Two menus visible

  • Hello,

    I am using the elementor menu widget and like it for customization. However, the old WordPress menu continues to show up in the background. I worked around it by covering it up with my elementary menu, but I did not address the issue.

    The problem shows up when you view my site in mobile view. If you pull the screen up or the site takes time to load, the old menu shows up on top.

    It looks like I need the WordPress menu as a default for elementary widgets. Is there a way to work around this so I don’t end up creating two menus?

    I appreciate your help.

  • the menu is built into your theme. The menu is created in 2 places in your theme. One is the functions.php file and the other is placed in the theme(usually header.php). You have 2 options for getting rid of it. One is to create a child theme and redo the header.php file(which is usually where it located). You could also create a theme template that doesn’t include a menu or uses a different header. They’re probably more options but none come to mind right now. The command in the header will be wp_nav_menu and have an array of options. In functions.php you will be looking for a command called registar_nav_menu. You don’t want to remove them from the theme. If you do they will be replaced if the theme updates. You will have to do it from a child theme.

    Hi #mrtom414

    That sounds very helpful. I am just terrible with coding. I wish there were an easier way than creating a child theme.

    Some theme developers are now creating themes with blank templates for using blocks and page builders. You could try to find a similar theme with features for page builders and using it. Depending on the size of your site it might be a major undertaking.

    It’s helpful to know there is more to it. I really appreciate your help.

    you can try hidding the menu with css. Just find the top most element and change the css to display:none

    Also, you can try remove all items from your menu. Some themes will not display an empty menu.

    If I choose to display none, will I still be able to pull it up in elementor?

    I’m guessing yes, since we didn’t actually remove it?

    I went with hiding it using ccs. It works for now. Thank you so much!
