I have a site (www.merlotembargo.com) with a page (www.merlotembargo.com/events) dedicated to a subset of the main site. I want this sub-page and all associated pages with it to have different navigation than the main site. (application is my band - main site is focused on our original music, /events is focused on hiring us for private events. They need to be different.)
In the wix editor, we can’t have two headers. So I’ve created a fake “header” for the /events side of things. Basically, all the pages under /events are header and footer-less, and I’ve just added a top menu on these pages.
On the desktop site, it all looks great and works fine. However, on the mobile site, my substitute navigation menu doesn’t appear at all. Is there a way I can force it to appear?
You can try creating a mobile-specific menu that is hidden on the desktop for this page. Another Approach is to add a Button in the mobile editor(only) and a lightbox with your event-specific menu. When visitors click the button, it opens the lightbox, creating a pseudo menu. You can hide the button in the desktop editor.
You can see the menu in the desktop site, but when I switch to mobile, it isn’t available in the layers; it just dissapears like the horizontal menu earlier. Is there a mobile specific menu I should be using?
I’m guessing this is a follow on from the topic where we faked the 2 headers
This is perhaps the downside to the approach - since the mobile site only supports one menu component.
If it’s a hidden element and you’re expecting to see it, take a look at the eye icon on the left side of your screenshot. Any hidden elements will be tucked away there, and you can re-enable them
yeah, exacly it, Noah. The normal mobile site (merlotembargo.com) works fine with the embedded navigation, switches to a nice slick hamburger menu in mobile view.
The /events section (ie, all of the pages in which I’ve set up without headers, using the alternate navigation menus) though, won’t seem to grab those menus from and populate in the mobile view. I have to manually add the elements in the mobile editor, and as you suggested, perhaps the fact that I’ve already used the main navigation menu elsewhere, is why the other menus don’t appear in the mobile editor options for which elements I can add.
So i faked it with text/links in the top sections of those pages. Not slick. In fact, pretty clunky compared to the nice navigation in the mobile view on the header pages, but it works. One major downside is that i need to update all pages individually if I ever change it. :-/
