Let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Header-in-the-Crocoblock-library.png\" alt=\"header in Crocoblock library\">\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using <strong>Elementor Pro<\/strong> version, you can build a header template within the header added with <strong>Elementor Pro<\/strong>. To add a header template, open<strong> <em>Elementor &gt; My templates<\/em><\/strong> and here click <strong>Header<\/strong> tab and hit <strong>Add New Header<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also open one of the existing header templates for editing by hovering over the needed header template to which you want to add a menu, and clicking the <strong>Edit with Elementor<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/header-tab.png\" alt=\"Header tab in Crocoblock library\">\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are redirected to <strong>Elementor<\/strong> page builder.

Select a menu you\u2019ve created earlier in the dropdown. E.g., in the <strong>Mega Menu<\/strong> widget you can select the created menu in the <strong>Select Menu<\/strong> dropdown option. The same dropdown is available in the <strong>Content<\/strong> block of the <strong>Nav Menu<\/strong> widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Selecting-a-menu-in-the-widget.png\" alt=\"Selecting a menu in the widget\">\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to style the appearance of the menu according to your tastes and needs.Then, click the <strong>Publish<\/strong> button to save the changes.
