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 Kit de elementos Elementor addon. For this,

• Log in to your Panel de control de WordPress, 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 Kit de elementos.

Activate Needed Elements

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

• Ir a ElementsKit > Modules y habilitar el Megamenú módulo.

• Seguir ElementosKit > 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 Paso 3.

• Navegar a Apariencia > Menús.

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

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

• Here, hit the EDITAR CONTENIDO DEL MEGAMENÚ 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.

• Once you’re done with your website mega menu, proceed to the next step.

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

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

• Navegar to ElementsKit > Header Footer > y haga clic Agregar nuevo.
• Doing this will reveal a popup box.

• Give your mobile menu title, define type as Encabezamiento, and select the Condiciones to set where to show your mobile mega menu. 
• Then, activate the mega menu and click the “Editar con Elementor” option. And the visual editor will load on your screen. 

• Drag the Menú de navegación de ElementsKit widget onto your page.
• En el Contenido tab, go to Configuración del menú.

• 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 Configuración del menú option of the Menú de navegación de ElementsKit ajustes. 

And, set the Punto de interrupción responsivo como Mobile.

Step 5: Configure Mobile Menu Settings

Bajo la Contenido tab, scroll down to Configuración del menú móvil to define the core behavior:

• Select Mobile Menu Logo: Upload the logo specifically for the mobile view.
• Enlace del menú: Assign a custom URL or your Homepage URL to the logo.

• Set Hamburger Icon: Choose an icon from the library for the menu toggle.
• Área de clic del submenú: Decide if users trigger submenus by clicking the Sólo icono o both the icon and Text area.

Step 6: Customize Mobile Menu

Cambiar a la Estilo tab to fine-tune the aesthetics.

Style Hamburger Menu

• Hamburger Toggle: Ajustar Posición (Top/Middle), Relleno, Ancho, y Radio del borde. 
• Then, set the Tipo de fondo, Borde, y Color del icono para ambos Normal y Flotar states.
• Close Toggle: Customize the Tipografía, Relleno, y Color del icono for the “X” button that closes the menu.

Style Mobile Logo

• Ajustar el Ancho, Altura, Margen, y Relleno 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. 

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