How do I add a new menu? The number of menus available is related to the number of instances of the Main Menu module. There are two menus provided by default: Main Menu and the User Menu, but you may have many more menus on your site if you so desire. The easiest way to add new menus is to use the Menu Manager. Alternatively, to add a new menu manually, select Modules -> Manage Modules from the Administator menu. Click the checkbox for one of the existing modules based on mod_mainmenu (either Main Menu or User Menu). Click the 'Copy' icon in the toolbar. You will see a new module in the list named "Copy of 'something'". Click on the name of this module to edit it. In the edit form, change the title of the menu (eg, to "Privacy Menu") and change the Menu Type in the Parameters group (eg, "privacy"). Click the Save icon when you are finished. Now, hover over Menus and you should see that in the Menus dropdown you have a new menu called "Privacy Menu". You may repeat this procedure as many times as you like. There is no limit to the number of menus that you can have and to which menu items they are associated with.
