How to set Menu?

Menu – Video Guide

1. Locations at which theme supports (displays) menus

Themes generally supports menus at 1, 2 or 3 locations ( *Number of locations vary as per theme ).

  • Available in all themes :
    – Primary Menu (appears in Theme Header)
  • Available in some themes as per requirement:
    – Secondary Menu (appears in topbar or footer or copyright, as per theme )
    – Topbar / Tertiary Menu (appears in topbar or footer or copyright, as per theme )
    – Sticky Menu (appears in sticky header)
  • Most of the times menu links / names appear as those are for demo, after XML data import. You will just need to assign them as ‘Primary menu’ or ‘Secondary menu’ and save.
  • This can be done here: Appearance > menus

How to create non click able menu link (without page assigned to it) to hold dropdown?

  • Go to : Appearance > Menus > Custom Links
  • Add ‘#’ in URL field.

  • If you have already created a page with same name, delete it and save menu first.
  • Now you can create dropdown under this newly created link like :

    sticky-menu

– Instead, you can search for plugin, which will redirect this link to first dropdown link.

Sticky Header do not have Menu

Please assign the menu for sticky header, in the same way as you have done for main / primary menu.
