Hello Jan,
If you’re using the Lancre theme in WordPress and you cannot find the “Menu” option under Appearance > Customize, it’s possible that the theme might handle menus differently or use a custom approach for setting up navigation.
To add a menu to your WordPress site using the Lancre theme, you can try the following steps:
- Access the WordPress Dashboard: Log in to your WordPress website, and in the admin area, click on “Appearance” in the left-hand sidebar.
- Look for a Customizer Link: In the “Appearance” section, check if there is an option for “Customize” or “Customizer.” Click on that link to access the WordPress Customizer.
- Find the Navigation Settings: Once you’re in the Customizer, look for settings related to navigation, menus, or header options. The exact location and wording may vary depending on the theme.
- Create a New Menu: If you can’t find any existing menu, you may need to create a new one. Look for an option to create a new menu, and give it a name (e.g., “Main Menu” or “Primary Menu”).
- Add Menu Items: After creating the menu, you can start adding items to it. You can typically add pages, posts, categories, custom links, and more as menu items.
- Assign the Menu: Once you’ve set up your menu and added the desired items, look for a setting to assign the menu to a specific location. Common menu locations are “Primary Menu,” “Header Menu,” or “Main Menu.”
- Save and Publish: After making changes to your menu, don’t forget to save and publish the changes in the Customizer.
Keep in mind that different themes may have unique ways of managing menus, so if you can’t find the specific options mentioned above, it’s possible that the Lancre theme has its own custom menu setup. In such cases, I recommend referring to the theme’s documentation or support resources for more specific guidance on how to set up and customize the navigation menu.
