Main Navigation
Main navigation area includes “logo-toolbar”, “search”, “menu” positions.
Logo-toolbar
If require to insert the logo in the navigation area, then use the position “logo-toolbar”.
Search
Search is special sidebar for Search widget. It would be better if you will not insert here other widgets.
Menu
To tell your theme what should be rendered as your main navigation, we need to setup a menu in Wordpress and assign it as our main navigation.
First of all, you need to create a new menu and add your menu items. For detailed instructions, see the WordPress documentation. In this example we add all existing pages by default and remove one that we do not want.
Now we just need to select the freshly created menu to be used as the main navigation on our site. Hit the Manage locations tab on the top and select the menu from the dropdown.
In addition to the menu, you can add more widgets in Menu position, but All widgets in this position will be dropdown.
Menu on small devices
The default menu will be hidden on small devices. You can and should use the offcanvas position to have a mobile friendly version of your menu. The offcanvas element can be toggled from a menu icon. You can also publish other widgets in this position, but a menu is the most likey thing you'll want in any case.
You can create any number of menus you like and publish them as a Custom Menu widget in the Widget area of the Wordpress backend. You can assign that widget to any position you like.
