Departments panel

Applies to Theme 0.2.1 New in Theme 0.2.1 Updated 8 October 2026 View as Markdown

The Header with departments (Kilowatt's) has an All categories button. It opens a panel with your departments down the side and, beside the one you point at, its columns and a promotion.

The Kilowatt header with All categories open: departments with icons, columns and a promotion

Without a menu

If the store has no menu with the slug departments, the panel lists your product categories.

With your own departments

  1. Go to Appearance → Editor → Navigation and create a menu whose slug is departments.
  2. Add one item for each department.
  3. To give a department an icon, select it, open Advanced and add a class such as lanternwp-icon--laptop in Additional CSS class(es). The icons are: alert, arrow, bag, bolt, box, card, check, clock, coffee, compare, cpu, down, download, edit, eye, fire, gamepad, gift, grid, heart, help, info, laptop, leaf, left, list, lock, logout, mail, menu, minus, monitor, ok, phone, pin, plus, return, right, search, shield, star, store, tag, trash, truck, tv, up, user, warn, washer, wifi and x.
  4. A department's submenus become the columns beside it, and a link with the class lanternwp-mega-promo becomes its promotion, as in a mega menu.
  5. Select Save.
