Memberlite includes four default theme locations for defining site navigation. You should also set a menu for smaller screens / mobile visitors by adding the ‘Custom Menu’ widget to the Mobile Menu.

Create and Assign Menus

  1. Navigate to Appearance > Menus.
  2. Create a New Menu.
  3. Add items to your menu and check the appropriate Theme Location for your menu.
  4. Save the menu.

Memberlite Menu Theme Locations

  • Primary Menu: Located between the header and the main site content.
  • Member Menu: Located in the upper right colored block when user is logged in. Customize this menu by membership level by using the Member-Specific Nav Menus Add On.
  • Meta Menu: Located in the right column of the header.
  • Footer Menu: Located at the bottom of the page above your copyright text.

Responsive Menu Behavior

The Members, Meta, and Main menus are all hidden on small devices. A toggle-able widget area is displayed on these smaller screens. You can add a Custom Menu widget to the Mobile Menu widget area under Appearance > Widgets.

If you do not define any widgets in the Mobile Menu widget area, the Primary Menu will show as a fallback.
