Site switcher
Add a header strip that lets visitors move between your connected sites.
The Site Switcher adds a narrow strip in the header that lists a set of related sites as links, so visitors can jump from one to another — for example, between a venue's main site and its festival site. Use it when you run more than one site and want a consistent way to move between them.
You add each site by hand; the strip does not detect your other sites automatically.
Sites
Each entry in the strip is one site. Add the sites you want to link under Sites; each entry starts collapsed.
For every site, set:
- Label (required) — the name shown in the strip.
- URL (required) — where the link goes.
- Is Current Site — turn this on for the site visitors are already on, so it's marked as the current one. Off by default.
Appearance
The Site Switcher adds a few options of its own to the Appearance tab:
- Background — Solid (default) or Transparent. Transparent lets whatever sits behind the strip show through.
- Border — None, Edge (default), or All. Edge draws a single dividing line; All outlines the whole strip.
- Border Style — shown when a border is on. Theme (default) uses your theme's border styling; choose Custom to set your own.
- Border Width and Border Color — shown only with a Custom border style. Border width runs from 1 to 8 (default 1); the border colour defaults to black.
The tab also carries the standard Color Scheme picker and a Custom Colors toggle for setting a one-off Background Color and Text Color — see Colour scheme in blocks.
Shared controls
The Site Switcher uses the standard block controls for everything else. By default it sits at content width, with no extra spacing above or below.
- Layout controls — set the width and container, including a Narrow option.
- Spacing and padding — adjust the padding and margin around the strip.
Example
An organisation that runs two brands from one account adds a Site Switcher to the header of both. On the venue site, the venue entry has Is Current Site turned on and the festival entry links across; on the festival site, the marking is reversed. Visitors see a consistent strip at the top of every page and always know which site they're on.
