Menu Top

It is one of the header components, taking the form of icons in the top right corner of the website. You can enable up to six Top Menu icons. Each of them has individual settings, allowing you to apply different colors to each icon. In this article, you will learn how to enable or disable the Top Menu and how to edit it.

The Top Menu in CMS 4media allows for displaying additional icons that can create, for example, primary or secondary menus on your news website.

The icons are prominently placed and permanently pinned there, so you can take advantage of the Top Menu and create shortcuts to the most frequently visited categories by users or include links to subpages such as "About Us," "Contact," "Advertising" etc.
