Can't Add Navigation Bar/Header
10 replies · Started by Megan on January 15, 2018
Hi!
I am trying to add the top navigation bar to my website. I currently have it on one page of the site - the home page. Every time I set up a different page it looks like the menu is covered in white. I have checked the settings of the page- as I am using Elementor Premium and GP Premium. I can't see any difference between my Home Page, and the new page settings I am trying to add. Does anyone have any advice?
Hi there,
You should be able to change the Primary Navigation color through the customizer: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/colors-overview/
Let me know.
Hi Leo!
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried changing the color, but that doesn't seem to work for the primary menu option as that is what I have selected.
Also, it is working fine on one page, but not the other.

I am not sure what other settings to try. Any help you could give would be appreciated.
Hi Leo!
This is the page that I am having trouble with---
http://themarketingcorner.com/home-improvement…rketing-services/
This is what I would like it to mimic-
http://themarketingcorner.com
That can be done with our page header add-on:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-header-overview/
Then merge with site header and navigation:

THanks Leo,
Is there anyway I can please send you my login/pw. For some reason, when I am adding the header it is changing it. The header is already on the page, there is just a white box over it, and therefore, it won't let the image move up or show the navigation.
I would really appreciate it. I am very confused on how I was able to accomplish this for the front page of the website- themarketingcorner.com without having to do all of the merging/new header.
Thanks!
Megan
You used Elementor with the following method for the front page for your site:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/merging-header-navigation-content/
The page you are having trouble with is the blog page which you aren't using Elementor (which I don't think you can since it's an index/archive page)
If you want a page header with the same effect on that page, you will need to create one:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/page-header-overview/
Then merge:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/merging-the-page-header-site-header/
Assign it to blog page:

Let me know if this helps.
Hi Leo!
Thanks for the information. I understand that completely. I just can't type in the content area of the space where you need to create a new header. It will let me name the header, but then I can't type anything for where I need to insert the code. (Where it says HTML & Shortcodes allowed). Instead, a "background color" box pops up and it won't let me scroll away from there. Do you have any advice for that?
Thank you!
That doesn't sound right.
Can you try disable non-GP premium plugins?
I finally have figured it out. I had to reinstall the GP Premium Plug-in, and elementor pro. I am not sure where the mixup was but it wasn't letting me type in anything into that area. I basically had to wipe everything and start over. It is fixed now. Thank you!
Glad you figured out!
