The Header & Footer section settings provide flexibility and ease in setting up important site content such as Dropdown Navigation, Search capability, Social links, and Copyright statements.

Drop Down Navigation

You can give your menus a different look by enabling Drop Down Navigation. When you hover over a menu, additional menu items appear underneath.

Enable Drop Down Navigation

From your WordPress Administration Panel:

  1. Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Settings"
  2. Select the "Header And Footer" tab
  3. Check "Enable Drop Down Navigation?"
    • You can also choose to disable the Text Shadows & Arrows
  4. Click "Save Options"

Offset(Nest) Menu Items

Now you will need to configure on which pages the Drop Down Menus will appear. Simply go into your custom menu and offset (indent) those pages to the right.





Now you will see that any menus you offset will be nested underneath their parent menu item.

If you are having problems with the Drop Down menus falling behind Flash elements, such as an embedded YouTube video on your Feature Slider, click here for more information.

Secondary Navigation

Secondary Navigation allows you to place unique menus on individual pages.

This is especially helpful when either:

    1. you need different menus on each page
    2. or, instead of using Drop Down Menus, you want your "nested" or "secondary" menu items visible at all times

Setting Secondary Nav using WordPress menus

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:

  1. Select the "PageLines" panel, then "Settings"
  2. Select the "Header And Footer" tab
  3. Check "Use Child Pages for Secondary Nav?"
  4. 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.
