Display the menu of your website in a stylish, eye-catching manner using the JetMenu<\/a> plugin. You will be able to expand your opportunities in creating a mega menu within a default header in any WordPress theme<\/strong>. Customize the mega menu with drop-down sections and add relevant content in them easily and quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling and Creating Mega Menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

First, open Appearance > Menus<\/strong> block in the WordPress Dashboard<\/strong>, select a certain menu to edit, and enable JetMenu for current location<\/strong> option in the JetMenu Settings<\/strong> tab. Don\u2019t forget to click the Save<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"enabling\n\n\n\n

After that, we are able to use JetMenu<\/strong> functionality for each item of the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"menu\n\n\n\n

Let’s click the JetMenu<\/strong> option next to the item of the menu and the window for creating a mega menu will appear. There are six blocks, such as Content<\/strong>, Settings<\/strong>, Icon<\/strong>, Badges<\/strong>, Misc<\/strong> and Vertical Menu<\/strong>, where we can apply varied settings to the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"content\n\n\n\n

In the Content<\/strong> block, we should enable Mega Submenu<\/strong> option and push Edit Mega Menu item content<\/strong> button to enrich the item with an appropriate content via Elementor<\/strong>. We can use various widgets for displaying different kinds of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"edit\n\n\n\n

The Settings<\/strong> block gives us access to customizing the mega menu position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"settings\n\n\n\n

We select a certain icon from the dropdown list and color it as we need in the Icon<\/strong> block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"icon\n\n\n\n

We add a colorful badge to the menu item in the Badges<\/strong> block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"badges\n\n\n\n

In the Misc<\/strong> block, we set to hide item navigation label and adjust a custom padding for this item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"misc\n\n\n\n

In the Vertical Menu<\/strong> block, the settings for the JetMenu Vertical Menu<\/strong> widget are presented, so in our case, we don\u2019t need to go there unless we\u2019re customizing a vertical mega menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"vertical\n\n\n\n

When all the needed adjustments are set, we click the Save<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use JetMenu functionality<\/strong> for customizing all menu items in the same way as we have shown above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to save the updated menu by clicking the Save Menu<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we proceed to the JetMenu<\/strong> tab in the WordPress Dashboard<\/strong> to explore different options for the mega menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some settings blocks, such as General<\/strong>, Styles<\/strong>, Main Menu Styles<\/strong>, Sub Menu Styles<\/strong>, Mobile Menu<\/strong>, Advanced, <\/strong>and Presets Manager<\/strong>, which provide a lot of useful settings to adjust the menu as we wish. We switch between these blocks and style up the main menu, sub menu, mobile menu, icon, badges, drop-down arrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"general\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We finished designing the mega menu, and now we can view it within a default header on the website without actually placing it in the header template built with Elementor<\/strong>. Now you know how to add a mega menu built with Elementor<\/strong> to the default theme\u2019s header.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
