00:00.080 --> 00:04.370
So in this lecture, what we want to do, as I just said at the end of the last lecture, is to make

00:04.370 --> 00:08.930
sure that our customers can find those policies that we just created, and to do that, we're going

00:08.930 --> 00:10.490
to add them to the menu.

00:10.520 --> 00:15.320
Now you will remember several lectures ago now that I showed you how to create a menu.

00:15.320 --> 00:18.800
And at that point we added the Contact Us page to the top menu.

00:18.950 --> 00:25.400
Now we could add both policies to the top menu as well, but from the point of view of design, it's

00:25.400 --> 00:29.570
actually better to add them into a menu at the bottom of our store.

00:29.570 --> 00:34.670
And the reason for that is because while they are important, our visitors don't need to access them

00:34.670 --> 00:38.840
all the time, so putting them into a footer menu is absolutely perfect.

00:38.840 --> 00:44.240
So here I am, of course on my home page, and if I scroll down here to the bottom, you can see at

00:44.240 --> 00:47.090
the moment that we don't have any footer menu at all.

00:47.090 --> 00:49.250
So let me show you how to add one.

00:49.250 --> 00:54.740
So going back to admin we go to the online store and navigation.

00:54.740 --> 01:00.740
Now the last time we did this we looked at the main menu where we added contact to both home and catalog.

01:00.740 --> 01:03.500
But this time we're going to go to the footer menu.

01:03.500 --> 01:05.150
So click on footer menu.

01:05.150 --> 01:08.510
And if there are any menu items simply delete them.

01:08.510 --> 01:13.340
So I shall delete this search remove and then add a menu item.

01:13.340 --> 01:16.820
I will give it a name, which of course is the Privacy policy.

01:16.820 --> 01:18.980
And then I shall click into this box.

01:18.980 --> 01:23.270
And now I'm looking for this policies I click on policies.

01:23.870 --> 01:27.890
And I select the privacy policy that we created in the last lecture.

01:27.890 --> 01:35.090
So selecting that I can then add it and then I can add another menu item which I shall call the Terms

01:35.090 --> 01:35.960
of service.

01:35.960 --> 01:37.970
I could also call it the Terms and conditions.

01:37.970 --> 01:39.530
It's basically the same thing.

01:39.530 --> 01:41.840
Then click once again into this box.

01:41.840 --> 01:45.470
Go down to policies and select the Terms of Service.

01:45.470 --> 01:48.620
Click on add and then save the menu.

01:48.620 --> 01:55.730
Now although we've created that menu, if I go back to the site and refresh, the menu is still nowhere

01:55.730 --> 01:56.630
to be seen.

01:56.630 --> 01:58.520
So how do we make it visible?

01:58.520 --> 02:01.340
Well, this time we need to go to the theme editor.

02:01.340 --> 02:03.380
So of course back to admin.

02:03.380 --> 02:10.370
This time go over to themes, click on customize and then scroll right to the bottom where you see the

02:10.370 --> 02:13.010
footer and open up this little footer menu.

02:13.010 --> 02:18.770
To reveal this add block, click on Add Block and now select menu.

02:18.770 --> 02:24.020
And you can see straight away on the right hand side here that both the privacy policy and the Terms

02:24.020 --> 02:25.880
of service have now been added.

02:25.880 --> 02:32.600
So now we can save all of our hard work, go back to the site and refresh once again.

02:32.600 --> 02:35.330
And this time here is the footer menu.

02:35.330 --> 02:39.140
And if I click on the privacy policy it takes me to the Privacy policy.

02:39.140 --> 02:44.450
Going back, if I then click on the Terms of service, of course it shows me the terms of service.

02:44.450 --> 02:49.430
Now with that said, if I go back once again, there are a couple of things that I don't like.

02:49.430 --> 02:52.520
First of all, I don't like this quick links title.

02:52.520 --> 02:57.080
It's basically unnecessary and in my opinion simply clutters up the site.

02:57.080 --> 02:58.610
So I want to remove that.

02:58.610 --> 03:03.650
And then the other thing that I'd like to remove is this subscribe to our emails and then the email

03:03.650 --> 03:04.520
box below.

03:04.520 --> 03:08.330
Now at this point you might be thinking, well, surely that's a great way to collect emails.

03:08.330 --> 03:13.220
And to be honest, when I was teaching e-commerce ten years ago, we would always collect emails in

03:13.220 --> 03:15.590
this way and we would always create newsletters.

03:15.590 --> 03:21.440
But these days, there are far more effective methods to collect emails that don't require you to create

03:21.440 --> 03:23.930
lengthy weekly or monthly newsletters.

03:23.930 --> 03:27.770
And of course, I'm going to be showing you those methods later on in the course.

03:27.770 --> 03:30.440
So in summary, I would like to remove it.

03:30.440 --> 03:36.320
And so starting with the quick links, let's go back to admin and come down here where it says Quick

03:36.320 --> 03:36.860
Links.

03:36.860 --> 03:37.700
Click on it.

03:37.700 --> 03:40.820
And you can see here that I've got a heading which is Quick links.

03:40.820 --> 03:43.850
So all I need to do is delete that text.

03:43.850 --> 03:47.540
And as you can see over here in the editor it has now disappeared.

03:47.540 --> 03:52.610
And then for the subscribe to our emails and the email box, let's go back.

03:52.610 --> 03:58.820
And this time click directly on the footer where you'll see another heading which is subscribe to our

03:58.820 --> 03:59.330
emails.

03:59.330 --> 04:02.480
So let's remove that and then you see this checkbox above.

04:02.480 --> 04:03.920
Show email sign up.

04:03.920 --> 04:10.010
And if I uncheck this it all disappears leaving only the privacy policy and the Terms of service in

04:10.010 --> 04:11.090
my footer menu.

04:11.090 --> 04:17.210
A really nice clean footer design that allows my customers to find my privacy policy and my terms of

04:17.210 --> 04:19.040
service very easily.

04:19.040 --> 04:22.610
So as a final check, let's of course click on save.

04:22.610 --> 04:27.980
We will go back to the site and refresh and everything looks perfect.
