Header and menus

Applies to Theme 0.2.1 Updated 8 October 2026 View as Markdown

The header and footer menus are Navigation menus, edited in the Site Editor.

  1. Go to Appearance → Editor → Navigation. Appearance → LanternWP links there from Set up the menus.
  2. Open a menu and add your pages, product categories and links to it, then save.

On phones the header's menu opens from a menu button. The footer lists your product categories and your customer care and company pages; a demo import writes its own footer menus as the footer's columns.

For a wide menu with columns and a promotion, see Mega menu.

The header's layout

LanternWP has three headers:

  • Header: the logo, the menu and a search field (Common Goods).
  • Header with a search bar: a wide search field between the logo and the account and cart, with the menu below (Voltline).
  • Header with departments: the same, with an All categories button that opens the departments panel (Kilowatt).

To switch, go to Appearance → Editor, select the header, and choose Replace in its toolbar to pick another one. Then select Save.
