How to Add a Hamburger Icon Toggle to Divi’s Menu Module on Desktop

If you’re building your header inside Divi, there are quite a few ways to go about it. As a matter of fact, you can get an overview on header types and tutorials here. Now, in today’s tutorial, we’re adding another option to your list. We’ll show you how to add a hamburger icon toggle to DIvi’s Menu Module. This hamburger icon appears, by default, on smaller screen sizes already, but in this tutorial, we’ll make sure a hamburger icon appears on desktop as well. When clicking the hamburger icon, all menu items will appear in a horizontal order next to the icon. This gives a minimal look and feel to your header while adding interaction as well. You will be able to download the template JSON file for free as well!

Let’s get to it.

1. Create New Global Header Template

Go to Divi Theme Builder

Start by going to the Divi Theme Builder in the backend of your WordPress website. Once there, click on “Add Global Header”.

Add New Global Header

A dropdown menu will appear. To start building from scratch, continue by selecting “Build Global Header”.

2. Create Global Header Design

Section Settings

Background Color

Once inside the template editor, it’s time to start building the header design. You’ll notice there’s a section there already. Open the section’s settings and add a background color.

• Background Color: #f6f9fb

Spacing

Move on to the section’s design tab and remove all default top and bottom padding.

• Top Padding: 0px
• Bottom Padding: 0px

Add New Row

Column Structure

Continue by adding a new row using the following column structure:

Sizing

Without adding modules yet, open the row settings, go to the design tab and modify the max width in the sizing settings.

• Max Width: 1280px

Spacing

Modify the top and bottom padding in the spacing settings next.

• Top Padding: 5px
• Bottom Padding: 5px

Add Menu Module to Column

Select Menu

Next, add a Menu Module to the row’s column and select a dynamic menu of your choice.

Upload Logo

Upload a logo.

Remove Background Color

Then, remove the module’s default white background color.

Menu Text Settings

Move on to the module’s design tab and change the menu text settings accordingly:

• Menu Font: Poppins
• Menu Font Weight: Semi Bold
• Menu Text Color: #003e51
• Menu Text Size: 16px
• Text Alignment: Right

Then, go to the sizing settings and assign a logo max width.

• Logo Max Width: 50px

Spacing

Remove the module’s default bottom margin too.

• Bottom Margin: 0px

Turn Section Sticky

Now that our menu is in place, we’ll turn the section sticky as well. Open the section settings, go to the advanced tab and apply the following sticky settings:

• Sticky Position: Stick to Top
• Offset From Surrounding Sticky Elements: Yes
• Transition Default and Sticky Styles: Yes

Sticky Background Color

Modify the section’s background color in a sticky state next.

• Background Color: #ffffff

Sticky Box Shadow

Apply a box shadow to the section as well.

• Default Shadow Color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
• Sticky Shadow Color: rgba(0,0,0,0.04)

3. Add Hamburger Icon Toggle to Menu Module

Add CSS ID to Menu Module

In the next part of the tutorial, we’ll focus on creating the desktop hamburger icon toggle icon. First, open the Menu Module’s settings, go to the advanced tab and assign a CSS ID.

• CSS ID: divi-menu

Add Code Module Below Menu Module

Then, add a Code Module below the Menu Module.

Add Script & Style Tags

We’ll be using some CSS and JQuery code. To prepare for that, we’ll add some style and script tags.

Add CSS Code

We’ll paste the following lines of CSS code between the style tags:

.toggle-icon:after {
content: "\61";
font-size: 32px;
font-family: ETmodules !important;
color: #003e51;
position: absolute;
top: 26px;
right: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}

#divi-menu .et_pb_menu__menu>nav {
margin-right: 38px;
visibility: hidden;
opacity: 0;
  
-webkit-transition: .1s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: .1s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: .1s ease-in-out;
transition: .1s ease-in-out;
  
transform: translateY(50%);  
}
  
.reveal-menu-items {
opacity: 1 !important;
visibility: visible !important;
transform: translateY(0%) !important;
}
  
.icon-switch:after {
content: '\4d';
font-size: 32px;
font-family: ETmodules !important;
color: #003e51;
position: absolute;
top: 26px;
right: 0;
cursor: pointer;    
}

Add JQuery

Add JQuery Opening Code Lines

Up next, we’ll have the JQuery code. Add the following lines of JQuery code between the script tags:

jQuery(function($){
$(document).ready(function(){

});
});

Create Variables

Create some variables next.

var toggleIcon = $('<div class="toggle-icon"></div>');
var desktopMenu = $('#divi-menu .et_pb_menu__menu>nav');

Place Toggle Icon Inside Menu Module

Then, place the toggle icon variable inside the Menu Module using this following code line:

toggleIcon.insertAfter(desktopMenu);

Add Click Function

We’re adding a click function as well.

toggleIcon.click(function(){
	desktopMenu.toggleClass('reveal-menu-items');
  $(this).toggleClass('icon-switch');
});

4. Save Divi Theme Builder Changes

Now that everything is in place, the only thing left to do is save all Divi Theme Builder changes and view the outcome!

Final Thoughts

In this post, we’ve shown you how to get creative with your Divi header inside the Divi Theme Builder. More specifically, we’ve shown you how to add a hamburger menu icon toggle on desktop as well. By default, a hamburger icon is part of the tablet and mobile experience, but we’re extending this to desktop as well. When clicking the toggle icon, the menu items will appear in a horizontal order, which gives this a minimal look and feel. You were able to download the template JSON file for free as well!
