JetMenu <\/em>plugin is a tool that allows customizing a website\u2019s menu and building a mega menu with Elementor and Gutenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create a mega menu with the needed structure, including a desired number of columns, inner sections, and widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a mega menu with several columns in Elementor.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/svg><\/div>
Things to know<\/div>

This guide is based on the Zolden<\/strong><\/a> dynamic template by Crocoblock.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create a Main Menu and its Submenus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Initially, you should create a main menu if you haven\u2019t built it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build a menu, go to WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Menus <\/em><\/strong>and press the \u201ccreate a new menu<\/strong>\u201c button. You can find more information about the menu creation process in the How to Create a Mega Menu in Elementor<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you should create several menus that will be displayed in different columns. To do it, press the \u201ccreate a new menu<\/strong>\u201c button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"main<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Complete a Menu Name <\/strong>field and add the needed elements to the menu structure (pages, categories, custom links, etc.). In the Menu Settings<\/strong> (at the end of this page), enable the needed location in the Display location<\/strong> field, and remember to press the \u201cSave Menu<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/svg><\/div>
Warning<\/div>

If you have the main and single menu, it is possible to enable the Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu<\/strong> option, and the new pages will be added to this menu automatically.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add other needed submenus to be displayed in the columns the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"custom<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, return to the main menu by selecting it in the Select a menu to edit dropdown<\/strong> list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hover over the needed menu item and press the \u201cSettings<\/strong>\u201d button to add a mega content to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"main<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the opened pop-up, activate the Use Mega content <\/strong>toggle. Make sure that the Mega content type <\/strong>is set to \u201cElementor\u201d and press the \u201cEdit Mega content<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"mega<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the Elementor template is opened, press the \u201c+<\/strong>\u201d button in the center of the editing area to start building a multi-column layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"plus<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Select the preferred layout among the presented options. For instance, we pick the four-column option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"select<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You are free to add any desired content in the columns. Now, we will describe an example template we have created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first column, we add two Images <\/strong>and two Buttons<\/strong>. One button links to the \u201cNew Arrivals\u201d page and the other to the Best Sellers <\/strong>page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"button<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the second column, we add one more Image <\/strong>and one more Button <\/strong>widget that links to the \u201cSell Out\u201d page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"button<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Proceeding to the third column, we first add a \u201cCollections\u201d Heading <\/strong>and then find and drop the Vertical Mega Menu<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>widget on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its Menu <\/strong>settings, we choose the first submenu we created in the Select Menu <\/strong>field. Adjust other settings of the menu if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"vertical<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the fourth column, we also put a Heading <\/strong>widget (\u201cAccessories\u201d) and a Vertical Mega Menu <\/strong>widget. This time, we pick the second submenu we have created in the Select Menu <\/strong>field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"vertical<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you have adjusted the template, press the \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Add Main Menu to the Page\/Template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Head to the page or template where you want to place the mega menu. In the described tutorial, we want to add it to the header<\/a> already built beforehand with JetThemeCore<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we proceed to WordPress Dashboard > Crocoblock > Theme Templates <\/em><\/strong>and open the header in the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find and add the Mega Menu <\/strong>widget to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the built menu in the Menu <\/strong>dropdown and adjust other settings if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"main<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Save the changes by pressing the \u201cPublish<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check the Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Head to the page where the menu is located. In our case, it\u2019s the home page where the header with the menu is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you hover over the main menu item, for which you have mega content, you will observe the multi-column layout you have built earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"multi-column<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all; now, you know how to build a multi-column mega menu in Elementor with the help of the JetMenu <\/em>plugin for WordPress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
