Frequently Asked Questions

I've added the menu element but I do not see the menus in the dropdown box

Make sure that you have created your menus under Appearance >> Menus

In the Branding module, I've selected the logo but it does not appear

Make sure a) your theme supports the custom logo options and b) that a logo has been set in the theme's customizer.

How do I make a split navigation with the Site title/logo in the middle?

a: Go to Appearance >> Menus (if not already done so) and create two sets of menus - for brevity will call them Left Menu and Right Menu
b: Go to create a page (if not already done so), give it a title say Navigation Bar 1 and click Edit with Elementor. It is recommended to use a blank template for this - if your theme does not have you can use the Page Template plugin.
c: In the Edit mode insert a 3 column section into the page, adjust the middle column to be slight narrower than the 2 outer ones.
e: Drag and drop the NavMenu widget in to each of the outer columns and adjust setting as desired. Now drag and drop the Branding element into the middle column - adjust settings accordingly and save.
Done! :)

Known Issues

  • Currently both the Overlay and MegaMenu content are not viewable while in Edit Mode - this is due to both having an on.Click event to display content which does not seem to work in the Editor.
  • For the time being, any changes made to both of the above can be viewed on the frontend of the site. A fix is being sought and will be implemented as soon as a viable solution is found!
