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Menu labels set expectations — and a vague or outdated one ("Work"?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.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- 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.
The prompt
“Rename [the current menu label] in my site menu to [the new label] — on every page the menu appears.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
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.
