Header and menus

Configure the Goodnews header, the main navigation and the mega menu.

Goodnews's header — logo, top bar and main navigation — is configured in two places: the theme options panel for the header itself, and the WordPress menus screen for what appears in it.

Header settings

In Goodnews → Theme Options, the header section controls your logo, whether the top bar is shown, and the overall header layout.

The mega menu

Each item in the Main Menu gains extra fields when you expand it in the menu editor: an icon, a display type — regular, dropdown, or mega menu — and, for mega menu items, a layout option and space for custom content.
