How to use the full-width Navigation module on Divi Builder

Divi's Full Width Menu module allows you to place a navigation menu anywhere on the page. This could be used to add a second page menu to the page, or it could be used in conjunction with the Blank Page feature to move your main navigation to the bottom of the page. For example, you can move your menu below your first section to accommodate people with a large startup image. This basically allows your header navigation to move around the page using the builder!

How to add a full-screen menu module to your page

Before you can add a full-width menu module to your page, you must first jump into Divi Builder. Once the Divi theme installed on your Website, you will notice a button Use Divi Builder above the post editor whenever you create a new page. Click on this button to activate Divi Builder and access all the Divi Builder modules. Then click on the button Use Visual Builder to start the generator in visual mode. You can also click the button Enable Visual Builder when you browse your Website in the foreground if you are logged into your WordPress dashboard.

Once you have entered Visual Builder, you can click the gray plus button to add a new module to your page. New fullwidth modules can only be added inside fullwidth sections. If you are starting a new page, don't forget to add a fullwidth section to your page first. We have some great tutorials on how to use Divi section elements.

Locate the full-width menu module in the list of modules and click on it to add it to your page. The list of modules is searchable, which means you can also type in the word "Fullwith menu" or "full-width menu" (depending on your version) and then click enter to automatically search and add the full-width menu module ! Once the module is added, you will be greeted by the module options list. These options are separated into three main groups: Contents , Design et Advanced .

Example use case: Adding a Fullwidth menu under the page header

For this example, I'll show you how to add a fullwidth menu under the header section of a page.

Here is an example:

Since this new full page menu will replace the default main navigation menu, it is necessary to select the blank page template so that the default navigation menu does not appear at the top of the page in addition to the full width menu. that I will add.

To edit your page template, go to your page editor and select the "blank page" template in the Page Attributes area of the right sidebar.

Since this module will display a menu that already exists, it is important that you have already created the menu before adding it to the full width menu module.

Once you've created your menu, use the visual builder to add a Fullwidth section just below the header section of the page. Then add a full width menu module to the section.

Update the Fullwidth menu settings as follows:

Content options

Menu: [select the menu that should be used in the module] Context: # 333333

Design options

Text color: Light Text orientation: Center Menu Font: Roboto Menu Font size: 20px

That's all !
