Manage Menu

This explains how to manage the website menus.

There are four possible places to put menus on this theme.  To make any menu changes in the admin menu you can go to Appearance -> Menus

  • Main Navigation
    • This is the main menu for the website
  • Top Navigation
    • This can be used to add menu to top of page
    • Not using because when I tried to use it I couldn’t remove the main navigation menu so it was a duplicate.
  • Footer Navigation
    • Used to manage menu at bottom of page
  • Social Icons
    • Used to manage social icons at top of page
Edit Tab
  • This tab is used to modify a menu.
  • Select the menu you want to edit in the drop down and hit the select button.
  • That menu setup should now show up.
Manage Location Tab
  • This tab is used to pick which menu shows up in each location
  • Current configuration
  • Main Navigation – Primary Menu
  • Top Navigation – empty
  • Footer Navigation – Footer
  • Social Navigation – Social Networks
Main Navigation
  • This is the active main menu for our website.
  • Add top level menu with no active page to link to
    • If you want to add a new top level menu item but don’t have a set page to go to like most of our’s right now.  So it will be a menu with submenus below it with links
