Overview
The URL Link Type allows you to open a destination URL when a user clicks a Menu Item. This is the most common use case when creating menus, buttons, or interactive elements in DiviMenus.
It supports dynamic links, opening in a new tab, active state styling, and defining link relationships.
How to Use
Open the DiviMenus or DiviMenus Flex module.
Go to a Menu Item, open the Link settings.
From the Link Type dropdown, choose URL.
Enter your destination URL.
Optional: You can set the URL to open in a new tab, enable active state styling, or define a link relationship (rel).
URL Link Type Fields
Content → Link → URL: Enter the URL you want to open when the Menu Item is clicked.
You can enter an external URL manually.
Or use Dynamic Content (recommended for internal links).
Content → Link → URL Opens: Decide whether the URL should open in the same tab or a new tab.
Content → Link → Enable Active State: Enable this option to highlight the Menu Item when the current page matches the URL. When active, the item will apply its hover styles to show that it's selected.
Example:
If your Menu Item links to /services/ and you’re viewing any of these pages:
/services//services/design//services/web-development/
The Menu Item will remain active across all of them. This feature is also useful for anchor links, as the active state updates on scroll.
Advanced → Attributes → Link Relationship: Define the rel attribute of the link, such as:
nofollow
noopener
sponsored

This helps search engines understand the relationship between the source page and the linked page.
