The toolbar is the area at the very top of every page on your website.

Contact Details

The first items on the toolbar are your contact details.

In the “Contact Details” section of the “Club Details” settings page are four text boxes where you can set:

  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • Address
  • Google Map Link

All are optional, leave the boxes empty if you do not want anything to be shown.

Note that these will also change the same fields in the footer.

Google Map Link: if you would like your address to be a link that leads to an external site (it does not have to be google!) that shows your location, put the full url in this box.

After you have made changes click the ‘Save Details” button at the bottom of the page.

The toolbar contains a mini menu for displaying links that you always want to be visible:

Take care when altering these – if the menu gets too wide it can negatively affect how the toolbar looks on different sizes of screens.

On the menu page ensure that the “Edit Menus” tab is selected. There are several menus and we want to edit the “Toolbar Menu”.

If it is not already selected choose it in the dropdown menu and click the “Select” button.

The menu items can then edited in the same way as the main menu.

The toolbar contains the Facebook and LinkedIn icons.

These links can be edited on the “Social Media” section of the “Club Details” page.

They are optional – if you do not want the icons to show leave the field blank.

These are also used for the social media link on the website footer.

After you make changes click the ‘Save Details” button to save the changes.
