Hello, I want to add my navigation bar seen below: ![Screenshot 2025-10-08 at 16.08.39](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/a/7/ca702be324176bc52aa4cfb8b5ee9b5f92470935.png) Next to the logo on the header bar, how can I do this? The top nav is custom coded into my css. Thanks Joe ---

Seems he chose a different component: > [@down\_arrow Dropdown Header](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dropdown-header/226170/80): > > Hi all, I have an issue that my drop-down header is making my logo smaller and really squashed: But it looks fine in Admin!? [Screenshot 2025-10-09 at 06.38.03] Any ideas how to fix this, I also want the font to be bold and match my colour on my custom css nav above, how can I achieve that? Thanks Joe ---

Hello, Yes the one that @chapoi kindly shared could not support sub links, this other one did, it looks fine in admin but breaks when not in the admin section, really frustrated, looking to explore why this is happening. I had been trying to just move custom CSS nav bar into that area, but it has been unsuccessful. Thanks for cross possting @Moin ---

This is not going to be an easy one for us all to help you with here in #Support, because you are talking about customizations that we can’t replicate and you will need to troubleshoot on your own site. I slid this across to the #Development category. If you continue to have trouble and can’t solve this on your own, you might consider looking to hire somebody by posting in #Marketplace.
