Reason for needing the Code Snippet
Sometimes you want to present a navigation menu as a horizontal “mega-menu” instead of a hierarchal dropdown menu. This is really simple if you are using Beaver Builder. The mega-menu feature is built in, but is unfortunately hidden. You have to know the secret to turn it on.
What the Code Snippet does
Converts a submenu dropdown to a full-width horizontal mega-menu.
What the page looks like Before and After
Here's the Code Snippet
(in this case it’s “Categories”)
- Step 1: make sure you turn on the CSS Classes in Screen Options when viewing your WordPress Menus
- Step 2: for the parent menu item (for the submenus you want to be mega-menu) add "mega-menu" as the CSS Class (no quotes) In this example the Parent Menu Item is "Categories"
- Step 3: Save your Menu
- Step 4 if you want the mega-menu to be full width, then add the following CSS and tweak as necessary:
UL.fl-menu-horizontal LI.mega-menu > UL.sub-menu:after { content: ""; display: block; position: absolute; left: 50%; top: -1px; height: 101%; width: 100vw; transform: translateX(-50%); z-index: -1; box-sizing: border-box; border-top: 1px solid #efefef; background-color: #efefef; /* This is for full width shadow. You need to turn off "sub-menu drop shadow" in the menu module. Remove this if not needed. */ -moz-box-shadow: -2px 4px 9px 0 rgba(134, 134, 134, 0.451); -webkit-box-shadow: -2px 4px 9px 0 rgba(134, 134, 134, 0.451); box-shadow: -2px 4px 9px 0 rgba(134, 134, 134, 0.451); }
