The Uptown theme supports three navigation menus: the Primary Navigation Menu, the Secondary Navigation Menu, and Header Navigation Menu.

  • Primary Navigation Menu = The scrolling menu at the very top of the page.
  • Secondary Navigation Menu = The menu underneath your site title or logo. This menu is not shown in the demo and would only be used in place of the Header Right menu if want to center-align your site title.
  • Header Navigation Menu = The menu to the right of the header.
