Hello. I recently licensed the pro version in order to get access to the ASM Navigation block. When I insert an ASM Navigation block in a page, there is no choice of navigation to use. There is a Title field in the block settings, but no drop-down for choosing the navigation to use. When I view the page, the ASM Navigation block does not appear. I guess that makes sense since I was unable to choose the navigation from which the block would get its information. Am I missing something obvious? The settings pane doesn’t look like that in the documentation.
The site is part of a multisite setup running WordPress 6.5.3.
Hi Peter,
I took a look at your site and it appears the site may be using Navigation blocks as menus instead of the WordPress custom menus.
If this is the case, it would explain why no menus are available to select as the Navigation widget works on WordPress custom menus. If this is not the case and you have some WordPress custom menus defined, please let me know and I will investigate further.
Have a great night!
Hello.
Most modern themes, including Twenty Twenty-Four, are block themes and don’t provide a way to edit the old-style custom menus. What do you suggest in this case in order to get a custom menu defined that will work with ASM Pro Navigation blocks? Thanks!
Hi Peter,
You may add support for custom menus to any theme by adding the following code to your active theme’s functions.php file.
This will enable the Menus area on the
twentytwentyfourtheme or any other theme.Hope this helps!
Thanks! That was the key. I tell ya. For some reason that is not easy info to find. I’ve already googled for ‘enable menus wordpress theme’, and didn’t come up with this info. WP must not want folks to use the old menus anymore. Just a guess.
Thanks again.
