[Resolved] Add menu or text to secondary menu?

[Craig]

Hello,
Wondering if it’s possible to add an additional menu or text (e.g. phone number & email address) to the secondary menu.

Here’s a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/apkec75fwo4qxe5/gp-test-screenshot.png?dl=0

Would it be easier to create a couple widget areas there with hooks instead of using the secondary menu addon?

Thanks!
Craig

Hi Craig,

I believe the way to do this is as follows:
– Dashboard > Appearance > Menus and create a new menu with items you want in the Secondary Menu.
– You can create an e-mail link and phone number link by adding a Custom Link, use # for URL and add

<a href="mailto:YOUR_EMAIL">LINK_TEXT</a>
<a href="tel:YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER">LINK_TEXT</a>

– Next go into Customizer > Menu > Menu Locations > Select the menu you just created in Secondary Menu
– Then you can style it in Customizer > Layout > Secondary Navigation.
Let me know if this helps!

Thanks Bishop! You nailed most of that.

To make your items float to the left like that, this should help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/split-top-menu-into-left-and-right-section/#post-200423

Also, instead of the HTML above, you would just use the URL and Navigation Label fields when adding your custom links.

So mailto:YOUR_EMAIL in your URL field, and LINK_TEXT in the Navigation field.

Thanks guys! I didn’t think of adding a CSS class to float those specific menu items. Great idea!

Glad we could help 🙂
