Header Widgets

The contents of header widgets appear at the very top of the page. You can choose to place navigation menu(s), social media links, or a search widget here.

Top Bar - Right

There is one widget area designated for the header widgets: it's called Top Bar - Right.

On our demo, this widget area is shows two components: Social Menu and Search. To set them up, you can go to Appearance > Widgets then drag and drop relevant widgets into the Top Bar area. 

The top header widget area called  Top Bar - Right is capable of handling any sort of widget. It can be a Custom Navigation Menu, Text, or Search, for example.

If Custom Menu / Navigation Menu widget is assigned with a menu called “Social”, it will automatically show social media icons.

More information on setting up social media links can be found   here.
