Hi,

I’ve read https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-the-megamenu/.

But I have 5 categories without sub-categories.
In Appearance > Menus. I create one menu_category (not mega menu). Then below that one menu_category is 5 sub item for my 5 category and I make all of them category mega menu.

It show my latest post per category but it fly’s out.. I mean it’s not the same with Megamenu with sub-categories.
Do you know how to make it show like in your documentation (megamenu w/ subcategories). Any fix on code or plugins to use?

Thank you.

Hi,

The item with mega menu should not have sub-menus. If you select a category as mega menu and that category have sub-categories, all those sub-categories will be on you mega menu.

Like in documentation, if you choose lifestyle and the Category lifestyle have sub-categories like Beauty, Get inspired… all those will be there in mega menu. ttp://screencast.com/t/xAHHPmoIz
You don’t need to add then in menu as sub-menus.

Thanks!

I have followed this to the letter spent 10 hours and still can not get the mega menu to work as your http://screencast.com/t/xAHHPmoIz with the sub categories on the left

Hi,

You have to add your category to the menu and select “make this category megamenu” like this: http://screencast.com/t/hRnUhQJm04
The subcategories of the parent category will be automatically added on left side: http://screencast.com/t/A1stqwuvTW

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Yes I have done this and still no subcategories appear on the left. I am using newsmag – not newspaper, does this have a relevance?

Best regards

Hi,

Mega Menu will display the subcategories automatically if the selected category has any. – http://screencast.com/t/uH23yFkaFhttp://screencast.com/t/BvPCer7OUOgThttp://screencast.com/t/Q5rhDSj4cdL
Please try this without any plugins installed (leave only Visual Composer active). Also please update the theme if you are not using the latest theme version(1.4) and the Visual Composer(4.3.5) that comes with the theme and you can find it into the ../plugins folder. Follow this guide to update the theme and use ftp method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Please also provide your site URL so we can also check this, some screenshots to show you set megamenu and categories.
Also please post your issues about newsmag theme in the newsmag section!

Unfortunately I am building the site on my localhost

Both the theme and the Visual Composer are the latest downloads from themeforest

Here is a link to download the screenshots and explanations

Hi,

The mega menu on newsmag theme which you also use looks like this: http://screencast.com/t/dRVagxJFG ..with the subcategories added under the posts not on the left side as they are added on newspaper theme: http://screencast.com/t/dWVIenSLzrcP
I see you have set the mega menu right specifying though that this hasn’t been designed to be used for categories/subcategories used as sub-items, like you set it here: http://screencast.com/t/uBqD4hjDI7
The right use for it is to add the menu item which you set to use the mega menu directly in the menu, like this:
* http://screencast.com/t/gs0UHORFPu
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hi

Can you tell me how I can add the same code for the Newspaper Theme menu as http://screencast.com/t/dWVIenSLzrcP

For my menus to appear like this on Newsmag?

Also under the travel menu – how do I get the menus to appear like this?

Best regards

Joe

Hi,

1. Unfortunately there is no option to place the subcategories on left side, you would need custom modifications. We cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.

2. Create your menus from appearance > menus section: http://screencast.com/t/5ntqLpyXaaJ
Add your items to your custom menu: http://screencast.com/t/Ff4S0quiv
Set a page like this and choose your menus and publish: http://screencast.com/t/dAfaYkWmmk
Then use the page ID an set it as mega menu for your menu item: http://screencast.com/t/yphGpD46V
Result: http://screencast.com/t/TEVNDFmT

Please post your issues about newsmag theme in the newsmag section!

I read this topic and this is fantastic explanation, and now i have mega menu perfect!

In newsmag theme demo when you click on “travel” in main menu you are going to tagdiv-travel CATEGORY not to the page. How i can do the same? I hope you understand what i want. I want when click on “travel” to open some category, not page.

Thank you

Hi,

Travel is a category on our demo, so add your category in the menu and load a page as megamenu – http://screencast.com/t/rlrUN5ppIS3F

Thanks!
