How do I add a "Donate" button or other custom buttons to my header?

If you would like to have a custom button across all the headers on your site, please follow the "Site-Wide Header Button" guide below. Or, if you'd like to only have a custom button for a single page or content item, follow the "Single Page Header Button".

Site-Wide Header Button

To add a custom button to all sites of your page, navigate to the Sites and Settings link under Admin on the left setting menu on Brightspot.

Navigation Link example

  • Once there click on the Front End tab.
  • Under Home Header Links (it's kinda small and hard to find, it's a couple of settings below the Favicon options) click on Add Navigation Link.
  • Now give the button a name and choose whether the link is External (meaning it is outside of Brightspot) or Internal (created inside of Brightspot).
  • Click on Save at the bottom of the page.

Congratulations, you have a custom button in your header!

Single Page Header Button

To add a button to a single content item or page, go to the content you would like to add the button to and click on the Overrides tab at the top.

  • Navigate to the Header dropdown and keep scrolling till your find Custom Button.
  • Click on the drop down and choose Select
  • Now give the button a name and choose whether the link is External (meaning it is outside of Brightspot) or Internal (created inside of Brightspot).
