Hello,
I have used a nested Nav menu as a global element but when I try to use that element on another page, it doesn’t display as I have created it, it just displays a different menu.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
Hi Soracle,
Thanks for your report!
The nestable nav menu cannot/should not be saved as a global element, as it is a nestable element. The same applies to nestable tabs, nestable accordion, container, block, … and so on.
When you save an element as a global element you save the selected element only. Its children are not saved as those are different elements. If a container contains other elements, and you’d like to save all of them, you have to save it as a template.

Thanks for the quick response.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. So if I save it as a template, and then edit that template on a page, will it update elsewhere?
Yes, if you add the nestable nav using the template element (instead of adding it directly to a page), it will update everywhere.
Why don’t you just add the menu to your header template?
Because this isn’t being used a header menu.
