Mega menus - Verba

Header and footer Pro
This article covers functionality available to customers on the Pro version.

A columns mega menu opens a wide panel instead of a narrow list, with the links grouped into columns. Past a handful of sections, a single column stops being a menu and becomes a list nobody reads.

#Build the structure first

The columns come from the item's nested items, so build the menu structure at AppearanceMenus before you turn anything on:

  • Each item one level under the top-level item becomes a column, with its name as the column heading.
  • Items nested under that one become the links in its column.
  • An item with nothing nested under it becomes a column on its own, a single link.

#Turn it on

Open the top-level item

At AppearanceMenus, expand the top-level item that should open the panel. Only top-level items have a submenu type.

Set the submenu type

In Submenu Options, set Submenu type to Columns megamenu, and save the menu.

See Menu item options for the rest of the panel.

#What to put in it

Enable banner column adds a banner card with an image and a link as one more column.

Show subtitles in submenu puts each item's Page subtitle under its name. A short line often explains a section better than its name does.

A mega menu earns its space when there's a structure behind it. With fewer than five links it looks empty.

The panel opens but is blank

The item has no nested items. The columns come from them.

Can I set the number of columns directly?

No. There's one column per item nested directly under the top-level item, plus one for the banner. Add or regroup items to change the count.
