There was a hardware problem with my hosting server. After the recovery all seems to work as it should but I can't add/edit menu items.
The system issues a:
Warning
Field required: Menu Location
and the menu item is not saved.
And indeed, I use the ISIS template for administration and on the right column the first field is Parent item when it supposed to be Menu location.
I uninstalled the Isis template and I uploaded and discover/install a new one from a fresh package but this didn't fix the issue.
Any ideea?
Thank you!
On the right column the first field is "Parent item" when it supposed to be "Menu location"
This wont be the template, but instead the menus component.
from a fresh package, copy and upload the contents of administrator/components/com_menus to the live site.

i have default home menu item in main menu which point to a default article.
I want to show my component (i.e com_mywelcomecomponent) into home page of my website.
If try to change the link of menu item to "external link" which point to my component, joomla show me an error
Save failed with the following error: The home menu item must be a
component.
how can i do this?
There is absolutely no issue why you cannot make your component as the home component. Login to administrator and then click on main menu. You will find a default menu item which is starred.
Click on that menu and when you go to that menu details just select your component as the default component.
When you open your site next time you will find your component on frontpage.
In Joomla, Home Menu cannot be an External Link.
You can still have your component linked to Home page, by selecting the Menu Type which will have your component listed in there and select the appropriate view and Save the Menu.
One easy option would be the Components Anywhere extension: https://www.regularlabs.com/extensions/componentsanywhere
I turned Show Title option for articles to Hide in global settings. So it works for each my page good instead of home page. So the title is still appear, even if I switched it to hide in article that correspond to Home page content.
I suppose maybe something wrong with menu.
So I have next menu:
Home
Photos
Contacts
Each menu content single article, but only Home shows title...
I am using joomla 3
on the screenshot below Home header that I don't need.
on the screenshot below Videos header that set as Show tile in menu item
on the screenshot below Videos header that set as Hide tile in menu item
I am making the same for Home but it does not work the Home tile is still visible.
I tapped on menu items then on home items which is single article:
then I modify visibility options:
save and close - and then update the index page in browser, but nothing happen the header Home is still on the page (
The solution is next:
Click on the “Menus” menu and select “Main Menu”.
Click on the menu item that represents your home page (usually “Home” or something similar)
On the right side, click on “Page Display Options”
Set “Show Page Heading” to “No”
Click on “Save”

You have an option to show or hide the title of Articles and also Menus. Usualy is "Home" also the dafault "Frontpage" of the site, having the option to show the title.
Go to Menus -> Default "Home" Menu and under options you should have Show Title and hide it.
This should work, i tested it right now on my page to be sure.

in joomla 3.x it will be possible by combination of backend settings and source code change.
Login to your joomla control panel.
Go to Global\Articles and turn the "Show Title" and "Article info Title" to Hide.
Go to Global\Menus and turn the "Show Page Heading" to Hide.
Login to your host and go to your public html directory then go to "\templates**[your template]**\html\com_content\article" directory.
open default.php in editor and find
php if $this->params->get('show_page_heading', 1) :
and change the 1 to 0 then save it.
I suggest you to backup default.php file before any changes.
You can disable the Page Heading in the Menu Item options as showed below in my screenshot:
if this don't work, try to go to MENUS - MANAGE - (press the button OPTIONS to the right of the page)
In browser page title press one space , the set the second voice to NO:
Then save and press the REBUILD button.
This happens when you have a multi language site. The "Show Page Heading" option inside the languages home menu doesn´t works at all in this case. It is overrided by the Main Menu home options (that one without any languages assigned to it, that is mandatory in Joomla).
So if you change the "Show Page Heading" option inside the Main Menu home options, it will work.
Bizarre. But, it´s the way that Joomla 3 works.
I would like to create a page in Joomla without showing it in a menu.
That would be easy when the URL could be from the root, e.g.
www.mysite.com/hiddenpage
I would just make a menu without module to show it and assign a menulink to that hidden menu.
However the url should be
www.mysite.com/parentpage/hiddenpage
So the page should be linked to another existing page as a childpage but without showing in the menu.
So far this seems not possible?
Am I overlooking a feature in Joomla which would allow me to simply deactivate visibility in the menu without preventing the page from being accessed from the internet?
Or perhaps is it possible to edit or override a core component to force Joomla to allow this behaviour?
UPDATE:
Too much thinking in one direction...
The solution to do this is to edit the menu-item > linktype > css give it class "hide" (integrated bootstrap class) to just block visibility in the menu...
It's possible but a litle bit tricky. Try these steps :
Create a new two articles, name it as you wish (for example Article A and Article B )
Create a new menu group (from your administrator page go to : Menus > Menu Manager > Add new menu, name it as 'Hidden Menu'
Create a new Single Article menu item (under the 'Hidden Menu'), choose 'Article A' as as the article source and type 'parentpage' in the Menu Title field
Create a new Single Article menu item (under the 'Hidden Menu'), choose 'Article B' as the article source, choose 'parentpage' menu as the parent item and type 'hiddenpage' in the Menu Title field.
Now both of urls www.mysite.com/parentpage and www.mysite.com/parentpage/hiddenpage should be accessible now
As others have mentioned you can find extensions to modify URLs or hide the menu items using CSS, but these can require quite a bit of work especially if this is a one-off or once in a while situation.
However, there is one way to do this with Joomla as-is and will work with any type of menu items, not just articles. These instructions assume you already have a 'hidden' menu setup.
In a hidden menu, create menu items (or move them if they already exist) for parentpage and hiddenpage.
Set parentpage as the 'Parent Item' option in the hiddenpage menu item. Basically, create the page/subpage structure you'd like to see in the URL.
On your visible menu, create a 'Menu item Alias' (under 'System Links') menu item. Set the 'Menu item' option to the parentpage (listed under the hidden menu).
Enjoy. Parentpage is a visible menu item. hiddenpage is available at www.mysite.com/parentpage/hiddenpage

No this is not possible with Joomla.
There are several options for you to achieve the same result, I list them in order of ease.
Use joomla redirect component. Simply tell the user to surf to the url he wants, he will then find it in the administrator - components - redirect, where she can insert the non-sef url.
Tell them to use a different prefix: i.e. create a hidden menu where they will add the direct links;
Additionally, in order to remove the id from the url you can:
Install simplecustomrouter extension, it should do the job out of the box but some coding may be required on your part in order for it to work properly; extremely lightweight.
Go for a blasoned SEF extension such as sh440sef, this will add some overhead and may require a lot of work in configuration.
FOR JOOMLA 3.X:
While editing the childmenu just set (under "Linktype") "Display in menu" to "no"... it's simple like that!
Here's a reference to the joomla.docs site
https://docs.joomla.org/images/6/6f/Help-3x-menus-menu-manager-new-menu-item-link-type-en.png
if link is broken just search for "edit menu linktype joomla 3" in future.
I'm glad I can return the many saved searchtime to y'all stackpeople. Go on Community!

Can some one help me? I guess it is a simple styling, but cant seem to figure it out.

What module are you using for the menu system?
You may try using a different menu extension that the one being used currently.
It may be a CSS issue.
I tried adding some pages in joomla but the navigation on the left disappears when following the newly add link. Please have a look here and notice the left navigation bar not showing under the "Test Menu Item" (left bottom).
I have literally copied all parameters from another menu item (e.g. "MILIEU") but it doesnt seem to affect the behavior. In stead the "news archive" item is always listed in the left navigation area.
How to remove the news archive link and have the normal navigation shown?
Please help!
Joomla 1.5.25
Check the menu assignment of the module you want to show when a menu item is selected. Check this: http://www.byte.nl/cms/images/joomlatemplatecursus/jt15_5/menu-assignment.jpg
