What gives a menu item and what does not

I'm currently working on trying to understand how to build a menu structure in DW with Rapido, and have found the blog/news/partners/dynamic article features of DW. However, I'm not able to determine what settings that results in a menu item and which doesn't. One should think it was the "do not show in menu", but it is not - at least not consistent.

In my demosite I have a DW created "latest blogposts", a blog list with blog items under it. This one is displayed in the menu and to turn it of, I use the previous mentioned settings.

I also have a blog list called "klokkebloggen", with blog items under it. This one does not show up in the menu dispite identical setting (I think).

Where am I missing something?

Best wishes

Hi Siv

Good question. Have you read this documentation? https://doc.dynamicweb.com/rapido/configuration/creating-content/dynamic-articles Here are some of the facts about the Dynamic articles:

"Hide in menu" will only hide the page in the top navigation. Never in the list of articles
There is, unfortunately, currently no way to not render an article in the lists
There has been a bug that required the articles to always be in a folder

If you have the folder requirement bug, then you will simply have to create this structure

Articles (Folder)
- Klokkebloggen (Article list, Sort by date to get latest in top)
  - Blog post one (Article, hide in menu)
  - Blog post two (Article, hide in menu)
  - Blog post three (Article, hide in menu)

I hop this helps. Otherwise you are very welcome to write again.

Best regards
