Multi-Column menu item
1.5. IMPORTANT! The “Is Multi-Column menu item” attribute (only available for Desktop and for Mega menus).
This is a highly specialized feature designed specifically for desktop Mega Menus. It is used when you need a full-screen menu item with multiple columns. Each column can be configured with custom widths (e.g., 3/12, 4/12, 6/12...). The Multi-Column menu item is extremely powerful and flexible for building complex menu layouts tailored to your needs.
If you don’t need complex layouts like Multi-Column menu items — or plan to use them later — you can safely delete them from your level-1 menu items.
See detailed instructions on how to use the “Is Multi-Column menu item” attribute.
When a level-1 menu item is set to “Is Multi-Column menu item”, it will be highlighted in light yellow on the Menu Tree, and its level-2 menu items will automatically be converted into Columns (with a red icon), regardless of any other attributes you assign.
For these Column level-2 menu items, the only usable attribute is Width layout. All sub-menu items under that column will then be arranged within a single column.
If you remove the “Is Multi-Column menu” attribute from the level-1 menu item, everything will revert to the original state.
Why do you need the “Dropdown width when expanded” attribute?
By default, when using the “Is Multi-Column menu item” attribute, the submenu (dropdown) expands to full screen width (or based on the container size, usually 1280, 1366, 1440, or 100% — configurable in the Advanced tab). However, with such a wide area, you may not always have enough content or ideas to fill the space.
In this case, you can limit the submenu width (individually for each Multi-Column menu item) to avoid an empty or unbalanced look.
Example: You can create a menu with a width of 700px and two columns at 6/12 each. This way, you still get a spacious layout without wasting too much screen real estate.
