Edit A Menu Item

With smart context aware, Elemental Menu clones entire menu context when editing a menu item. It makes everything truly live.

  1. Enable Mega: Whether to enable mega menu for the editing menu item or not.
  2. Mega Submenu Fits To: Select fullscreen width, container’s width or a custom HTML element to sync the width and alignment of the Mega Submenu with that element. If you inspect Elementor’s HTML code, the options are based on this structure: mega panel fits to anatomy

  3. Fit-To Element: When the “Mega Submenu Fits To” option is set to “Custom”, you may use this option to use a custom HTML element instead of using the default options. Please enter a valid CSS selector value! Note that the DOM on the menu item editor is different from the actual DOM where the menu will be rendered. So, there may be notices about Fit-To element not found, just ignore it.
  4. Mega Submenu Width: If you want a fixed width, use this option. The position of the mega submenu will be calculated automatically to make sure everything is responsive.
  5. Submenu Top Position: This control is available when editing a menu item of a vertical menu. It’s live, try it out if you’re unsure how things work.

4. Badge section
