Vertical menu instead of mega menu

[klaina]

Hi,

I have a main menu in my website with some 1st level links with dropdown menus and one link that is a megamenu.

Now I want one of the 1st level links to have a dropdown menu with two more levels: the first level would have no link, just (#) and would group the second level of links that would be the team members.

For example, the main link “Team”, then a second group “photography”, “accounting”, “IT”, etc (with more than 5), and the 3rd level it would be the people (team members).

Well, when I try to do this the menu is automatically converted in mega menu, and doesn’t allow me to have more than 5 groups. I can’t deactivate megamenu flag in general options because I have another megamenu in the website and I need it.

So, how can I indicate that this new menu isn’t a mega menu?

And how can I add team members? Do I have to paste the entire url as external links?

Thanks,
K.

Hi

So you want one of your dropdowns to not be a mega menu? Then on the parent item make sure you don’t have mega menu checked

Nothing is checked on the parent item. I can provide you access by pm.

I need admin access

You have now. Thanks!

Ahh, it seems to be because you’re using custom links for the second level menu items, this must activate the mega menu. I will forward this to the developer for you to see if anything can be done

Ok, thanks Kyle!
I’m using custom links because I see no other option to link to a Team member. Any idea of how to do this without a custom link?

Hi @klaina

Unfortunately on Dante there is currently only the option to run with mega menu enabled or disabled globally – you can’t specify for a particular menu to be single dropdown only at this time.

We are considering changing this in a future update.

Hi Ed,

and how can I add a team member without adding a custom link?

You can’t, you’ll need to use the method you’re using now

That’s a big problem for my project. I can’t use a megamenu because there are more than 5 groups.. and I need to show all the team members in the menu.

Can’t you think in an alternative solution?

I purchased the theme because I thought that megamenu was an option, not mandatory.

Please help me.

Hi @klaina

You can disable the mega menu altogether, there is an option in Theme Options > General to disable it. Then it will only show vertical menus.
