    Except primary menu, shortcode is required for all menus to get displayed on the frontend. Hence, copy and paste the shortcode of desired menu in the CMS page or static blocks where you want to display the menu.

  1. Mega Menu Block: When we add menu items in mega menu block and click on add to menu, it creates a menu item as shown below. This option will be only enabled when current menu type is mega menu.

    The options specified in menu block are as follows.

    • Label: It displays label name for menu item.
    • Class: Add multiple classes to menu items on front end.
    • Preceding Label Content: This option is used to add content before menu item on frontend. This is basically used to add font awesome icons. We can add font awesome icon code here.
    • Menu Columns: There are maximum 5 columns supported now which is used to create columns from menu items for mega menu.
    • Multiple Columns: These columns are created by Menu columns selected no. This contains static blocks and normal menus. When we select any static block from the column that static block will get rendered on the frontend for the menu and same thing happens for normal menus.
