    (1) That’s right, it’s purely cosmetic and not for SEO/crawlers.

    (2) For the ABOUT page in the top menu link:
    I just checked the NAVIGATION in V3 and can see the exact settings as seen on your screenshot. So, I toggled the DROPDOWN to ON and added the line:
    <li><a href=“/about> About </a></li>
    Nothing appeared on the page.
    Is this because of what you mentioned about V3 being different to V2?

    (3) Sudonix.dev: You mean access to the ACP to see how you’ve set it all up and I can just mirror those for my own site? If so, YES PLEASE! That would be super helpful for me. Thank you!

    Be careful what you alter, as you’ve changed the behaviour of the categories page so now it does this

    The way this works is as below

    You drag the custom route to the navbar

    Select an icon

    Enable the dropdown, and add the code

    Save

    97964825-4a17-4a89-9afd-c69fe08c42b0-image.png

    Reload the page, and you’ll see an additional menu created

    No, an account that has access to the site so you can see how it is laid out. No access to the ACP is granted, because it isn’t needed.

    @phenomlab I shall go through this tomorrow and check what the issue on Categories is about, although I can’t see any issue at my end on Chrome and Safari.

    By the way, how do you upload a full-length image/photo onto a page like what you have on the ABOUT page?

    You won’t do now as I rectified it 🙂

    @phenomlab Oh wow! Thanks again, so much! I can see the page menu in the “down” arrow on the left navigation bar now.

    How do I get that one small tagline bar up at the top, perhaps next to the logo, as its a white blank space, since the menu is to the left now? I can create a JPG/PNG image of my statement which can be loaded there. If that’s a bad idea, then something I can type up there.

    @mventures I think I know what you’re after, but could you explain and clarify? Perhaps a mock-up sketch would help.

    @phenomlab Here is an example of what I meant:

    au header example.jpg

    Basically, having the tagline in the header, where the logo is.
    The tagline can be a JPEG banner that I can create and upload or it can be a text that can appear there.

    @mventures You could achieve this effect with a :psuedo CSS class. Let me have a look at this

    @mventures I forked this into it’s own topic as it deviates from the original thread.

    @mventures How’s this ?

    b7ecc749-3019-49cb-bd62-db573472c960-image.png

    To achieve this look

    1. Create a Brand Header widget

    d7e5bbca-0135-4967-983b-5c3bfe489723-image.png

    Save

    1. Go to admin/appearance/customise#custom-css
    2. Add the below CSS
    [data-widget-area="brand-header"] {
        display: contents;
    }
    .tagline {
        position: relative;
        margin-left: 10px;
        margin-top: 20px;
    }
    

    Save

    @phenomlab That’s awesome! Keen to give that a try right now! Thank you 🙂 I shall be back.

    UPDATE: It worked 🙂 Thank you again. I added a few sentences and had to do a hard refresh for everything to appear and its exactly how I need it to be.
    Was that BRAND HEADER widget always there or did you create it just now??

    @mventures The brand widget is part of the Harmony theme, so it already exists.

    Also, I added another CSS class so that the tagline is hidden on mobiles. With all that text, it’ll wrap and take half of the mobile screen estate, which will look awful.

    @media (max-width: 576px) {
    .tagline {
        display: none;
    }
    }

    @phenomlab Sorry I am back on this one. I just noticed on the desktop a blue bar appears across the header region when you visit any of the categories. Does it have to do with your CSS class insertion? It doesn’t appear on the homepage but the channel pages only.

    UPDATE: That blue bar has now disappeared and I did nothing. Perhaps, you @phenomlab ?

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system. I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.
