    Hi I am considering the use of a Mega Menu linked from the topbar and one plugin I have seen is the Max Mega Menu. Do any others here have any experience of using this and do the theme developers have any comment/recommendations?

    Hi Denzel I will write my experiences for sure. For now, I will say I found Max Mega Menu very easy to use with a nice clean easy to use interface and very good support. However, this menu plugin does not suit my design in that I use several menus that are each page linked via the Topbar. UberMenu allows you to merge in these menus into the top bar via a Segment option and allows more customisations.

    One issue I am struggling currently with is the mobile UberMega submenu drop downs don’t always open in full. I have solved it via customiser on the tablet version by deselecting the Header and some css overflow adjustment. However, it appears I cannot deselect the Header in the mobile customiser to see if this fixes it… any ideas would be very welcome… http://www.sebeetles.com

    Having now been able to launch my Ubermenu onsite I have to say I am very happy with it and seems to work fine. The only exception is I still have not got to grips with the Hueman/Ubermenu responsive options settings. Working in the Customizer I seem to get some success in tablet mode by not having the Header active. In mobile/handy/cell mode dropdown items do not scroll into view still… any assistance by others who have used Ubermenu would be appreciated.

    Update at progress so far. I have found the best setting in Menu locations is Reveal On Scroll Up. and I have been advised to use Additional css – #header #nav-topbar{
    overflow:visible !important;
    }

    So far I have the menus as I wish however the Submenus are still cut off on mobile I believe by the Header height in Hueman (screenshot linked below). Perhaps Denzel you could take a look at this and see if you can advise?

    Ubermenu Support have now emailed me with this advice –

    ‘Hi Colin,

    It gets cut off because the theme sets the overflow to hidden:

    You can’t scroll it because the theme has a sticky mobile menu/header. See Sticky Mobile Menu Issues

    If you can disable the sticky mobile menu/header in the theme, I recommend doing so.

    You can add this CSS to prevent the theme from cutting it off and allow it to scroll:

    #header .nav-wrap{
    overflow:visible;
    }
    #nav-mobile.mobile-sticky{
    position:absolute;
    }

    Hope that helps.’

    The solution is to switch off all sticky menus, including sidebars, and use the additional css as above. One thing I didn’t appreciate was topbar stickys’ are switched off by visibility dropdowns not tick boxes in the customiser.
