I’ll add folder B to this folder. Hence, I’ll name it ‘Folder B link’.

  • Click on the newly created link menu item (1). You’ll now see the settings for the link.
  • Scroll down until you find ‘Link to’ and check Website Content (2).
  • Under Content Type, select ‘Folders, Pages & Other Links’ (3).
  • Next up, select the other folder (Folder B) (4) and hit the Save button (5).

Note:

Folder A can be a dropdown/listing page but Folder B should be a listing page.


Add folders inside a page using image lists

Step 1: Create a folder for each of your categories

Create folders for each of your categories and add pages/content to them.


Step 2: Create a new page

  • That’s all! Now, view the page and check the nested structure.
