Rename something in my menu
Menu labels set expectations - and a vague or outdated one (“Work”? “Stuff”? “News” last updated in 2023?) quietly loses visitors. On a bernard-hosted site you rename it in one sentence.
The prompt
“Rename [the current menu label] in my site menu to [the new label] - on every page the menu appears.”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then say what to rename, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the menu reads right, press Approve, and it’s live.
The menu appears on every page of your site, and the AI changes all of them together - so there’s no page left showing the old label.
Questions people ask
- How do I change the name of a menu item on my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, tell the AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - the old label and the new one. It updates the menu on every page of your site, and the change only goes live after you approve the preview.
- Does renaming a menu item change the page itself?
- Only if you ask. Renaming just the label is the default; if you’d like the page’s own heading or title to match the new name, say so and the AI does both in one change.
- What should I call my menu items?
- Plain words beat clever ones - ‘Shop’ outsells ‘Treasures’, and ‘Contact’ beats ‘Say hello’ for people in a hurry. Visitors should know where a link goes before they click it.
