Link to a page or destination outside the normal page list. Follow the steps below in your BeatKongs producer dashboard and verify the result on your live website.

Before you begin

Sign in to your BeatKongs producer account. You will use Website → Pages, Website → Menus, or Website → Edit Website depending on the task. If you are making a significant change, save a copy of important content first.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Step 1. Open Website → Menus and select the header or footer menu to edit.

  5. Step 5. Test the destination, including on a phone, to confirm it opens correctly.
Important: Use full https:// URLs for external websites, and verify that links point to the intended destination.

How to confirm it worked

Save your changes, open View Live Website, and refresh the affected page. Check the correct URL, page content, and any relevant header or footer links. Repeat the check on mobile if navigation or layout was changed.

Troubleshooting

  • Page or menu item is missing? Confirm you are in the intended producer website and that you saved the correct page or menu.
  • Link opens a 404 page? Copy the destination from the live page instead of guessing its file path, then update the menu link.
  • Changes are not visible? Refresh the website and check for cached content; confirm the correct header or footer menu is selected in Kong Builder.
  • Still stuck? Use Report Issues from the producer dashboard and include the page title, URL, and a screenshot.
