 * Hi Tom,
    thank you for the amazing plugin. Actually I bought a theme (Uplift 
   by Swiftideas [http://uplift.swiftideas.com/](http://uplift.swiftideas.com/) )
   and that theme comes with your plugin. The theme comes with several header options,
   but the one I need of course not available instantly: I need a mega menu on the
   left side of the header (similar to this: [http://shop.lululemon.com/](http://shop.lululemon.com/))
 * One of their header has an option to add short codes to certain parts of the 
   header – that is what I need. So I created a short code menu using this [https://www.maxmegamenu.com/documentation/integration-options/shortcode/](https://www.maxmegamenu.com/documentation/integration-options/shortcode/)
   added the shortcode, but unfortunately it does not works as expected. The styling
   of the text does not follow the theme’s main setup and the menus are underneath
   each other too.
 * This is how it should look like: [http://i.imgur.com/9yizaJy.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/9yizaJy.jpg)
   and this is how it looks now: [http://i.imgur.com/pDoikXC.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/pDoikXC.jpg)
 * I am developing locally at the moment…
    If you could point me in the right direction,
   that would be much apprciated.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi Marou,
 * Please see the ‘Mega Menu’ section on this page: [http://uplift.swiftideas.com/documentation/](http://uplift.swiftideas.com/documentation/)
 * “We have built-in compatibility for this plugin, but have overridden their frontend
   css/js to better implement directly with the theme.”
 * You will need to contact the Uplift developers for help with this (I did warn
   them previously that stripping out the core plugin functionality will cause problems
   further down the line).
 * Regards,
    Tom

 * Hi Tom, I have contacted them but they want me to custom develop the functionality
   that I need… Hmm interesting… How about if I remove the included Max Mega Menu
   plugin and upload your from here? Would that make a difference?

 * Hi marouwing,
 * I don’t know exactly what they’ve done. I suspect the plugin they’ve included
   is the same as the ‘official’ one, but they have code inside the theme that alters
   its behaviour.
 * You would need to ask the theme developers how to remove that code and get MMM
   working as standard. As a paid for customer of the theme they should be able 
   to spend some extra time with you to get what you need.
 * Regards,
    Tom
