Max Mega Menu comes with a built in widget which allows you to display a single menu location within a widget area. Depending on your theme, you might have widget areas set up in the header, footer and sidebar areas. Using the following method we can add a Mega Menu\u00a0to any of these areas.<\/p>\n

\"max-mega-menu-widget\"<\/a>

You must use the “Max Mega Menu” widget (not the “Navigation Menu” widget!)<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

If you are using an existing menu location, simply add a Max Mega Menu Widget to your page and select the relevant menu location.<\/p>\n

The following steps assume you want to display a brand new mega menu using a widget.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Registering a new menu location.<\/h3>\n

First we’ll need to create a new menu location specifically for use within the widget.<\/p>\n

Under\u00a0Mega Menu > Menu Locations<\/em>, click the “Add another menu location” link and rename the location to something suitable. In our case we’ll rename the location to “Blog Sidebar Menu”.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We now have a new menu location which we can use within the Max Mega Menu widget.<\/p>\n

Tip: Advanced users may prefer to register a new menu location using the register_nav_menu<\/a> function.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Assign a menu to the new location<\/h3>\n

Under Appearance > Menus<\/em>, create a new menu and assign it to the new menu location.<\/p>\n

\"widget-menu\"<\/a>

If you want to display a vertical menu in a sidebar, now is the time to set the “Orientation” (in the Max Mega Menu settings box) to either “Vertical” or “Accordion”.<\/p><\/div>\n

Step 3: Add the Max Mega Menu widget to a sidebar<\/h3>\n

Under Appearance > Widgets, drag the Max Mega Menu<\/b> widget\u00a0(not the Navigation Menu widget<\/em>) to a sidebar and select the new menu location.<\/p>\n

\"max-mega-menu-widget-new-location\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The menu will\u00a0now be displayed in your sidebar.\u00a0You can repeat\u00a0the\u00a0same steps to create\u00a0and display multiple Mega Menus on your site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
