    Hi Team,

    I have 8-10 menu items so that in one DDR menu(Horizontal in header) I can put some of the important menu items  and in the second DDR Menu(Vertical) all in list format can be put under hamburger. Please let me know if you have any of the links or resources through which I can get an overview how two menus can be added in single theme.
    Looking foreword to your guidance and support.

    Thanks!!

      It's actually quite easy. Once you have mastered creating a single menu and putting it in your skin file, just create a second one and add it where you want to be.

      To get a start, you might want to play around with the module version of DDR. Drop the module on a page an configure it. And, because it's a module, it will be easy to adjust the menu settings. The menu settings will define the menu structure and which pages appear. CSS is used to style the menus.

      You'll probably want to check out the documentation at https://docs.dnncommunity...s/ddrmenu/index.html

      When you want to use multiple DDR menus in a skin, it's really just as simple as putting multiple dnn:menu tags in the skin file, each with its separate configuration.

          Thanks Joe, again a small question came to my mind, Since I'll be using two ddr menus is it possible to handle some of the menu items is shown in first one and in the other one all menu items should be shown. I tried by switching off "display in menu " from the page setting (Page > Details section in dnn through persona bar)for one of the menu item but it has reflected on both the DDR Menus. Can you suggest what is the possible Solution to handle this hurdle. Thanks for Your Kind Gesture Joe.

            DDR has a number of options that control which pages are included in the menu. Go to https://docs.dnncommunity.org/ and search for DDR Menu to find them.

            In particular you'll want to check IncludeNodes and ExcludeNodes.

            Also, there is a module version of DDR that can be installed on a test page. You and use the module's settings to experiment.

              Dear Joe,
              Warm Wishes!
              That's right, I have gone through the DNN Docs but was unable to find such that if using two ddr menus then how to show some items out of all items in one and all items in other,"https://docs.dnncommunity.org/content/tutorials/themes/theme-objects/ddrmenu/index.html#choosing-pages-to-show-in-the-menu". The above is the link where I found which pages to show in menu, but I have to work on different scenario as mentioned above. Is it feasible or not . Also my menu is being created one in all thats the reason it is reflecting in both the menus. Please let me know if any solution is possible. Thanks for always showing your Kind Gesture.

                Did you see the IncludeNodes and ExcludeNodes options? Did you dig down to the Reference Guide. Have you experimented with two different sets of options for the two menus?

                Those would all be good items to look at.

                If you use IncludeNodes, you can literally create a menu from a list of pages. But, the other options allow you to build the list other ways.
