How to Enable and Use the Mega Menu

In WpRentals, the Mega Menu lets you create advanced multi-column dropdown menus. This is useful when you want to display a larger number of links in a more structured layout.

Step 1. Go to Menus

• Go to Appearance > Menus

Step 2. Create a Top-Level Parent Menu Item

• Add a page or custom link that will act as the Mega Menu parent item
• This parent item must have submenu items underneath it

Step 3. Add Submenu Levels

• Add first-level submenu items under the parent item. These will act as the column headings
• Add second-level submenu items under each of those. These will be the links shown inside the columns

Step 4. Enable Mega Menu Format

• Open the top-level parent menu item
• In the WpRentals custom menu options, enable Set as Mega Menu

Step 5. Save and Assign the Menu

Make sure the menu is assigned to the Main Menu location from the Menu Settings area.

How to Add a Background Color to the Mega Menu

If you want to change the Mega Menu background color, you can do that with custom CSS.

Example:

background-color: #fafafa;

Replace the color code with the one you want to use.

How to Edit an Existing Menu

• Go to Appearance > Menus
• Use the dropdown at the top to select the menu you want to edit
• Click Select
• Add, remove, or reorder items as needed
• Click Save Menu

How to Add Categories, Areas, Actions, and Cities to Your Menu

• On the Menus page, click Screen Options from the top right corner
• Enable the panels you want to use, such as:

• Categories
• Action / What do you rent?
• City
• Area / Neighborhood
• Property Status
• Features & Amenities

• After enabling them, these panels will appear on the left side of the Menus screen
• Select the items you want and click Add to Menu
• Use drag and drop to organize them
• Save the menu

How to Make Sub-Menus Open on Mobile Devices

To make submenus open correctly on phones and tablets:

1. Create a parent menu item using a Custom Link with # as the URL
2. Add submenu items under that parent item
3. Save the menu

This setup helps the parent item act as a trigger for opening the submenu on mobile devices.
