How does the menu tree work in the Mega Menu extension?

In simple terms, Mega Menu items can be categorized into two parts: the default Magento product categories and custom menu items.

Categories

When it comes to product categories, the Mega Menu extension mirrors the category hierarchy established within the default Magento setup. It automatically displays all the categories and their respective levels as they have been structured in your Magento store. 

To make changes or introduce new categories and subcategories to the menu, simply head to the Catalog → Categories page in the default Magento configuration. Utilize the category tree block to implement your desired changes:



There's also a possibility to hide particular categories from the frontend menu. Please consult this article for instructions on how to achieve that: Is there a way to limit what items are displayed in the Mega Menu?

As a result, the menu will render the identical category structure:



Feel free to create as many category levels as needed; our extension will display all of them.

If the menu doesn't display subcategories for some reason, please ensure to review the article titled The child categories are not displaying in the menu.

Custom Menu Items

Apart from the standard Magento categories, our Mega Menu extension offers the capability to include custom menu items that are not linked to Magento categories. Such items allow you to integrate personalized content such as internal and external links, icons, animation, custom item hierarchy, and more.




Such items are displayed along with the product categories:



You can access the feature in Content → Amasty Mega Menu → Custom Menu Items. Detailed instructions on how to work with custom menu items can be found in our user guide.
