Create Mega Menu
When you’re done styling your menu, the next step is to create your mega menu. To do this:
Go to Appearance > Menus, check the Enable Mega Menu option then save (02:25).
Under Menu Structure is a list of items that are present in the menu on the website. We’re going to add another menu item where the mega menu will be added.
Under Add menu items go to Custom Links, add a hashtag (#) under URL and add Works under Link Text, then click Add to Menu (03:14).
Drag the new item (Works) and position it above Contact, then click the Save menu button.
When you go to the website and reload, Works will be added as a new menu item (03:38)
Back in your menu structure, click on Works and check the Enable Mega Menu option, then on the select template option you can choose a template to use in your mega menu; a template you should’ve created using Elementor (04:32), then Save Menu.
After saving the menu go to your website and reload it, your mega menu should show up under Works (05:43)
You can also do more customization on your mega menu back under the menu structure. For example, you can change your menu width, you can add a menu icon, a badge, etc. and for even more advanced customizations, you’ll need the pro version of HT Mega Addons.
