Update – I figured out how to remove the old menu and add an Easel Custom Menu – but now I can’t seem to control the way the pages appear in it. I will keep trying but if you have any quick tips I’d appreciate them. Thanks!
.. when you add the custom menu widget you can set a name for it, then you go to the appearance -> menu section of your wp-admin and set your items for it
You will also need to CSS it.
