Menus

This theme requires that two menus be set up.

Header Menu

This menu will be displayed at the top of all pages.

Recommendation is:

  • Home (Custom link to /)
  • Your
  • Pages
  • Here

Footer Links

This menu dictates the links which are displayed at the bottom of the page.

There are some quirks to how these links are generated:

  • A top-level menu item will not be added as a link, but as the section 'header'. This should be set up as a 'Custom link' with a url of '#'

  • Only the first 3 top level links will be displayed.

  • If a top-level item has no sub-items, it will be skipped (not displayed, and will not count towards the limit of 3 items)

  • As many second-level items can be added as required (but don't go too overboard - it will look silly with too many!)

  • When viewed on a computer (width > 992px), the items will be generated in two columns, as below:

    Top-level
    Sub-1 Sub-2
    Sub-3 Sub-4
  • On Smaller devices, the items are displayed as one column

Homepage

This theme includes a static homepage. You can configure which page this points to in 'Homepage settings' in the customize menu.
