Advanced Technique
Creating a custom header is an advanced technique and requires familiarity with html.
It is possible to replace the normal top logo and navigational area of your site with something that is custom designed.
Please note that a custom header does fall outside of MemberGate's support offering, so we are unable to support custom headers. Also, when using a custom header the automated ability to add and remove items from the top nav bar through the control panel is not available. Any changes to the top nav bar would require editing the custom header HTML coding.
The Custom Nav Panels Option is ONLY available when using the Legacy Theme. If any other theme is selected, this option will not be available in the control panel.
Custom Nav Panels design settings can be edited under Appearance Custom Nav Panels
