How to Enable and Use the Mega Menu

In WpRentals, a mega menu allows you to create advanced, multi-column dropdown menus—ideal for showcasing a large number of links, categories, or custom elements in a structured and visually appealing way.

Go to Menus

• In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to
  Appearance > Menus

Create a Top-Level Menu Item

• Add a custom link or page that will act as the mega menu parent item

• This parent item must have sub-items underneath it (the columns and links in the mega menu)

Add Submenus

• Add menu items under the parent — these will be the column headers

• Under each of those, add more nested items — they will be the links inside the columns

Enable Mega Menu Format

• Click on the parent menu item (top level)

• In the WpRentals custom menu fields (visible only when WpRentals is active), check the box: “Set as Mega Menu”

Save the Menu

Assign the Menu 

Make sure this menu is assigned to the Main Menu location under Menu Settings 

How to Add a Background Color to the Mega Menu

To add background color to the mega menu content, use CSS. See example below.  Change the color code to your color code.

background-color: #fafafa;
