Been googling for over an hour, and will have to keep googling.

There is no "Menus" option under "Appearance."
This must have been taken out since when you recorded this in June.

Thank you for posting this tutorial. I have a custom full screen nav menu. Currently the menu trigger is a hamberuger menu. How can I change that to text, for example I want to use the word "MENU" as a trigger instead of an icon, or I can create an svg with theword text if required. Thanks

I am using the Astra free menu

Thanks so much for the video. In my case I have radio shows I have done since 1988. I need to create something that will appear on every page. A horizontal menu? I want something simple. Each year has its own page. If I could avoid using plugins that would be great!!!

Thanks again!!!!

I'm trying to create a menu tab called "Services" with a dropdown of each of the services offered, but "Services" should not be clickable. I was able to do this using the second method as "Menus" is not in my Appearance dropdown. The problem I'm experiencing is I can see "Services" in the backend, but not on the front end of the site probably because I'm using Elementor. Have you run across this and do you have a solution? Thanks!

Can you please show me how to remove the current page from the menu?

So, I created a "navigation menu" but it only shows on my "home page". Whenever I click on one of the links and it redirects to let's say the about me page, on the about me page there is no navigation menu. Same for the "workouts page" added to the navigation bar. It redirects, and then no menu. Any ideas why this is happening?
The theme I'm using does not have the menu section under appearance.

[kaffeburk]

Hmm, for beginners, but how pages becomes menus is not explained,

[valmamuir]

The dialogue is too fast which makes it difficult follow.
