Register Navigation Menus

The theme registers two WordPress navigation menus, one for the header and the other footer. Developers can override this using a filter hook in a child-theme.

Hook Details

• Hook Type: Filter Hook
• Hook Name: hello_elementor_register_menus
• Default Value: true

The hook controls whether the theme's navigation menus should be registered or not. By default it's set to true, however developers can prevent the theme from registering navigation menus.

Usage

To prevent the theme from registering the default navigation menus, use the following hook in a child-theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'hello_elementor_register_menus', '__return_false' );

To register custom navigation menus, use the WordPress native register_nav_menus() function as follows:

register_nav_menus( [ 'my-header-menu' => esc_html__( 'Header Menu', 'textdomain' ) ] );
register_nav_menus( [ 'my-footer-menu' => esc_html__( 'Footer Menu', 'textdomain' ) ] );
register_nav_menus( [ 'my-mobile-menu' => esc_html__( 'Mobile Menu', 'textdomain' ) ] );
