FAQ
Question 1: How do I stop my Desktop Mega Menu from wrapping to a second line?
There are two situations that can break the layout of a desktop Mega Menu bar: too many top-level items, or the site viewed in a window narrower than a standard desktop. Two settings under Setting → Layout → Desktop fix this — no code required.
Menu overflow navigation
Turn on Show navigation arrows when menu overflows. The top-level bar always stays on one row; items that don’t fit are tucked behind a › arrow button instead of wrapping. Two color fields, Button background color and Arrow icon color, let you style the button.
Mobile switch breakpoint
By default, any screen narrower than 768px switches the whole menu to mobile mode, even if there’s still enough room for a desktop layout — common on tablets or a resized browser window. Lower the Breakpoint (px) field to keep the desktop bar visible down to a narrower width.
The new range this opens up (between your breakpoint and 768px) is narrower than a standard desktop — turn on Menu overflow navigation too, so top-level items don’t wrap in that range.
Example: breakpoint = 600 with Menu overflow navigation on:
| Screen width | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Below 600px | Mobile / hamburger menu |
| 600px – 768px | Desktop Mega Menu, arrow button keeps items on one row |
| Above 768px | Desktop Mega Menu, standard behavior |
These two settings are independent, and only affect the Desktop Mega Menu — not the Tabbar, FAB, Slide menu, or Mobile Mega Menu.
Question 2: How can I show my Desktop Mega Menu as a Slide menu on mobile?
Sometimes you want the classic responsive approach: build one Desktop Mega Menu and let it collapse into a Slide (Hamburger) menu on mobile automatically, instead of building a separate mobile menu from scratch.
You only maintain one menu — the desktop version. The mobile copy follows automatically, with no second tree to keep in sync.
Mobile-first is how navigation should be designed today — phones bring most visits and often most revenue. A tree squeezed down from a wide desktop bar is really desktop-first: too many taps per link, dropdown-style groups that read poorly as a stacked list, no room for mobile-only shortcuts.
For a store’s main navigation, a menu designed for mobile from the start — a dedicated Slide, Grid, or TabBar menu — is usually worth the extra maintenance.
Middle ground: mirror the Desktop Mega Menu into a Slide menu with
Smart responsive(steps below), and add a TabBar item that opens it directly. Set the item’sLink Tofield toopen:NaviMenu(SF-xxxxxxxxxx)(Business / Elite) — using the Slide menu’s embed ID — so mobile visitors get a real bottom-bar entry point instead of a hidden hamburger icon.
Set up Smart responsive
Open your Desktop Mega Menu → Setting → Mobile → card Smart responsive. It embeds a live reference of this menu into a Slide menu — you keep editing content here only, and the mobile version updates automatically.
- Click
Copy embed itemto copy this menu item template. - Paste it at
level 1of an existing Slide menu — or create one first if you don’t have one yet.
Multi-column layouts are flattened automatically: columns become one vertical list, column titles are dropped, and a divider line is inserted where separate columns used to be — so visitors reach every link in one tap instead of two.
Once embedded, the card shows This menu already shows on mobile with a link straight to the Slide menu, so you can check it anytime.
Fine-tune the mobile copy
- Hide desktop-only items. Open the item on the Desktop Mega Menu →
Visibility→ turn onExclude when embedded. It stays on desktop and disappears only from the mobile copy. - Add mobile-only items. The Slide menu isn’t limited to what the reference brings in — add regular level-1 items right next to the embedded one for things the desktop bar doesn’t need: a call/WhatsApp button, store hours, a language switcher, or links that normally live in the theme header or footer. These live directly in the Slide menu and don’t touch the desktop version at all.
