Notes:

Menus

Follow the steps to create your menus:

  1. Create three new menus in Appearance → Menus.
    1. You can turn menu items into icons by specifying one of the CSS classes from the fonts page in the "CSS Classes" field.
  2. Attach your menus to the three locations.
    1. Locations:
      1. Header menu left
      2. Header menu right
      3. Header menu mobile
    2. The logo is centered if both locations (left and right) have menus.
    3. Lack of "Header menu left" will make the logo left-aligned.
    4. Lack of "Header menu right" will make the logo right-aligned.
Example configuration of Appearance → Customize → Menus.
