Create the main menu

MyListing displays the menu assigned to the Primary Menu location in its desktop and mobile headers.

Create and assign the menu

1. Go to Appearance → Menus in wp-admin.
2. Select create a new menu, enter a descriptive menu name, and select Create Menu.
3. Add pages, posts, categories, or custom links from the Add menu items panel.
4. Drag items into the order you want. Indent an item beneath another one to create a submenu.
5. Under Menu Settings → Display location, enable Primary Menu.
6. Select Save Menu.

The menu’s name does not need to be “Main Menu.” Its assigned display location is what tells MyListing to render it in the header. You can also change the assignment from the Manage Locations tab on the Menus screen.

Add an icon to a menu item

MyListing can process icon shortcodes inside menu labels. In the Primary Menu, these icons are displayed in the mobile menu and hidden at desktop widths by default.

1. Go to Theme Tools → Shortcodes.
2. Select Icon, choose an icon, and copy the generated shortcode.
3. Return to Appearance → Menus and expand the menu item you want to edit.
4. Paste the shortcode at the beginning of its Navigation Label, followed by the item text.
5. Save the menu and check both desktop and mobile layouts.

Keep mobile labels short

Long labels and deeply nested menus are harder to scan on a phone. Preview the open mobile menu after changing its structure or adding icons.

The navigation’s global alignment is controlled by Theme Tools → Theme Options → Header → Main Menu Location. Individual Elementor pages can override that setting from Page Settings → Header when Customize Header? is enabled.
