I can't remember how to add a bookmarked site to my favorites bar. I'm using an iPad 2. Found online instructions which don't at all match my machine i.e. + sign by address box- don't have one; favorites bar choice under favorites in bookmarks, don't have one. I've done it in the past but can't remember how I did it. Help. Thnx.
iPad 2, iOS 9.1
Tap the icon that looks like an arrow coming out of a box. The option to add to favorites or bookmark will then be visible. -AJ
Thnx AJ397 but your response did not answer the posed question. The question was how to get a website onto the favorites bar not how to bookmark a website. Easy peasy on my laptop but not on iPad.
Actually, yes, he did answer your question. An item on the Favorites bar is simply a bookmark in a specific folder ("Favorites") and placing a website into either is performed just how he described.

You can also relocate an existing bookmark (see Editing Favorites in the link above).
It's lke AJ and Kilgore-Trout said. I'm just a little slow today. You may have to tap done after Add to Favorits, I can't remember. 🙂
You all are still missing what I am trying to do. I have 23 items in favorites bookmarks, 11 in favorites bar. When I add a site to bookmarks and put it into favorites file, it does not automatically go onto the favorites bar. I always had to choose to put things there myself. That is what don't remember how to do . On my laptop I just grab it from the address box and pull it onto the favorites bar. Can't do that on my iPad. One website I visited today told me to just pull it to favorites bar. That did not work either. I know I have done it in the past because those 11 sites are there. I can remove them and rename them but I can't add. If I tap the three little dots at the right of the bar, all my favorites are displayed. That graphic you show above only adds to the favorites in bookmarks, not to the favorite bar. I checked my settings and they look good.
Alll of your Favorits should automatically appear in the Favorites bar, no additional steps needed. With the amount of Favorites I have I prefer the Favorite panel
.
You can reorder the favorites bar by tapping edit while looking at your favorites list. The order of the list is the order of the favorites bar. You could also make folders and keep those in the favorites bar. Like bobseufert I have a lot of favorites and have found the favorites panel to be the best option for me.
The favorites bar is limited in what it can display. Tap the ... to see those that are not displayed.
Anything placed in Favorites is on the favorites bar, but but due to space, may not be visible unless you open using the ... link. The only alternative is to use folders.
