How to use and customize the layout

Once you import the JSON layout in the Divi builder, you will find separate sections for each menu style.

Some design settings can be edited directly in the module settings, while others may require tinkering with CSS code. We have listed possible customization options alongside each Menu Style preview for easy reference.

There are two Code modules included below each Menu module. Both are required for the menu to work and display correctly. Optionally, you can move the code from here to a different location, as explained below.

If you wish to use the Vertical Menu module globally (in your Footer, for example), you can move the JavaScript code from the Style #n Code – JavaScript Code Module to Theme Options -> Integration tab.

Copy and paste the entire contents of the code, including opening and closing <script> tag.

If needed, modify the custom CSS code located inside the Style #n Code – CSS Code Module. You can copy the CSS code and paste it inside your Theme Options -> General tab Custom CSS, or inside your child theme stylesheet.

When moving the CSS code, only copy the code from between the opening and closing <style> tag.

Which one is your favorite?

So that brings us to the end. A big thanks to those who downloaded the free Divi layout. Hopefully, you will find those vertical menus easy to use and helpful in making your projects stand out. Comment down below to tell us which menu is your favorite!

Also, don’t forget about the 5-Day CSS & Divi Challenge. It’s there to help build up your CSS skills, which are pretty crucial for creating a functional website that will stand out of the Divi crowd.

    Hi there Ania, this is amazing and my favourite menu is #2. The only thing I am having issues with is that is doesn’t seem to work on WoCommerce archive pages.

    It works fine on normal pages, but not archive pages.

    If you would like to check it out use CA24 for access.

    Thanks again for the awesome freebie!

      Hello Sam,

      Well, yes, sometimes CPT pages require a bit more specific CSS selectors. I would love to help you check this, but I don’t see any menu with this styling when I visit the URL you provided. Can you point me in the right direction?

        Thanks so much for the quick response Ania!

        If you click on PRODUCTS, it then opens a sidebar menu the lists PAINT BRUSHES, PAINT ROLLER COVERS, PAINT ACCESSORIES. The shop level page is perfect and I am just working on the CSS for that, but when you click on any of the sub-menus, it reverts to the standard drop-down setup rather than the nested. I had assumed it was a JS thing, but maybe that’s not right from what you are saying?

      • Ania RomaÅ„ska

        No, it’s not a JS thing, it’s a CSS specificity issue. Please try adding #page-conrtainer #et-boc parent IDs at the begining of each CSS selector, as shown on this screenshot: https://share.cleanshot.com/dLJFJ6sN
        It should fix the problem.

        Perfect Ania, thanks so much for your help, it’s much appreciated.

    These are really good thank you Ania. Would there be a way to use this to style the drop down menu of the main navigation menu?
