Noob qu: Why can I only have one menu item showing?

[louisecroft]

This is probably a stupid question, but I’m trying to add a selection of menu items under my header (on header option 4) but I seem to only be able to add one and each new one replaces the previous one. Have I missed something?
Thanks!
Louise

Looks like you have added two now? Are you saving the menu after you have added all your menu items?

Please list the steps you are taking.

If you want us to login and test this, please add a WP login.

Cheers,

Thanks

Hiya,

Thanks for the super fast reply! The wishlist has been added automatically I think (just activated all the plugins).

I’m in Appearance>Customize>Menus. Have managed to add the menus I want but when I tick the menu location boxes for them they say ‘currently:shop’ and so replace the shop button with the new menu.

I think it’s better to manage the menus in Appearance-> Menus
currently you are using the menu called Shop in every menu locations.

Go to the tab Menu locations and adjust the desired menus.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for your help.

So I think I’ve worked out that I’ve been using the word ‘menu’ wrongly. Am I right that I can only have links to ‘pages’ appear in the header menu bar? In that case – I’ve made a page called ‘women’ and I’d like this to display only the products marked as being in the ‘women’ category. Do you know how I do this? Then I’ll also do the same for men, kids, unisex etc, and some products will appear on more than one page.

Thanks!!
Louise

You have 2 ways of doing that.

1) Adding a product category directly to the menu.
First I enable the product categories so you can use them on the menus.

2) You can create a new page for each category(Woman, Kids, etc). Inside that page just add a Products assets and choose the specific category you want to choose in the page.

The 2n option will allow you to have control on the content that you have in the page, while the 1st can’t be edited.
