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 Painel 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 ElementosKit.

Activate Needed Elements

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

• Vá para ElementsKit > Modules e habilitar o Mega Cardápio módulo.

• Seguir 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 etapa 3.

• Navegar para Aparência > Menus.

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

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

• Here, hit the EDITAR CONTEÚDO DO MEGAMENU button to load the menu layout in the Elementor editor.

• Then, activate the mega menu and click the “Edite com Elementor” option. And the visual editor will load on your screen. 

• Drag the Menu de navegação do ElementsKit widget onto your page.
• No Contente tab, go to Configurações do menu.

And, set the Ponto de interrupção responsivo como Mobile.

Step 5: Configure Mobile Menu Settings

Debaixo de Contente tab, scroll down to Configurações do menu móvel to define the core behavior:

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. 

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