Divi Tutorial – Custom layout fullscreen menu

Divi Tutorial – Custom layout fullscreen menu

Here’s a cool way of making the full screen menu much much much cooler. With a custom section!

You can pretty much make your own screen.

Here’s what it will look like:

 

So this one’s fun.

You’ll need to gather the following ingredients.

What you need

1. Child theme. Get them here.
2. A better full screen menu. Get that here.
3. A way to convert Divi sections to shortcodes. You can get the code here.

(additional note: If you want to make your own child theme, use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/child-theme-configurator/ )

The next step: making the layout

Once you’ve done the above, now you can really get into it.

This is the fun part.

Make your own global section in the Divi library.

Do whatever you want with it.

Save it, and go back to the library page, and you’ll see a shortcode for the section you just made.

Next..

edit the header

Around line 184, you’ll see this:

<div class="et_pb_fullscreen_nav_container">
<?php
	$slide_nav = '';
	$slide_menu_class = 'et_mobile_menu';

	$slide_nav = wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu', 'container' => '', 'fallback_cb' => '', 'echo' => false, 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
	$slide_nav .= wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu', 'container' => '', 'fallback_cb' => '', 'echo' => false, 'items_wrap' => '%3$s' ) );
?>

<ul id="mobile_menu_slide" class="<?php echo esc_attr( $slide_menu_class ); ?>">

<?php
	if ( '' == $slide_nav ) :
?>
		<?php if ( 'on' == et_get_option( 'divi_home_link' ) ) { ?>
			<li <?php if ( is_home() ) echo( 'class="current_page_item"' ); ?>><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>"><?php esc_html_e( 'Home', 'Divi' ); ?></a></li>
		<?php }; ?>

		<?php show_page_menu( $slide_menu_class, false, false ); ?>
		<?php show_categories_menu( $slide_menu_class, false ); ?>
<?php
	else :
		echo( $slide_nav );
	endif;
?>

</ul>
</div>

Delete everything from the opening php tag to the ul closing. So it’ll look like this:

<div class="et_pb_fullscreen_nav_container">

</div>

Then add the new shortcode so it’ll look like this:

<div class="et_pb_fullscreen_nav_container">
	<?php 
		echo do_shortcode('[ai_layout_sc id="58"]');
	?>
</div>

(note: the id number inside the shortcode will be different because it’s your own section.)

… and…

You’re done! woot!

Note: To take out the search bar on top of the full screen menu, check here:

About 10 lines starting from line 151, you’ll find:


<form role="search" method="get" class="et-search-form" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
	<?php
		printf( '<input type="search" class="et-search-field" placeholder="%1$s" value="%2$s" name="s" title="%3$s" />',
			esc_attr__( 'Search &hellip;', 'Divi' ),
			get_search_query(),
			esc_attr__( 'Search for:', 'Divi' )
		);
	?>
	<button type="submit" id="searchsubmit_header"></button>
</form>

Take that part out, and you’re done.

New tutorials

Why no ads?

Hi, I'm PK, and I maintain and publish content on this site for two reasons.

  1. To give back to the community. I learned so much from people's tutorials and StackOverflow that I wanted to contribute and help others.

  2. To provide a more structured learning experience. People struggle to find the course that guides them from start to finish, based off of real life experience, and my courses provide that.

The only "ads" I have here are for my own courses, and maybe an affiliate link, but that's it. They fund the website resources and provide more motivation for me to produce better content.

Any bit of interest helps. Even sharing with your friends, suggesting my courses to your developer or designer, or subscribing to my YT channel, or joining our Discord. Thanks and I'll see you around!
