How to Create Mobile Mega Menu (Fully Responsive)

HoHow to Create Mobile Mega Menu

The easiest  method of creating a mobile mega menu is using a header & footer builder like ElementsKit. It allows you to build code free and see your changes visually. 

Go through the steps below to know how to create mobile mega menus for WordPress websites. 

Step 1: Install ElementsKit Mega Menu Plugin

First, install and activate the ElementsKit Elementor addon. For this,

• Log in to your WordPress-Dashboard, follow Plugins → Add Plugin, and search for “ElementsKit”.

Since, ElementsKit is an Elementor addon, you also need to install and activate the Elementor builder plugin.

• Once you see it: Install and activate ElementsKit.

Activate Needed Elements

Here are some crucial ElementsKit elements to build mobile mega menus: 

• Gehe zu ElementsKit > Modules und aktivieren Sie die Mega-Menü Modul.

• Folgen ElementsKit > Widgets and activate the Nav Menu Widget.

Step 2: Create Your Site Mega Menu

Before going mobile, you need a functional mega menu. If you already have one, skip Step 2  and move to Schritt 3.

• Navigieren Sie zu Aussehen > Menüs.

• Enable the checkbox next to “Enable this menu for Mega Menu content”.

• Hover over a menu item, then click the Mega-Menü icon, and the mega menu settings popup.

• Here, hit the BEARBEITEN SIE DEN INHALT DES MEGAMENÜS button to load the menu layout in the Elementor editor.

• Once the ElementsKit-powered Elementor editor loads, you have the power to build your website mega menu with a template or from scratch.

Step 3: Add Mobile Mega Menu  to your header/page

Come back to your WordPress dashboard to make your mobile mega menu live. 

• Navigieren to ElementsKit > Header Footer > und klicken Neue hinzufügen.
• Doing this will reveal a popup box.

• Give your mobile menu title, define type as Header, and select the Bedingungen to set where to show your mobile mega menu. 
• Then, activate the mega menu and click the “Bearbeiten mit Elementor“ option. And the visual editor will load on your screen. 

• Drag the ElementsKit Nav-Menü widget onto your page.
• Im Inhalt tab, go to Menüeinstellungen.

• Select your created menu from the dropdown.

Step 4: Set Responsive Breakpoint for Mobile Menu (Optional)

A breakpoint determines exactly when the desktop menu “flips” into the mobile version. To do this, remain in the Menüeinstellungen option of the ElementsKit Nav-Menü Einstellungen. 

And, set the Reaktionsfähiger Haltepunkt als Mobile.

Step 5: Configure Mobile Menu Settings

Unter dem Inhalt tab, scroll down to Mobile Menüeinstellungen to define the core behavior:

• Select Mobile Menu Logo: Upload the logo specifically for the mobile view.
• Menü-Link: Assign a custom URL or your Homepage URL to the logo.

• Set Hamburger Icon: Choose an icon from the library for the menu toggle.
• Untermenü Klickbereich: Decide if users trigger submenus by clicking the Nur Symbol oder both the icon and Text area.

Step 6: Customize Mobile Menu

Wechseln Sie zum Stil tab to fine-tune the aesthetics.

Style Hamburger Menu

• Hamburger Toggle: Anpassen Position (Top/Middle), Polsterung, Breite, Und Grenzradius. 
• Then, set the Hintergrundtyp, Grenze, Und Symbolfarbe für beide Normal Und Schweben states.
• Close Toggle: Customize the Typografie, Polsterung, Und Symbolfarbe for the “X” button that closes the menu.

Style Mobile Logo

• Verstelle die Breite, Höhe, Marge, Und Polsterung to ensure the logo sits perfectly within the mobile header bar.

Step 7: Preview & Check Responsiveness

Never skip the final check! Use the Elementor Responsive Mode at the top of the panel to toggle between Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile views.

Check how your mega menu works in the mobile view. Especially, click on the submenus to test that they are revealing accurately. Another important step is checking your mega menu on a real mobile device that has a touch function. 

Notiz: Always test the “Submenu Click Area” on a real touch device to ensure the navigation is intuitive and easy to trigger with a thumb.
