Megamenu 2-column help please [MEGA MENU SETUP]

Please help me make a 2-column megamenu dropdown. I have read every post on megamenu and the documentation, which says "For Mega Menu columns you must add each menu item using a # "URL" attribute and - as the "Navigation label" value. Under the empty columns you can add the correct menu items." And I have seen the screen capture at https://snag.gy/nz59P.jpg you provided to someone else asking for help.  (My dev site is 64.41.83.189. )

What is a "# URL attribute"?  If I put anything in the Navigation Label field it just changes the words on my menu. Where does the dash go? Do these things go in the first-level menu item, or every sub-level item?

The screen capture you provided shows "#header_wrapper" in a field called "URL" but I do not have a URL field. You don't show a dash anywhere on the screen capture.

Thank you.

  • Hi,

    if you don't have URL field it means you do not use custom links. To activate custom links, you need to click in Screen Options in the right top corner where all additional options for menu items are. http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/doc-images/menu-edition.png - this image explain how mega menu supposed to look like.

    OK, between this and some guidance from another forum user I made a 2-column megamenu. I used to be a technical writer, so here are my complete instructions. I hope this will help someone else in the future.

    How to make a 2-column megamenu

    You’re going to create two “Custom Links” that don’t
    actually link to anything, and then drag your sub-items under them.

    1. Go to Appearance, Menus and select
      Custom Links (on the left side)
    2. In the Custom Link URL field,
      enter a pound sign “#” (this makes it link to nowhere)
    3. In the Navigation Label field add
      a dash “-” (this makes the label blank. You can add text for a column header if
      you prefer)
    4. Click to add it to the menu structure.
    5. Repeat with a second one
    6. Drag these two items to position
      each one at the top of the sub items for each column you want.
    7. Drag your sub items to the right
      to make them subordinate to each custom link item.
    8. Save it and you should be all set.
    Note: if you don’t use the hash tag and dash (or text
    instead of dash) you may find that when you save it your menu items all go to
    the bottom of your menu structure and you have to start over. This happened to me twice.

    And here is some CSS that I found in other megamenu
    discussions that helped in my situation:

    /*remove lines from
    megamenu */

    #Top_bar .menu li
    ul li a { border-bottom: 0 !important; }

    #Top_bar .menu li
    ul { background-image: none !important; }   

     

    /* megamenu font
    size */

    #Top_bar .menu li
    ul li a { font-size: 14px !important; }

     

    /* Decrease width
    of megamenu */

    #Top_bar .menu >
    li > ul.mfn-megamenu > li.mfn-megamenu-cols-2 { width: 350px !important;
    }

    #Top_bar .menu >
    li > ul.mfn-megamenu { width: 700px !important; }
