How to create multiple menus in Wix?

I’m having trouble with
Adding a separate menu in the footer (which is different from the one shown in the header).

Working in
Wix Editor

Site link

What I’m trying to do
I am trying to add a different menu (with different entries than the one shown in in the header menu) in the footer.

What I’ve tried so far
When changing something in the footer menu, the same changes show up in the header menu too (that should not be)

Extra context

Simply set is as ‘Advanced’.

Thanks for the answer, Pratham. May i ask for further details. I have a menu set up for the header. And another for the footer, which right now is reflecting (and mirroring) the set up i see imn the header.

Which of these two i need to set up as an advanced one? only the footoer version? or the header version? or both?

Just set the footer one as Advanced. No need to do anything to the header one.

All menus in the Wix Editor are connected to your Site Page list by default. So any menu that you want to edit your way, simply set it to Advanced and then you can customise it your way by adding links, submenus, etc without affecting other menus on the site.

I was able to set this up as a vertical menu (advanced) in the page footer. And it works well on the web view.

Issue now is, that this vertical menu is disabled and therefor not shown on the mobile view.

If i try to enable it in the “Hidden” settings for mobile views, it immediately becomes disabled again.

How can i get this vertical menu being shown in the mobile footer too?

In the Wix Editor, it’s not possible to have more than one menu on the mobile view. It’s simply the mobile hamburger menu :slight_smile:

Why would i offer multiple menus, to then not allowing them on mobile? Facepalm!

Hi, @lga !!

Wix may not provide a built-in feature for creating multiple menus, but it should still be possible to create your own elements or components that function like menus. :innocent:

Which leads to different experiences both on implementation and user side.

Let’s name it as it is – allowing multiple menus on desktop, but disabling them then on Mobile is d**b…

Hi lga,

In Wix, the header and footer menus are linked by default, which is why changes in one appear in the other. To create a separate footer menu with different entries, follow these steps:

Add a new menu element to your footer:

Go to the Editor → Add (+) Button → Menu → choose a menu style.

Disconnect it from the site menu:

Select the new menu → click Settings → under Menu Items, choose “Custom Menu” instead of “Main Menu.”

Add your custom links:

You can now add pages, anchors, or external links that are different from your header menu.

Style and position:

Adjust the look and placement to match your footer design.

This way, the footer menu is completely independent of the header menu.

Hope this helps!
