Wordpress menu other then a primary or social to be linked to PG smart menu?

Pinegrow WP

Hi,
In my PG WordPress theme I have a primary menu.
But on one page I don’t want to use that primary or social menu.
I want to use another menu that I setup in Wordpress.

In the PG Wordpress Smart section i dont see the option to link another menu, is that right?

Possible solutions I see:

  1. create a social menu that has nothing to do with social and use that in the smart action.
  2. create a widget area. Then insert via customizer WP a menu in that widget area and hope the styling will work

Any ideas here?

Primary and Social are the two pre-defined menus in Pinegrow. You can create as many as you want, though. Just give them different names.

It’s not uncommon to have separate menus 3, 4, or more different menus on a site.

I’m very new to Pinegrow and I’m wondering about the “proper way” to tell Pinegrow about new menues.

The default, as already said, seems to be “primary” and “social”. Now I’d like to also define a “legal” menu. In the Wordpress Action “Nav Menu” (wp_nav_menu") I can select “primary” and “social”, and I can type “legal”. I figured out, that the default menu entries match, what is written and in functions.php. Manually entering “legal” in functions.php registers the menu correctly with Wordpress and can also be used in Pinegrow to address this menu, but when I regenerate the functions.php in Pinegrow the manual addition gets lost.

Is there a correct way to register additional menues with Pinegrow, so that Pinegrow will “generate” them into functions.php?

Hi @Selenium

Have you checked out the Wordpress docs. The Menu WP Action has a tick box for registering a menu location.

Thank you for pointing this out. I did read through some documentation but did not notice this. I’ll check it out.
