Menu

Menu custom WPBakery Page Builder element, added by Loyde, renders a menu created in WordPress.

How to select the menu for rendering

It's possible to select menu by two different criteria:

  1. By menu location
  2. By menu name

Selecting by menu location

The user selects a menu location defined on the website. Loyde defines a few menu locations, but 3rd-party plugins can add more. More information here.

This is useful if it's necessary to always display the menu assigned to e.g. "Primary" menu location, considering that the assigned menu can be changed in the future.

Selecting by menu name

The user selects the menu by it's name. This is useful for displaying menus which aren't currently assigned to any menu location. That way, the user can create a new menu in WordPress dashboard for any number of special cases (not anticipated by Loyde menu location), without the need to create a new menu location for each of them.
