The previous guide of our adding Concrete5 navigation series covered adding next & previous nav. In this article we will guide you in adding date navigation in Concrete5. This can help visitors navigate your website more easily, and find articles and pages by the date they were published.

Add Date Navigation:

  2. On the top left, roll your mouse over edit and select edit this page from the menu. This will allow the fields in the page to be edited.
    add content2
  3. Now, highlight and click the area you would like to add content to, and select add block from the list.

  4. On the add block menu select date navigation, this will bring up the add date navigation menu.
