Insert GeneratePress primary menu anywhere

GeneratePress is very powerful and I love using the Elements to hook in and create templates for parts of my websites. Something I always felt limited by was creating nice headers in GeneratePress because of the menu.

I dug into the source code a little and managed to write a small snippet that allows you to output the GeneratePress navigation menu anywhere using a shortcode.

Demo

You can watch Kyle’s video on this for a step-by-step walkthrough on how you can use this on your website.

Snippet

Add the code below to functions.php or code snippet plugin.

        add_shortcode( 'gp_nav', 'tct_gp_nav' );
function tct_gp_nav( $atts ) {
    ob_start();
    generate_navigation_position();
    return ob_get_clean();
}
      
Copy

To Use:

Add the shortcode [gp_nav] anywhere in your page or template to render the menu.
