Summary
In this video I walk through the process of customizing the navigation menus in a WordPress site that uses the Elementor‑based theme. I start by opening the Appearance → Menus screen, explain why I prefer using custom links instead of automatically pulling in every page (the page slugs often don’t match the desired wording), and show how to add a custom link, give it a title, and insert it into the menu structure. I demonstrate dragging the new item to any position and adding a second level of indentation to create a submenu.
Next, I differentiate between “normal” menu items (e.g., Galerie, À propos, Horaires des cours, Accueil) and the theme’s built‑in mega‑menu items (Cours and Workshop). I explain that a mega menu is essentially a submenu that loads a full Elementor page as its dropdown content, which can contain accordions, columns, images, etc. I then show how to edit those mega‑menu sections by clicking Edit → Edit Drop‑Down Content, which opens an Elementor‑style editor where the mega menu is treated like a regular page. I note the loading delay (about 10 seconds) and point out the accordion widgets that act as secondary menus.
I illustrate how to rename an accordion, modify its inner items, and add new links. When adding a new element I recommend duplicating an existing item, using the copy‑icon button, and then editing the title, URL, and order. I caution against adding an element directly because the theme forces an icon that can break the layout.
After the edits, I publish the changes by clicking the X, selecting Save Options, closing the editor, and finally clicking Save Menu.
I then repeat the procedure for the second mega‑menu (Workshop). I open its Edit Drop‑Down view, wait for it to load, and point out that the “Workshop d’été” entry is currently just a plain title link, not a dropdown. To turn it into a proper dropdown I duplicate the item, rename the copy to “Workshop d’été”, set it as a dropdown, and delete the original title‑only entry. This is the only special step required for that menu.
Finally, I save the menu again, confirm that all changes are applied, and close the session, offering to answer any further questions.
