    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu.open  .dropdown-menu {
        visibility: visible;
        opacity: 1;
    }
    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu ul.dropdown-menu li.dropdown .dropdown-menu {
        position: relative;border: 0;
        right: 100%;
        left: 10px;
    }
    .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu ul.dropdown-menu  .fa-angle-down:before {
        content: unset;
    }
    .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu{
         position: unset;
     }
    .spice-custom ul { 
        position: relative; 
    }
    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu ul.dropdown-menu li.dropdown .dropdown-menu li.dropdown {
        padding: 0;
        vertical-align: top;
        width: 100%;
    }
    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu .dropdown-menu { 
        box-shadow: unset;
    }
    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu .olivewp-mega-heading > a { 
        font-weight: 900;
    }
    .spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a {
        color: #FFFFFF;
    }
    .layout1.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu li > a, 
    .layout2.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu li > a, 
    .layout1.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a:focus, 
    .layout1.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a:hover, 
    .layout1.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a, 
    .layout2.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a:focus, 
    .layout2.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a:hover, 
    .layout2.spice-custom .spice-nav .olivewp-mega-menu .open > a {
        color: #000000;
    }
    .spice-custom .olivewp-mega-menu .dropdown-menu {
        min-width: auto;
    }
}

Step 2: Go to Appearance >> Menu and create a new menu or use the existing menu.

Step 3: Need to create the menu structure such as the parent item, child item, and grandchild item.

  • Parent item: The item that displays on the main navigation bar.
  • Child item: The item that displays below the parent item as a series and those are shown as the heading/main menu of the mega menu.
  • Grandchild item: The item that displays below the child item.

Step 4: Now, the menu structure is created then open the parent item and add the olivewp-mega-menu class.

If you don’t see the CSS Classes input field, see the below screenshot.

Step 5: Now, we save the change then the results show look as below screenshot.

If you want to show a child item as a heading of the mega menu, need to add the olivewp-mega-heading class to the child item.

We have shown the mega menu by default in 3 columns. If you want to change the column layout of the mega menu, need to add another class to the parent item. Below shown the column classes:

olivewp-mega-1-col
olivewp-mega-2-col
olivewp-mega-3-col
olivewp-mega-4-col

For example, If you want two columns, the class would look like this:
