Navigation menu on all subpages
-
Hello! How do I get the exact same navigation menu on all subpages on my website, without manually adding it to each subpage?

Hi @ver09ka
Since that is a feature determined by the theme you use, you can either custom code that functionality if your plan allows for custom code or you can find a theme with a fixed menu.
Here are a few: https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/fixed-menuI hope this helps.

Hi,
If you’re referring to a WordPress.com site, then a site navigation menu will typically display on all pages, including child pages. Is it a WordPress.com site?

A site navigation menu will ordinarily display on every page and post on the site, regardless of the theme, unless we’re talking about a menu displayed in a widget, such as the Navigation Menu Widget. There may be exceptions that I’m unaware of. What’s the site address (URL), and the theme?
-
The site is: https://testsite847696091.wordpress.com/
Note that now I added the navigation menu without using the navigation menu widget (I think, I added the top one from the editor and the bottom one from the customizer), but it still does not display on all pages.
The theme name is ‘Hever’.

Hi, and thanks for the additional information. If the menus on your homepage are created by Navigation Blocks inserted into the page content, then they would only appear on that page.
That’s not how the site menus that display on all pages and posts that I was referring to are created. See the Site Menus support page for information on how to create, customize, display, and otherwise manage site navigation menus.

I have now figured out the navigation menu, thank you so much for your help.
I also wonder: If I pay for wordpress, could I then edit the whole webpage with my own custom css and html regardless of what theme I have? Could I edit anything in any way I want? In the theme ‘Hever’ there are a few things I’d like to tweak, such as the placement of the navigation menu and the styling of the headings.

On our premium plan you can use custom CSS code to modify the design of your theme, but that’s restricted to adding CSS code in a separate stylesheet, and you can’t modify any existing CSS directly. That custom CSS stylesheet loads last, so anything you add there will override any existing styling on the site.
Our Business Plan will allow you to install your own custom theme, or create a child theme. If you want to create your own design for your site, that’s the route you’ll need to follow.
Sites created in WordPress are not written in HTML, they’re written in PHP, which generates the HTML loaded in the browser. So to modify the HTML, you’ll need to modify the theme’s PHP files.
Note that we provide only limited support for CSS changes, and we don’t provide support for creating child themes at all.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Thanks for the reply regarding the CSS/Styling.
If I was to implement an online store on my website, how could I go about it? What the store needs is the possibility to sort products by category, to have a limit on number of the same item that can be purchased (so the customer can’t buy more than what is actually in stock), and a click&collect possibility would be great as well but it’s not 100% necessary.
I have looked at WooCommerce, but it is still a little confusing as to how it all works. How do I get a trial run on WooCommerce?

Everything you mentioned could be achieved with WooCommerce. The core software is free, but on WordPress.com, you’d need plan Business to install any plugin so, one option is to just upgrade and try it out. You’ll have 14 days to see how it works, cancel, and refund if you decide it’s not for you (just don’t register any custom domains just yet, as those can only be refunded if canceled during the first 96h).
You can also purchase plan Business monthly and have a whole month of trying and testing.
Lastly, you can create a local version of your WordPress site and test it there. This would probably be more complex if you don’t have experience with self-hosting.If you’d like to learn more about WooCommerce, before committing, register to our Thursday’s WooCommerce webinars.
