How To Build a WordPress Mega Menu with Elementor and Stratum

Ann Taylor in WordPress tutorials Leave a comment on How To Build a WordPress Mega Menu with Elementor and Stratum

The default WordPress navigation menu, which is styled up by your theme, allows you to use pages, posts, categories and URLs as menu items. This means you are rather limited as to what you can customize in the menu – one of the central parts of your site that helps you get the most out of your online presence.

For different types of sites this limitation might mean different things: worse product presentation for ecommerce stores, fewer chances to better highlight top posts for blogs and magazines, etc.

This is when mega menu plugins for WordPress come into play.

In spite of the 2020 global slowdown, both tourism and the entire travel industry have long and firmly secured their place online.
