How to Add a Button to the Top Navigation in Astra

Use Astra’s Header Builder to place and configure a top-navigation button, with separate placement steps for mobile and an older path for Astra versions before 3.0.

Add a button to Astra’s top navigation from Appearance > Customize > Header: place the Header Builder’s Button element where you want it, set its text, link and design, then publish. For mobile, switch the builder to its mobile view and place the button in the off-canvas menu.

Add a button to the Astra header

  1. In your WordPress dashboard, open Appearance > Customize > Header. Astra may identify this area as the Header Builder.
  2. In the Header Builder layout, add the Button element to the header row and position where you want it. To make it a distinct call to action at the end of the menu, place it after the menu elements.
  3. Open the Button settings. Enter the button label, such as “Contact” or “Book now,” and the destination URL. Use the design controls to adjust its appearance.
  4. Select Publish to save the changes to your site.

Astra describes the Header Builder as a drag-and-drop way to arrange header elements, including the Primary Menu and Button. See Astra’s Header Builder overview and its button placement instructions.

Show the button in the mobile menu

  1. In the Header Builder, switch to the mobile device view.
  2. Add or move the Button element into the off-canvas menu area.
  3. Set its label, link and design if needed, then select Publish.

The desktop and mobile layouts can be arranged separately, so a button placed in the desktop header is not automatically positioned in the mobile off-canvas menu. Astra’s dedicated instructions cover both placements.

Which Astra version are you using?

Astra version Where to add the button
Astra 3.0 or later Use the Header Builder at Appearance > Customize > Header, then add its Button element.
Earlier than Astra 3.0 Go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Primary Menu > Last Item in Menu, choose Button, and configure its text and link.

These version-specific routes are documented by Astra. Labels can vary between theme versions.

Do you need Astra Pro?

Astra’s documentation distinguishes the Button element from the desktop Toggle Button. The Toggle Button opens an off-canvas panel and is documented as an Astra Pro feature for Astra 3.3 or later; that panel can contain elements such as a Button. It is not the same as adding a basic button to the header. See Astra’s desktop Toggle Button guide.
