Hello,
The most popular category is an element that will verify every category based on the post views and show the most popular ones. You cannot filter a specific category to it. If you want a category list in your sidebar there are 2 other options. You can have the full category list (the ‘categories’ element: http://screencast.com/t/diragnMSpw2) or if you want to chose the ones you need to show, you can use a custom menu and add categories to it: http://screencast.com/t/6oBzYVxr3xy
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Hi,
If you add a custom menu widget in the widgets area, there are 2 places it can show up. Either the footer (footer 1, 2 and 3) or a sidebar you can add on posts, pages, or category archives.
On pages you can add the widget directly from visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/20CByd7J

Hello,
Unfortunately the mega-menu will show all sub-categories by default. There is no setting to change this. It can only be done by altering the theme files: http://screencast.com/t/NiBkTBJM7
For your second request, there also is no setting for it as you cannot add content to category pages from the theme panel. This will require coding knowledge as it will not be so easy to do. Or as an alternative, you can maybe find a plugin for category archives.
Thank you!
