Navigation Templates In Detail
Modal Navigation
Perfect for mobile-first sites. Creates a full-screen overlay navigation menu that slides in from the top or side. Ideal for clean, distraction-free mobile navigation.
Modal Dropdown Navigation
Best of both worlds: traditional dropdown navigation on desktop, modal overlay on mobile devices. Great for sites with many navigation items.
Slide-In Navigation
Off-canvas navigation drawer that slides in from the right edge. Popular for modern web apps and mobile-optimized sites.
Classic Navigation
Traditional horizontal navigation bar that collapses to a hamburger menu icon on smaller screens. The most familiar navigation pattern for users.

Groundworx Navigation is built specifically for theme.json block themes. Works perfectly with:
* Twenty Twenty-Four
* Twenty Twenty-Five
* Blockbase
* Frost
* Any FSE (Full Site Editing) block theme
Note: Requires a theme.json-ready block theme. Not compatible with classic PHP themes.

Întrebări frecvente
-
Groundworx Navigation is an alternative focused on complex responsive layouts—modal overlays, slide-in navigation, sticky headers, hamburger menus—without requiring custom CSS. Both navigation blocks can coexist in WordPress.
-
Why can’t I select Fixed or Scroll-Up Reveal position?
-
Fixed and Scroll-Up Reveal navigation positions only appear when the block is placed inside a
Headertemplate part. In regular page content, only Relative and Sticky positions are available for navigation menus. -
What responsive breakpoints are available?
-
Choose from
tablet,laptop,desktop, orlarge-desktopbreakpoints—matching Groundworx breakpoint utilities. Set Toggle Behaviour Responsive in navigation settings and pick your breakpoint. -
Accordion, Accordion Alt, List, Vertical, and Horizontal navigation displays. Each menu style works with any layout template (Modal, Modal Dropdown, Slide-In, or Classic navigation).
-
Will this work with my WordPress theme?
-
Groundworx Navigation requires a theme.json block theme (also called FSE or Full Site Editing theme). If you’re using a classic PHP theme or older block theme without full theme.json support, the navigation block won’t function correctly.
Solution: Use a modern block theme like Twenty Twenty-Four, Twenty Twenty-Five, Blockbase, or Frost—all fully compatible with Groundworx Navigation.
-
Yes! Use the flexible block structure to create multi-column navigation menus and mega menu layouts within any navigation template.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Absolutely. Groundworx Navigation works with any WordPress block theme, including WooCommerce-enabled sites. Build custom navigation menus with your product categories.
-
Yes! That’s the core feature. Choose responsive behavior and breakpoints, and your navigation automatically adapts—collapsing to a hamburger menu, modal, or slide-in drawer on mobile devices.
-
Yes. Select Sticky or Fixed position in navigation settings to create sticky header navigation that stays visible while scrolling.
