Footer Navigation

What is Footer Navigation in Crimson?

Crimson’s footer navigation is designed as a multi-column layout where you can group links under headings (Pages, Categories, Our Policies, Connect with us, Support, etc.).

Crimson’s footer navigation is built from Ghost’s Secondary navigation list (the same one used by Header Secondary), and Crimson filters items using prefixes.

Footer layout rules (Headings + Visibility)

A) Create footer column headings

To create a footer heading (like a column title):

• Set the Label to your heading text (example: Company)

• Set the URL to #

Crimson treats these URL = # items as headings and shows them only in the footer, even if you accidentally add [h] or [f].

Headings are menu items with URL as '#'. Crimson will show them only in Footer, irrespective of [h] or [f] prefixes.

---

B) Show footer-only links

Prefix a menu item label with [f] to make sure it appears only in the footer.

---

C) Links that appear in both Footer and Header Secondary

If a label has no prefix (none from [h] or [f]), it can appear in both places. This is useful for items that you may want in both Header Secondary and Footer.

---

D) Dropdowns in Footer

Adding Footer dropdowns is similar to how you add for Header Secondary. Just, instead of [h] prefixes use [f]. All other rules for + and - remains the same.
