Menus & Widgets

  • Primary — the primary location.

Create menus under Appearance → Menus. If you do not assign a menu, the theme falls back to listing your pages automatically — useful on a new site, but you will want a real menu before launch.

Widget areas

  • Header Area
  • Main Sidebar
  • Footer 1
  • Footer 2
  • Footer 3
  • Footer 4

Modern Magazine has a Header Area widget region above the menu, which is unusual for this range — it is a good place for an advertisement or a search box. Each of the four homepage content sections pulls from a category you choose in the Customizer.

The theme includes page templates for different layouts:

  • Default — content with the sidebar on the right.
  • Left Sidebar — sidebar on the left.
  • Full Width — no sidebar.
  • Home Page — the designed homepage.

Set these in the Page Attributes → Template box when editing a page.
