Menu:

Using the “secondary” menu doesn’t address the issue. In the template design, secondary menu persists.
Secondary menu basically puts whatever page/post selected on the home page.

What I’m looking for is the ability to click on a primary menu (e.g. aesthetic services) and THEN it shows a secondary menu.

Hey ya — after digging through the UX, I’ve enabled what the template supports. Namely a secondary menu on the homepage and a sidebar menu that has navigation on the sidebar. Not a great solution because when new pages are created … menus have to be updated…everytime.

So…. this is really a feature request so that the Clean Mag Template is more … well magazine like. 🙂

For example, visit https://www.nytimes.com/section/arts

ASK 1 – Auto-generated sub-menus based on Parent Page.
you’ll see an auto-generated menu for in the Art Section that has Books, Dance etc.
This menu is auto generated based on the parent page of the section.
Ability to have a nav menu apply to only what’s in that section. See NYT example under Arts. Which has various types of “arts” … Television, Music Dance

ASK 2 – When new page created under parent, option for nav menu’s to automatically update.
Menu Manual Updates:
In the current template design every time a new page is added the menu’s need updated or default to one section. Magazine designs dont’ have one primary section with content. As in the NYT example, all sections get new content.

The current template has a feature to “add newly created pages” BUT it doesn’t trigger the creator to determine which section. It just defaults to one parent / section where all pages are added. That doesn’t work well as most sights have sections like a magazine does.
