Mega Menus

Updated

Overview

Mega Menus are the dropdown panels that open from the header or mobile menu. Build each one in the block editor under Mega Menus → Add New Mega Menu.

The title is the default label on the menu item. The blocks are what visitors see in the panel. A mega menu has no page, archive, or search result of its own.

Starter layout

A new mega menu opens with:

  • A full-width Section
  • A wide Structured List set to Naked, Grid, and 3 columns
  • Six empty List Cards

You can change those block settings, or delete the starter blocks and add your own. Nothing is locked.

WordPress features

  • Supports: title, editor, revisions
  • Archive: none
  • Public URL: none. Mega menus are left out of site search and have no page of their own
  • Featured image / excerpt: not used

Put it on the site

A published mega menu does nothing until you add it to a menu from the Mega Menus box under Appearance → Menus.

See Usage → Getting started for the attach steps and how the panel opens and closes.

Tips

  • Name the mega menu the way it should read in the nav, then rename the menu item only if you need a shorter label.
  • One mega menu can sit on both the desktop and mobile menus. They share the same panel.
  • Build the panel like a small page: Section for the background, Structured List or other blocks for the links.
