HOW do you Edit the Mega Menu??

Come on guys, you don’t have a single Video explaining this, and all the documentation I can find is clear as mud. There are only TWO places to “edit this Mega Menu” which comes packaged with the theme, but neither of these places will actually ALLOW EDITS, all I can do is Delete the entire thing or Add New Cloud item. How do you edit the INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS of the cloud item? Where is the “cloud item editor?” I want to EDIT EXISTING, which appears to be impossible at this point. Did you build this Mega Menu outside the theme and now I have to go edit some .php file or get into the CSS?

WHERE IS THE EDITOR for all these prepackaged components? When you go into Edit with DivComposer, you can’t edit anything in Mega Menu! You CANNOT drag in new articles, you cannot edit the Text anywhere. How do you get “text before categories” in the Mega menu, when you cannot see this text ANYWHERE.

This is all VERY confusing and not well documented. Basically you have shown something in the Theme which we cannot do, and this part is NOT intuitive. I can figure out the rest easily except Mega Menu. We have NO idea how you built this Mega Menu the way it comes out of the box. We cannot Edit it, that is for sure! There are NO CLEAR step-by-step instructions for a “complete idiot” who has never seen one of these! You need to write instructions for people who have never seen WordPress and never installed a Theme!!

This kind of points me in the right direction, but I am still missing a few things. WHERE do you edit your Global Categories, so you can indent the ones you want to appear just like in the Mega Menu? Also it would appear you cannot Edit the Mega Menu, you just set it up and if you want something different you have to import some other #shortcode

After a couple hours playing with this, I come up with the following:
1. The Post Categories need to be set up first the way you want with the structure: Main Cat > Sub Cat
2. In the Menu, you have to carefully select Parent to have that appear in Mega Menu
3. If you choose Mega Menu option, then it will show Sub Cat List on Left with first 4 Posts on right
4. If you do NOT choose Mega Menu, then it will just show the Categories and no Excerpts
5. You cannot edit the posts from here, shows based on the other sitewide settings (unexpected!)
6. Whatever you type in as Navigation Label will be visible on the Bar

Question: I am not sure what the # sign is for?

Hello @PrinterSmith!

Please check this video, so you can see how you can change the posts there: https://www.screencast.com/t/ulpRxXZVkEVD -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mega-menu/
The posts are taken from the category[id] which take the posts from that category and they are displaying.
If you want to build and customize that place with the TagDiv Composer, then I recommend you to use page mega menu: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-menu/
So, you’ll have a page for every item menu, which can be created normally and edited with the TagDiv Composer. You can check this functionality in this demo: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_music_life_pro/
This sign “#” can be removed and you can place your own link there.
Give it a try and I can help you where you are stack, please provide more information/screenshots/video about what you did and what you want to achieve, so I can help you efficiently.

Thank you!
