magento2: add static block to header menu

Question

My Categories are displayed in my Header Main menu. Now I want to add another link( called 'about us') after the last category in my header. I plan to create a static cms block -> in it's content put some html:

<ul>
    <li class="ui-menu-item level0">
        <a href="#" class="level-top"><span>About Us</span></a>
    </li>
</ul> 

then add this static block to the header. How can I achieve this ?

Answer 1

Firstly you need to create static cms block about us. and add your content in content part.

Now to add that block in header follow the below steps :

1. Create/Add new category from product/categories from admin menu.
2. Make Sure Enable Categories menu and Include in menu is selected as enable.
3. Click on Content tab and go to the Add CMS Block - Select your about us cms block from there.
4. From Display settings , Select Display mode as a Statick Block only and Anchor as yes.
5. Click on Save button and after that run the cache:clean command and check.

Note : You can also do it same thing by overriding the respected template.

Answer 2

Create static block from CONTENT->BLOCKS

If you need About-Us as category link then you do not need to add from template. It would be better if you add it as category.

Go to Products->Categories

Create About-Us category

Go to the content tab from Add CMS Block select your block.

Go to the Display Setting from Display Mode select Static Block only
