  • Import: Dummy contents

Menu Configuration

This theme require custom menus to work. You can find the custom menus management under Appearance -> Menus.

Creating your menus

You’ll need to create at least one new menu for the primary navigation. Collektion has two different locations for the primary navigation, which are located within the right off-canvas slide bar and in case you use the standard header navigation, there’s a location for this area. Collektion also supports more custom menus, which you could use in the widget area. Click the Create a new menu to add a new menu.

Now, on the left hand side, select the pages you would like to have added to the menu. You can then click “Add to Menu” and they will show up on the right side of the page. You can drag the pages around to arrange them the way you’d like.

Now that you have the menu created, you need to assign it in the Theme Locations located at the bottom. From Menu Settings, check the appropriate location for your menu and save.

Search & Newsletter

The fullscreen Search & Newsletter forms can be activated by creating any links linked to #search and #subscribe. You can edit the contents of the newsletter form under Appearance -> Theme Options -> Footer Settings.
