EngineerGuY Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 So every other company similar to Squarespace.... including Wix, allow users to have sub folders under the main folder. This is critical for many people. Just an example -Folder (Locations) -Sub Folder (Alabama) -Cites pages -Mobile -Atlanta -Birmingham Is there a simple way to do this for dropdowns, because I don't see anyway to do it and I may have to convert my page to another provider.

paul2009 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 You're right. You cannot add a navigation folder within a folder on Squarespace.

derricksrandomviews Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 You are basically asking about a mega menu. Can't be done by default, but can be done with code, but will not work on mobile, bear that in mind. This older thread has the same question and links to two sites, one is a plug in that you can buy and one that has instructions to make a mega menu. Link to comment
EngineerGuY Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'm astonished squarespace can't get this figured out. I'll be cancelling my page and account and moving to Wix or a better service which provides more. Sucks but.... squarespace is now last compared to their competition. Link to comment

joe_AT Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Bump on this: been hoping for months it would be a simple integration they can add and still no folders within folders Link to comment
Jambron Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I am echoing my frustrations as well. This is such a basic web building feature. We are switching to WordPress for our 15 sites later this year and the lack of basic web editing features is a major reason why. Sub-folder menu navigation is a BASIC feature.

derricksrandomviews Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) With most website hosting companies going to super scrolling (one page like) mobile driven tempate designs, the menu in a menu function is going to go by the wayside. Squarespace simply is ahead of the soon to happen trend. One major website company puts it this way to their clients: Unfortunately, mega menus don't work this way. They display too many irrelevant items at once, which creates a lot of visual distractions. I can't say I totally agree due to the fact i have a number of nav folders with drop down list of links on my own site, but like others here I will have to deal with the above concept at some point, as more and more of the traffic to my site is coming from phones as opposed to desktop and folks want to scroll and click a block or image, not a line of text.

JanSm Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Just chiming in to agree with those here that folders within folders would be a huge improvement. Pretty frustrating. Link to comment
