Editing your navigation menus

- Top Navigation Menu = Menu at the top left of the page
- Split Navigation - Left = Menu that displays to the left of the header
- Split Navigation - Right = Menu that display to the right of the header
- Mobile Navigation Menu = Menu that displays on mobile devices
You will also have custom navigation menus for your footer, sidebar, and Instagram landing page.
Add, remove, or change social icons
Go to Appearance > Widgets. There are social icons widgets in the following widget areas: Primary Sidebar, Nav Social Icons, Footer Social Icons, Instagram Landing Page, and Mobile Menu Widgets.

Instagram landing page
The link to your Instagram landing page is your website URL + /instagram. Example: https://yourwebsite.com/instagram
The Instagram landing page is very easy to update and change as needed. To add/change/remove menu items, go to Appearance > Menu > Instagram Menu. To edit anything else on the page (i.e. the social icons, or if you want to add text, etc), go to Appearance > Widgets > Instagram Landing Page.

Coming Soon Page
On your installation form, you were given the option to have a coming soon page installed on your site.
