Step 3: create a new menu
— Learn how to create a menu. This menu will be the navigation on the website.
Wordpress by Popeye Cloud -> navigation
Create a new menu
Create a new menu -> choose a menu name e.g. primary menu.
On the left side, add menu items. Choose a page title and add to menu. Now you have linked the page with the menu.
Each menu item has several properties:
Navigation Label: The name that will be displayed in the menu.
Icon: Choose an icon by clicking on the ‘icon’ button.
Button style: Shows the menu item as a button.
Menu items can be dragged in a different order by dragging vertically up and down. If you drag an element horizontally they menu item becomes a submenu.
Custom links are used to refer to an anchor point (a specific part of a page). You can use an external link by placing the name of the anchor point at the back of the external link preceded by a hashtag. For example yourwebsite.com/home#about.
Important: After you have created your menu you have to assign it to a display location. You have three locations to display your menu.
- Primary Menu: classic menu location.
- Secondary Menu: placed above the primary menu and always subordinate to the primary menu. It is formatted in a smaller font and right aligned. E.g. include language options, login,…
- Call to action menu: placed at the same level on the right side of the primary menu. These are possibly separated by a dividing line. Is mainly used as a search button or shopping basket.
When you have made all the customizations, select “save menu”.
