This is done in WP-admin -> Appearance -> Menus.

There are several pre-named menus:

  • M01, M02,… M06: can be custommized for the needs of your website
  • S01, S02 and S03: ” Sandbox” menus reserved for testing. Do not use in public posts or pages.

You can create additional menus as needed. See in the example below on how to do this.

Menu styles

Header and footer menu styles can only be changed by Administrators or Expert Editors in Cornerstone PRO.

For Block Menus you can choose between a few styles, such as:

  • List, List + icons
  • Bar, Bar +icons
  • Buttons, Buttons + icons

Menu links to IDs

To point a menu item to a specific ID in a post, make it a Custom Link. Use relative URLs (starting with https:/) as shown in the screenshot hereunder.
If you don’t and you have several items in the menu pointing to different places (IDs) in the current post, they will all be highlighted.
