Header and footer links

There are two navigation in Ghost. Primary and secondary. In this theme the primary navigation is shown in header and the secondary navigation is shown in footer.

Primary navigation

Primary navigation of this theme supports one level dropdown menu items. This theme allows you to create dropdown menus by using square brackets in the menu name.

How it works:

  • Go to Settings > Navigation > Primary Navigation.

  • Write a menu item name followed by a label inside [ ]

  • The text inside the brackets becomes the dropdown menu title

  • All menu items with the same bracket label are automatically grouped together

  • They appear under one dropdown in the navigation

Example (label used here is just an example):

  • Lifestyle [Topics]

  • Health [Topics]

  • Technology [Topics]

  • Travel [Topics]

All these items will appear inside a dropdown menu called Topics. For reference, please check the below snapshots:

Secondary navigation

In the secondary navigation, you can create menu headings by adding a # at the beginning of a menu item name.

How it works:

  • Go to Settings > Navigation > Secondary Navigation.

  • Any menu item that starts with # is treated as a heading

  • That item itself is not clickable

  • All menu items listed below it appear as normal links under that heading

  • The next # item starts a new heading section

Example:

  • #Pages

    • Home

    • Tags

    • Authors

    • Membership

    • About

    • Contact Us

  • #Post Template

    • Default or Wide Post

    • No Image Post

    • Full Width Image Post

    • Image Overlay Post

    • TOC Post

    • Split Post

    This allows you to neatly group related links under clear section titles, making the secondary navigation easier to scan and more organized for users. For reference, please check the below snapshots:
