[Support request] Secondary Menu Search and offcanvas menu

[Nathan]

I am trying to get my search and offcanvas menu in the secondary menu. like the following https://www.screencast.com/t/4VUTcUHa, I found the doc on using the Nav search in secondary nav, but that only works if there is an actual menu there as well. https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-search/

Is there an option to move the offcanvas menu to the secondary menu and if so, will it correct the search issue?

Hi there,

As more moving the search icon/bar to the secondary navigation:

This snippet should work if you’re using Flexbox on Appearance > Customize > General.

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    if ( 'enable' === generate_get_option( 'nav_search' ) ) {
        remove_action( 'generate_menu_bar_items', 'generate_do_navigation_search_button' );
        add_action( 'generate_secondary_menu_bar_items', 'generate_do_navigation_search_button' );
    }
}, 20 );

As for making the secondary navigation work as a offcanvas toggle, this will be quite tricky. You may have to resort to scripting to make it work.

So again, that only works if there is a secondary menu assigned – https://www.screencast.com/t/GOLHYOGmrx

If no menu assigned the search does not appear. https://www.screencast.com/t/GOLHYOGmrx

Hi there,

create a blank Menu ( ie. has no menu items ) for the Secondary Nav.

Thanks @david thats one way to get around it. Not sure GP will work for project unless I can get off canvas menu in the secondary position as well.

See this topic:

If not the alternative method is to swap the Primary and Secondary Navigations.
