Mobile Menu design

  • Hello!

    I love Max Mega Menu, but I don’t care for the default mobile version. I want something akin to what Mobile Menu or Responsive Menu can do with the slide from the sides. However the solutions are incompatible it seems, so that the Max Menus do not show in the mobile versions of those plugins.

    My question is how to achieve the nice function of MR & RM with the configuration of Max Mega Menu that easiest. Is it:

    1. Rework existing Mega Menu mobile version until it works similar to MR & RM
    2. Customize MM or RM so that they correctly display Max Mega Menu widgets in mobile

    What is your enlightened opinion and experience?

    Cheers

    Hi prokops,

    A slide out style mobile menu is not possible with MMM, so you are correct in thinking you’d need to use a different plugin if you want that behaviour for your mobile menu. You can either use a dedicated mobile menu plugin (like the ones you have listed), and hide the MMM menu on mobile. We have a guide for that here:

    https://www.megamenu.com/documentation/configuring-mobile-menu-plugins/

    Or you could use a plugin that outputs a sliding panel, and place a max mega menu widget within it. I think this plugin can do that (but I have not used it myself): https://codecanyon.net/item/ninja-kick-sliding-panel-for-wordpress/6796296

    Thanks for the answer!

    I am a bit surprised that this is not PRO functionality. My follow up question is, if I use suggestion 1, then I would need a duplicate menu tree for mobile, as my main Max Mega Menu uses widgets for all submenus. Is that correct?

    The Max Mega Menu widget might work, I will investigate.

    Hi Prokops,

    That is correct, the mobile menu plugins can either use the existing menu structure (minus the widgets), or you can configure them to use a separate menu structure.

    Thanks for the answer. The “minus the widgets” part is the important one, as all my submenues are made of custom html widgets. If I can’t get another plugin to show the widgets, I am looking at using a alternative mobile menu OR writing my own side slide for your plugin.

    Could you consider developing a nice mobile side slide in the future?

    Cheers

    Hi Prokops,

    It’s definitely on the list.

    In your situation, it sounds like either custom coding, or using a slide out panel which accepts widgets, would be the route to go down.

    As a side note (and it may not apply to you), if you are using custom HTML widgets to essentially sub display menu items (rather than images or something like that), then it might be possible to build your menu entirely using menu items – you can add those as standard sub menu items, and they will appear within the grid layout editor. For example if you check the “Menu Items” sub menu on the demo menu here: https://www.megamenu.com/ – that is built using a standard menu structure (the only widget is the “About this sub menu” section at the bottom).
