Overview
The Mega Menu Widget renders the category menu for your site, where each top level category is displayed with its subcategories expanding beneath. But what if you'd like to display other items in this menu, in addition to your product categories? Well, from version 3.91+ you can!
To achieve this, you'll need a Section Menu containing the item(s) you want to display. You can create a section menu by following this guide Section Menu Editor.
Step-by-step guide
Edit the Mega Menu widget
- In the CMS, navigate to Content → Pages & Templates.
- Select the Theme Layout tab and Edit the Theme Layout.
- Locate your Mega Menu widget and click Edit.
- Select the Section Menu Settings tab on the left.
- From the Section Menu Item Code dropdown, select the section menu you'd like to display.
- Decide whether you'd like this menu to display before (prepend) or after (append) your category list. Select the option from the dropdown.
- Enter optional heading text for the top level of this menu. If you leave it blank, it will default to the first child item in the section menu. (
