To change the order of the songs, drag and drop each song using the arrows icon on the left of the “fields” text, on the header of each song.

To hide or show the tracks for an easier editing, you can use the Eye button.

To remove a song, click on the red icon that appears on the header of each song.
If you have problems adding the tracks, save the chart before proceeding (even using the Save Draft function). In some browsers minor issues can occur if you don’t save before adding each track.

  • Go to appearance -> menus
  • Click “Screen Options”
  • Enable “Charts” and Chart Categories”
  • The new items will be available in the left columns of the menu page. Select what you want to add and click “Add to Menu”

Alternatively, create a new Page and use the “Archive Chart” template, then this page will be automatically updated with every new chart. You can easily add this page to every menu using the  Appearances -> Menus functions.
