The instructions below can be roughly separated into the following smaller tasks (sections/parts):

  1. Create a new Menu
  2. Add a new Module and position the Menu through the Module
  3. Add URL as a new Menu Item

The above concepts (ie. Menu, Module) are similar to other platforms such as WordPress:

  • Module(s) → equivalent to a container that displays content (Menus) on a chosen position
  • Menu → equivalent to navigation in other platforms

We assume that the Footer Menu is already created and positioned in the footer section of the website through the Module. The instructions below will show you how to add another URL in the footer.

Here are the steps to add a Terms & Conditions URL on Joomla 4:

  1. Log in to your Joomla website.

  2. Let's start with the first step - create the new Menu.

    From the website's Dashboard, go to Menus:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Dashboard - Menu highlighted

  3. Select the Footer Menu:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Dashboard - Menu - Footer Menu highlighted

  4. From the Menu Items editor page, click on the + New button:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Dashboard - Menu - Footer Menu - Items - New highlighted

  5. Name your New Menu Item using the Title field. Since we want to add our Terms and Conditions link to the Footer Menu, we named this new menu item Terms and Conditions:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Terms and Conditions title added highlighted

  6. From the Details section, click on the Select button to add a new menu type:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Terms and Conditions - Details section - Select highlighted

  7. From the new Menu Item Type window, select System Links:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Details section - Select - Type - System Links highlighted

  8. Select URL:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Details section - Select - Type - System Links - URL  - Single highlighted

  9. The empty and required Link field will become active now. It's a place to link your Terms and Conditions URL that will appear in the footer section of your website.

  10. Go to the TermsFeed Terms and Conditions Generator to create the Terms and Conditions and get a free hosted Terms and Conditions URL webpage.

    In the Link to your Terms and Conditions section, click on the green Copy button:

    TermsFeed Generators App: Terms and Conditions Download Page - Link to hosted Terms and Conditions URL copy option highlighted

  11. Paste the Terms and Conditions URL in the Link field:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Details section - Link - empty and required field is active - Paste highlighted

  12. Click Save &smp; Close:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Terms and Conditions URL type added - Save and Close highlighted

  13. The Terms and Conditions URL is now added as a new item to the Footer Menu. To preview changes, go to the Preview button at the top menu:

    TermsFeed Joomla 4: Footer Menu - Items - New - Terms and Conditions article type added - the Preview button highlighted

  14. You're done!
