Which menus are there within Newsifier?
Website
Main menu
The main menu is displayed at the top of every page and is the website's main navigation. It is visible on both desktop and mobile. If the number of menu items doesn't quite fit the width, the main menu will be scrollable sideways on mobile phones.
Secondary menu
The Secondary Menu appears at the top of every page, providing an additional navigation option for your website. It’s perfect for sites that need a second navigation bar, helping you neatly organize extra links and improve the overall user experience.
Footer menu
The footer menu appears at the very bottom of every page. It is typically used to add menu items such as Terms and Conditions, About Us, Contact, and Privacy.
Footer-sitemap
The footer sitemap is also displayed in the footer (above the footer menu). It can be used to display links to the website's main pages. A good footer sitemap is vital for SEO. It creates many important backlinks from the front page to the website's main pages.
To create the lists in the footer as shown below, add a menu item (for example, "Tournaments") and set its 'Target' to 'none'. Next, create a new regular menu item and place it as a sub-item under the previously created menu item.
Mobile Menu
The mobile menu is only visible when you view the website on a mobile device. When the visitor uses the website on their mobile device, the website switches to mobile mode. In this mobile mode, the main menu at the top of the page is still visible at the top of the screen (and becomes scrollable when it doesn't fit in width).
But in addition to this scrollable menu at the top of the page, a so-called hamburger menu (the three horizontal bars) also appears in the top left.
Mobile app
App main
This is the bottom menu of the app. It is recommended to put a maximum of 2 extra menu items here as by default the menu items 'Home' and 'More' are positioned here.
App extra
This is the menu that you go to when you click on 'More' on the app main menu.
