Primary menu difficulty’s

  • Hello everyone,
    I made this website, and ran into a problem.

    I like to have the scrolling homepage as Pique is built for, but also want to link to one or maybe more separate pages like my Contact page in the primary menu. This made me stop using the ‘add anchor menu to front page’ in the theme options and instead I use custom links in the primary menu to go to the different parts on my homepage, so for the pages on my homepage I use mysite.wordpress.com/#post-… as custom link. This partially gave me the desired effect, my contact page is reachable, and so are the important parts on my homepage (I don’t want all panels on the homepage in the primary or secondary menu). Unfortunately I ran into a few complications:
    1. The color of the custom links in the primary menu is brown-ish, and not white like when they were normal page links (like my contact page) or when I used the anchor menu’s.
    2. The custom links do not scroll the page down to the desired part like the anchor menu’s did, but instead jump cut to it which doesn’t look smooth at all.

    Can someone please have a look at this and tell me wether these things are fixable within the theme or wether I can do something about it? I hope there is a simple solution which I am just not seeing, because I am using a free plan (probably will upgrade to Personal, yes I am a poor student) so no CSS for me.

    Thank you!

  • Hi Elco,

    This forum is for the self-hosted version of Pique.

    For help with the WordPress.com version, please open a new support request with WordPress.com at https://wordpress.com/help/contact

    If that takes you to the WordPress.com forums, add the tag modlook to ensure that a staff member sees it.

    That said:

    1. The color of the custom links in the primary menu is brown-ish, and not white like when they were normal page links (like my contact page) or when I used the anchor menu’s.

    This can be changed using custom CSS, but on WordPress.com that requires the Premium Plan upgrade or higher.

    2. The custom links do not scroll the page down to the desired part like the anchor menu’s did, but instead jump cut to it which doesn’t look smooth at all.

    What you’re describing is how page jump links normally work. The automatic anchor link menu in this theme uses JavaScript code to add the scrolling behaviour, but that code does not run if a regular custom menu is used. There is no way to force the regular menu to behave in the same way.
