Before jumping to the details, make sure you understand the terms Blog and Blog posts in Shopify.
💡 What are the differences between Blog and Blog posts?
Blog: A collection of many blog posts. Blog posts: Individual articles you write and publish on your blog(s). Each post typically consists of a title, content (text, images, videos), and other elements like tags or categories.
1. Set up the Blog in Shopify admin
Different from other types of menus in Eurus, the Blog menu requires you to create a Blog in Shopify admin to link with:
Step 1: In Shopify admin, go to Online store > Blog posts.
Step 2: On the top right, select the Manage blogs button, and click Add blog.
Step 3: Give your new blog a Title, and click Save. (For example: Featured articles)
Step 4: One more time, click on the Blog posts tab under the Online store. Now, find the blog posts you want to show on the menu and click to open them.
Step 5: Scroll down to the Organization section, under Blog, and choose the right blog name that you just created. Click Save when done.
Repeat this process for other blog posts.
2. Assign the menu

📌 To show more Blogs on the menu
To achieve this, you will need to go through 2 processes:
Process 1: Set up Navigation in Shopify admin.
- In Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Navigation.
- Click on an existing menu or select Add menu to create a new one.
- Fill in the Title box to give your menu a name (This title won’t show up on site)
- To add a menu item, click Add menu item, enter its name, and assign a link (e.g., page, collection, product, or URL).
- To create a nested menu, click Add menu item again, then drag it under another item by holding the dot icon.
- Click Save.
Note: Only the first level of the menu will be displayed on the blog menu.
Process 2: Make it appear on site by setting it up in Theme Editor.
In Theme Editor > Header > Blog menu block > Under the Show other blogs:

- Assign the menu you just created in the previous step by clicking on Select menu > Choose the menu > Tap Select.
- (Optional) Change the heading as you want.

Pro tip: Instead of linking your menu items to blog posts, consider linking them directly to products or collections for cross-selling. |

In the Theme Editor, go to Header > Blog menu Block > Scroll down and find the Menu label section on the pop-up right panel. From here, you can:
- Enter the text you want to show on the label.
- Change the text & label color.
- Add an icon:

Leave everything blank to remove the label.
