Primary Menu
The primary menu is the navigation bar located at the top of your website, which typically includes links to your main pages or categories.
To get started, please navigate to the WordPress Dashboard and click on Appearance>Customize>Header Builder> Primary Menu and head over to the design tab.
Scroll down to the Font Section and click on the pencil icon next to the Menu Font option.
This will open the options to change the appearance of the primary menu such as Font-Family, Font-Weight, Font-Size, and Font-Decoration.
Secondary Menu
If your website is using a secondary menu to display a second set of menu items, you can simply navigate to Appearance>Customize>Header Builder>Secondary Menu and head over to the design tab.
Similar to the primary menu, you will also have to scroll down to the Fonts Sections and edit the typography of the secondary menu by clicking on the pencil icon next to the Menu Fonts.
Sub-Menu (Pro-Feature)
A submenu is a secondary menu that is accessed through a main menu item. It typically appears when you hover over or click on a main menu item and contains a list of additional options that are related to the main menu item.
This is a premium feature available with the Astra Pro Addon plugin. To use these pro features, you need to have the Astra theme along with the Astra Pro Addon installed on your website. Check out our pricing page to know more about the Astra Pro Addon.
