Enable mega menu for a menu is a WordPress ability from ElementsKit Elementor Addons — usable via Easy MCP AI, which connects Claude, ChatGPT, and any AI assistant to your site.
Install Free Plugin →Enable mega menu for a menu
WriteTurn ElementsKit's Mega Menu feature on or off for an entire nav menu location.
Requires the ElementsKit Elementor Addons plugin (elementskit-lite) with Elementor active, on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when wp_register_ability() exists). Read-only listing abilities require 'edit_posts' (list-widgets, list-templates, list-library-templates), 'manage_options' (list-custom-widgets), or 'edit_theme_options' (list-mega-menus); write abilities that target a specific Elementor document (insert-widget, insert-template, import-library-template) require 'edit_posts' plus 'edit_post' on that document; template, header/footer, custom-widget, and mega-menu creation/configuration abilities require 'manage_options' (create-mega-menu additionally requires 'edit_theme_options'); create-page requires 'edit_pages' or 'edit_posts'.
What it does
Given a menu_id (a nav menu term id), this ability flips the menu-wide Mega Menu switch on (default) or off via the enabled input — the same toggle exposed in the WordPress Menus screen. It must be enabled before any individual menu item's Mega Menu panel (configured via update-mega-menu-item) will actually render on the front end.
