This tutorial shows you how to add a new widget area to your primary or secondary nav menu.
Simply change the menu name in the code from primary to secondary if needed.
I’ll provide 3 solutions:
- One for Genesis users
- One which works in any theme
- Add directly to your themes header.php file
Here’s the new widget added to the secondary menu and populated with the Simple Social Icons widget:
The tutorial also includes CSS for horzontal and vertical positioning of your widgets content in your nav menu.
Here’s the code for logged in members:
Almost there. Widget registered. I installed the simple social icons in the widget and I’m getting nothing at the moment. But I do appreciate how far you’ve gotten me.
The issue might be that my primary menu is a custom menu widget placed in the header right position.
Hopefully I’m not making it too confusing by writing out my thoughts as I ponder on this.
