Hi, I’d like to create a different menu for the blog posts only, with the following characteristics:
1. if possible, to have different items than the primary menu
2. if possible, to have different colours than the primary menu
3. to be integrated in the header – I think it’s something related with the merge option, but I;m not sure how to use it.
Can someone please explain the exact steps to do so?
The domain where I’d like to use it is: https://archetypeleadership.com/
Thanks so much! -
Hi there,
Yes, it’s possible with some PHP and CSS code. But do you mean blog page or single posts? The code below is written for the single posts.
1. Create a new menu at Appearance > Menus.
2. Add this PHP code:
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function ( $args ) { // if the menu is the primary menu && is a single post if ( 'primary' === $args['theme_location'] && is_single() ) { $args['menu'] = 'My second menu'; //change it to the actual menu name } return $args; } );Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
Once the menu is implemented, let me know what kind of style you are looking for for the menu.

Thanks so much!
This different menu I’m asking about is meant for a single post – do I need another one if I want it for the blog page? -

Hi there,
If you also want to set a specific menu for the blog page, replace the snippet with this one:
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function ( $args ) { // if the menu is the primary menu if ( 'primary' === $args['theme_location'] ) { // Different menu for single posts if ( is_single() ) { $args['menu'] = 'My second menu'; // Menu for single posts } // Different menu for blog page if ( is_home() ) { $args['menu'] = 'Blog menu'; // Menu for blog page - change to your actual menu name } } return $args; } ); -
Thanks! So, where do I insert this code, please? And how can I style the different menus?

You can use one of the methods mentioned in this article:

Can you clarify what specific styles you’d like to apply?
