Creating and Displaying a WordPress Menu in Breakdance
This guide explains how to create a menu in the WordPress admin panel and display it using Breakdance. The process involves creating a menu in WordPress and then integrating it into a Breakdance header for a seamless website navigation experience.
Creating a Menu in WordPress Admin Panel
To create a menu in WordPress:
- Navigate to ‘Appearance’ > ‘Menus’ in the WordPress admin panel.
- Give your menu a name, for example, ‘My Menu’, and click ‘Create Menu’.
- Add pages or posts to your menu. Select pages from the list or use the search function to find specific pages like ‘Home’, ‘Services’, or ‘Portfolio’.
- To create a dropdown menu, drag pages under the desired parent menu item.
- Once your menu is organized as desired, click ‘Save Menu’.
Integrating the Menu into Breakdance Header
Next, integrate the menu into a Breakdance header:
- Go to ‘Breakdance’ > ‘Headers’ in the WordPress admin panel.
- Click ‘Add Header’ to create a new header, or edit an existing one if you already have a header on your site.
- Name the header, for instance, ‘My Header’, apply it to ‘Everywhere’, and then click ‘Add Header’.
- Open the header in Breakdance for editing.
- Add a ‘Header Builder’ element and then add the ‘WP Menu’ element to pull the menu from WordPress into your header. You can also add a logo for a complete look.
Styling the Menu in Breakdance
To style the WordPress menu in Breakdance:
- Access styling options in the ‘Design’ tab of the WP Menu element.
- Customize styles for desktop and mobile menus, including spacing and other design elements.
- If you have multiple WordPress menus, you can select the specific menu to be displayed in the WP Menu element under ‘Menu’.
