Metropolis: Recreating the Demo - Header

Your Guide to Recreating Elements of the Metropolis Theme for WordPress


Header Section

Here is the widget breakdown for the Header section:

  • Gantry Logo
  • Gantry Divider
  • Gantry Menu

The header section remains the same across the entire demo site. For this reason, it exists in the default Widget Override menu. It is also a fairly simple section to set up.

Gantry Logo

The first thing you will need to do is click and drag the Gantry Logo widget from the Available Widgets area of the Widgets menu to the appropriate section. Once this is done, the logo should appear in the upper-left area of the front page as it does in the demo. You can further customize this logo by following the instructions in our [FAQ][faq].

Gantry Divider

This widget tells WordPress to start a new widget column beginning with the widget placed directly below the divider in the section.

Gantry Menu

The Gantry Menu widget should be set to match your site's main menu as it serves as the primary menu widget for the entire site. You can customize this menu by navigating to Administration -> Appearance -> Menus and creating or modifying your selected menu there.

Here is a breakdown of the widget options for this menu widget. Any options not present in this breakdown are left at default and should not be adjusted.
