Hi,

Hello, Peter,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
To create a new mega menu similar to the one you have attached, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Appearance > Menus in your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Create a new menu or select an existing one to edit.
3. Add the desired menu items and organize them into the required structure.
4. Enable the Mega Menu option for the parent menu item.
5. Configure the layout, columns, and content according to your design preferences.
6. Save the menu and check the result on the front end.
If you need more detailed guidance, please let us know, and we will provide step-by-step instructions or screenshots.

Points 3-5, please let me know where I should configure this.
Please help.
How do I get the selected elements from photo 1-3 and configure its appearance somewhere?
Hello @Peter,
To configure the layout according to your screenshot, please add the Tabs widget to your mega menu content (https://gyazo.com/e0128ed19003231939896e33254afe3b) and include the desired elements inside each tab, such as a Container, Icon Box, or other widgets.
If some widgets are not available in your Elementor panel, please check whether they are enabled in the Elements Manager: https://elementor.com/help/element-manager/
If you still require our assistance, kindly provide us with temporary wp-admin access to your website in the private content section.

Hi,
Thanks for the information, but I still need help.
1. I created a “mega-menu” (attachment), but I don’t know how to configure it so that when I click on one element, the content on the right changes, and so on for the next two elements – similar to the one on the post I sent (as a source).
2. Where can I change the default menu on the page?
3. I’ve created “menu-new,” but I’m not sure if I assigned “mega-menu” to it correctly.
Please help me set this up because I’m a bit lost.
Hello @Peter,
Since this widget is provided by Elementor, please refer to their documentation for detailed guidance: https://elementor.com/help/tabs-with-nested-containers/.
To add mega menu items to your header, use the Mega Menu widget (https://prnt.sc/C_kPn7HXQU09) and assign your mega menu content to the corresponding menu items as shown here: https://prnt.sc/RHvpOkC9O-0G and https://prnt.sc/Jq9d8GFGDJLR.

And tell me, Mike, if anything changes if I disable “Elementor,” because we’re used to wpbakery and that’s how we create the website, and two editors clashed with styles and typography, so we have to stick with one.
How can I create this mega menu without Elementor?
Can you help me?
Hello @Peter,
You can create a mega menu using static blocks and configure it according to the instructions provided in our documentation: https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/menu-set-up/mega-menu/, under the section titled “Creating a Mega Menu Using Static Blocks Built With WPBakery on WordPress.”

I don’t understand the logic behind this mega menu.
The menu is appearing twice, and I don’t know how to make it appear individually.
I don’t have the options you show in the video, and I’m lost.

Can’t you load a demo menu so I can use it as a reference? Or help me create such a menu.
how to get it so that after clicking the menu changes like on the original plasmaderm website.
Hello @Peter,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to recreate the same style using WPBakery by default without additional CSS adjustments. However, you can create a static block with the “Tour” element (https://gyazo.com/ba773827cb78a29dc95a6ed0d66f5c51) and configure the tabs with your content: https://gyazo.com/ab824cb87f2725361a382f6a54078eed.
After that, you can assign this static block to your menu item under Appearance → Menus: https://gyazo.com/cae15257d19d991f1dad2d80a8be8214.
Here is an example of the frontend result: https://gyazo.com/9bee880fdddc2a137bafe7b84161e7b9.
Additionally, you can adjust the widget settings, such as spacing or other parameters, as shown here: https://gyazo.com/19802c9b0a7fe0f3b2d546aacfc6b2a8.

Okay, I’ve set it up and added some test items for now, and I have two questions:
1. What can I use to get the icon and description on the right side in two columns like in the screenshot?
2. Why does the content appear twice when I hover over the main menu (mega menu)?
Hello @Peter,
1. To create an icon box with a description, you can use the Icon Box widget itself: https://gyazo.com/3ba1c75f4414b8d8cdb0548e83ba7418 with the following settings: https://gyazo.com/6d151ba4b78d08ce87a154ba7e3905cd. This widget is located within the Row and Column widgets. We have created an example in one of your tab contents.
2. The issue was caused by the “Active Ajax Menu Dropdown” option being enabled: https://gyazo.com/c65c63c9e4761bbc07fd77c2e0e29cd4, which prevented WPBakery from loading the correct assets on page load. We have now disabled this setting on your website.
Please check it again.

ok, thanks.
And where will I style this menu marked as “1” as it is “2” in the original?
Hello @Peter,
You may try adjusting the “Style” option of the Tour widget: https://gyazo.com/8b4d4e7376f55a35c1919c2e3509cdc9. Please note, however, that the design options available for WPBakery elements are somewhat limited, so in certain cases, you may need to add custom CSS to style the tabs as desired, also it may be needed to add some classes for your elements to apply the correct style.

Jack Richardson

ok, thanks.
But I have another problem with customizing the tabs.
How can I get the tabs to look like this?
Can you help me with the CSS?
1 is the source and 2 is the target new page.
Hello @Peter,
Please note that providing additional customization is beyond the scope of our basic support. However, as an exception, we have decided to assist you with your current request. We have added a custom CSS class to your tabs (https://gyazo.com/8d64d419de60ffdff8a09056ad4ebc0f) and implemented the custom CSS on the following page: https://gyazo.com/b540aa906ba5978e8685d9892781c984.
