  Hi,

  Menu items are just links. You can’t add content to them. In this case, what you need to do is create pages corresponding to each of the child or sub-menu item, and then connect the pages to the menu items. If I were I’d delete the menu items and add them again later, after the pages are created. It’s not necessary to do it this way, but it’s easier.

  See the Create a Page section of the Pages support page for information and instructions on creating a page. See the Additional menu items and the Changing the Order & Creating Sub-menus sections of the Custom Menus support page.

  Correction:
  “If I were you I’d delete the menu items and add them again later…”

  Note that the pages should be published as well as created before attempting to either link them to previously created custom menu items, or to create new menu items linked to them.

  Ok, I deleted the menu items and created a page, then made it a child to my menu item. But, I don’t see it. I can see it when I preview the page, but when I go to the website outside of the edit mode, I cant see it.

  If you have a custom menu activated, then each menu item will have to be added manually as described at the sections of the Custom Menus support page that I provided links to above.

  See the Additional menu items and the Changing the Order & Creating Sub-menus sections of the Custom Menus support page.

  If you think you’ve followed those instructions correctly and sub-menu items are not being displayed as you expect, then I’d suggest that you add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention. Staff can view your administrative areas. Volunteers, such as myself, can not.

  Hi again, I want to put our media videos and articles to our page, how do I do that? I don't just want a link to the media outlet.

  Ah'deh,

  Hi there,

  If you upgrade to the Premium or Business plan, you can upload videos directly to your media library and add them to your posts/pages.

  Otherwise, you will need to upload them to a service like Youtube or Vimeo and then you can embed them here:
