Linking Drop Down List Items to Specific CMS Pages

Sorry for the dumb question. I am 1 day into Webflow and very much a NOOB. I cannot find a function to link the buttons within this drop-down menu to a CMS page. I want my “Locations” tab drop-down buttons to link you to the respective page from CMS.

Not a dumb question, I would love to do this, too. I know you would need to put it inside of a CMS before you can link to anything, however, doing that would make multiple copies of the dropdown, instead. I’m not sure how to get the CMS into the dropdown itself.

It depends what you want.

If you are simply wanting to link a specific menu item to a specific CMS page, then you determine the CMS page path, like /posts/my-blog-post and the link to it using URL linking option.

If you are trying to generate a list of menu items from the CMS, and link those to their related CMS pages, then you put a collection list inside of the dropdown list element, bind it to your collection, and then pull your individual menu item link inside of your collection list.

Bind the dropdown menu item text to whetever you want, and bind the link to “current collection page” ( which is defined by that item in the collection list ).

This worked perfectly! Thank you!

I am getting this message when trying to add a collection list to the drop down.

Just as it says, WF has a limitation there, so you’ll have to remove that nav component from your 404 page in order to use collection lists in it.

I typically have CMS-driven navs like you’re building, and on my 404 pages I just have a home button and a search feature.
