Megamenu Dropdown

Techmarket supports Megamenu Dropdown, with the help of two plugins that comes bundled with the theme namely : King Composer plugin and Techmarket Extensions plugin.

Building a megamenu dropdown item

1. Static Block Post Type

A megamenu item in Techmarket theme is a Static Block. This Static Block is available on activating Techmarket Extensions Plugin.

2. Enable King Composer for Static Block

• Navigate to Settings > King Composer.
• In Supported Content Types: under General Settings tab , make sure static_block is checked.

• Go to Static Content > Add New and make sure it has a button just below the title with King composer icon and text that reads Edit with KingComposer.

3. Add a new megamenu item

1. Navigate to Static Content > Add New.
2. Give it a title, lets say “Pages Megamenu” item. The title is not used anywhere in displaying the menu.
3. Click on Edit with KingComposer. It will display King Composer Backend Editor. We will use this back end editor to build our megamenu item.

 


4. Let us add a simple text block. Click on Add text block button and the result will look like this.

 


5. Click on Publish button.

4. Adding megamenu item as a submenu to a menu item

1. Navigate to Appearance > Menus.
2. On top right corner of your screen, you will find a dropdown menu Screen Options. Click on it.
3. In the dropdown that appears, check on Static Content Blocks under Show on screen. You will now see Static Content Blocks listed in the left side.

 


4. Choose the menu you want to edit. In my case I’ve chose a menu that is hooked to Primary Menu location.
5. Now check the Pages Megamenu item and click on Add to menu.
6. Drag the Pages Megamenu box and drop it under any existing menu as a submenu.

 


7. Click on Save Menu.
8. Now the megamenu will is added as a submenu.
