On some pages, you may want your nested/dropdown menu items to be visible at all times (without having to hover over the parent menu.)
Secondary Navigation gives you this capability by allowing you to designate unique menus on individual pages.
In effect, you can pull the "dropdown" out of the main menu and visibly position it under the main menu (or wherever you choose to place it).
There are two options for displaying the Secondary Nav Menu. The default option is to use a WordPress menu. Once you create the menu, you must assign it to a page through the page's Meta Settings.
The second option is to use Child Pages as your Secondary Nav menu instead of a WordPress Menu.
From your WordPress Administration Panel:
- Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Settings"
- Select the "Header And Footer" tab
- Check "Use Child Pages for Secondary Nav?"
- Click "Save Options"
Once you setup the Secondary Nav menu, by default it will be displayed underneath your Primary Website Navigation. However, you can move it around inside any of the Template Areas.
