Wovie
Menus
The four menu locations of Wovie: the header menu with its submenus, the link columns of the footer, your social links with their icons, and the links next to the copyright.
Overview
Wovie uses WordPress menus for the navigation of your site. Create them in Appearance › Menus, or in Appearance › Customize › Menus, and assign each one to a location:
| Location | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Menu header | The main menu, at the top of every page |
| Footer columns | The columns of links in the footer |
| Footer social links | Your social networks, next to the footer logo |
| Footer bottom links | A few links next to the copyright, such as your terms and privacy policy |

Menu header
The main menu of your site. It has two levels: an item with sub-items opens a dropdown on computers, and an accordion in the menu of phones.
- Too many items: the menu stays on one line. The links that do not fit go into a More dropdown at the end, and come back as the window grows. Items with sub-items always stay visible.
- Without a menu: until you assign one, the header shows links to your movies, TV shows and collections.
- On phones, the menu opens from the button at the top of the screen.
Good items for this menu are your archives, a Genres item with your main genres as sub-items, and your collections. See Archives and filters.

Footer columns
Each top-level item is the title of a column, and its sub-items are the links of that column:
Explore ← column title (top-level item)
Movies ← link
TV Shows ← link

Contact
Request a title- The link of a column title is not used: give it any address, such as
#. - A column without sub-items is not shown.
- The footer shows up to 7 columns.
- On phones, each column opens and closes with its title.

Footer social links
Add one item for each of your profiles, with the address of the profile. Wovie picks the icon from the address: Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, GitHub, Google Play, the App Store and many more. An email address (mailto:) gets an envelope, and an address it does not recognize gets a generic link icon.
The text of each item shows next to its icon, and links to other sites open in a new tab.
Icons with CSS classes
You can choose the icon of an item with Font Awesome classes, in the CSS Classes field of the item:
- Footer social links: write the classes of the icon, such as
fa-brands fa-mastodon. They replace the icon picked from the address. - Footer columns: write
fas-beforeand the icon, such asfas-before fa-crown, to show it before the text.
If you do not see CSS Classes, turn it on in Screen Options, at the top right of Appearance › Menus. Find the names of the icons at fontawesome.com.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| The header shows Movies, TV Shows and Collections instead of my menu | Assign your menu to Menu header in Manage Locations |
| Some items of the header are inside More | They do not fit in one line. Shorten their names or move some into sub-items |
| A column of the footer does not appear | It needs at least one sub-item. Only the first 7 columns are shown |
| A social link shows a generic icon | Wovie does not recognize its address. Write the icon classes in CSS Classes |
| I do not see the CSS Classes field | Turn it on in Screen Options |
