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 Tableau de bord 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 ElementsKit.

Activate Needed Elements

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

• Aller à ElementsKit > Modules et activer le Méga menu module.

• Suivre 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 Étape 3.

• Aller vers Apparence > Menus.

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

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

• Here, hit the MODIFIER LE CONTENU DU MEGAMENU 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. 

• Naviguer to ElementsKit > Header Footer > et cliquez Ajouter nouveau.
• Doing this will reveal a popup box.

• Give your mobile menu title, define type as Entête, and select the Conditions to set where to show your mobile mega menu. 
• Then, activate the mega menu and click the “Modifier avec Elementor » option. And the visual editor will load on your screen. 

• Drag the Menu de navigation ElementsKit widget onto your page.
• Dans le Contenu tab, go to Paramètres des menus.

• 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 Paramètres des menus option of the Menu de navigation ElementsKit paramètres. 

And, set the Point d'arrêt réactif comme Mobile.

Step 5: Configure Mobile Menu Settings

Sous le Contenu tab, scroll down to Paramètres du menu mobile to define the core behavior:

• Select Mobile Menu Logo: Upload the logo specifically for the mobile view.
• Lien du menu : Assign a custom URL or your Homepage URL to the logo.

• Set Hamburger Icon: Choose an icon from the library for the menu toggle.
• Zone de clic du sous-menu : Decide if users trigger submenus by clicking the Icône uniquement ou both the icon and Text area.

Step 6: Customize Mobile Menu

Passez au Style tab to fine-tune the aesthetics.

Style Hamburger Menu

• Hamburger Toggle: Ajuster Position (Top/Middle), Rembourrage, Largeur, et Rayon de frontière. 
• Then, set the Type d'arrière-plan, Frontière, et Couleur de l'icône pour les deux Normale et Flotter states.
• Close Toggle: Customize the Typographie, Rembourrage, et Couleur de l'icône for the “X” button that closes the menu.

Style Mobile Logo

• Ajuste le Largeur, Hauteur, Marge, et Rembourrage 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. 

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