Am trying to create 2 separate menus (Food and Cocktails) that are also in the Main Navigation. How do I do this as all items showing on both pages?
Juanfra Aldasoro June 23, 2015 at 2:19 pmHey there,
Thanks for writing, I hope everything is going well.
The best solution for this would be creating two parent Food categories. That would be “Food″ & “Cocktails″. For each one of those you can create subcategories, for example for Food: starters, main and dessert. Then you add the food items assigning them to the specific food category you wish.
Since “Food″ & “Cocktails″ are food categories you don’t need to create any pages for them, they’re created automatically by the theme.
If you visit your page http://yourwpsite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=menu-category&post_type=menu – you’ll see all the menu categories that you’d created. You’ll able to create more, edit or delete. When you hover any category you’ll see that there’s a link that says “View”. If you click that link, you’ll be sent to the Food menu category template.
Over the theme options, you can select to display your food menu category template with a grid or list style.
Then, when creating your WordPress navigation menu (check Appearance > Menus ), you can add any “Menu Category” (in your case: “Food″ and “Cocktails″).
Best,

Can you tell me by steps…
Juanfra Aldasoro June 26, 2015 at 7:22 pmHello,
Thanks for the follow up.
The steps would be the following:
1) Add two new food categories: “Food″ & “Cocktails″. You can do this from “Food Menu > Menu Categories”.
2) Add menu items. Assign them to those categories, as you need.
3) If you visit your page http://yourwpsite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=menu-category&post_type=menu – you’ll see all the menu categories that you’d created. When you hover any category you’ll see that there’s a link that says “View”. If you click that link, you’ll be sent to the Food menu category template.
That is the separated menu template for each category.
Over the theme options, you can select to display your food menu category template with a grid or list style.
4) If you want to include them in your site navigation menu. In “Appearance > Menus”, you can add any “Menu Category” (in your case: “Food″ and “Cocktails″).
If you don’t get to see the “Menu Categories” over there, look at the right top part of the screen, and click where it says “Screen Options”, then tick where it says “Menu Categories”. You should see the box with the menu categories in the left part of the screen.
Best,
Juan.
