[@webprimedesign]

Great tutorial - I had a few issues when using option 1 within a website already created using sections rather than containers. My solution was to create the template as 'page' instead of a 'section' and within the template, I changed the page layout to Elementor Canvas in the page settings. This gave the desired effect of a full-screen menu on mobile without the header and footer.

[@UNIWASH-AB]

how did you edit the CSS so it works with your page-solution? :)

[@bySterling]

Unique modern mobile menus have been a top design priority for years! Great tutorial as always Jeffrey and thank for reminder about Crocoblock, I’ve been a Pro member for years but haven’t used their plug-ins on sites lately so will bring aboard more in 2023 client sites

Hi Jeffrey. Thank you for this step by step tutorial. I'm having the issue of the slide out not overlapping the post below. Can you please tell me what I did wrong?

[@patricksuchy3212]

Love the videos man, so helpful! Honestly you've been a ton of help on this journey. How would you prevent scrolling from happening when mobile menu is open? I'm trying to make a header by combining this video and the header that shrinks on scroll video you made. It's also shrinking the menu logo on scroll.

Is it possible to split the menu in two rows? I mean, when the menu button is clicked, opening a menu which contains 2 columns inside, with different backgrounds. Thanks in advance if you can answer!

[@dvrkcanis9373]

I have a problem with my submenu indicator, it always stays black even if i change font color of the nav menu.

[@morgancotten]

Good morning, Nice video, thank you! Small problem on my side: I added the Menu hamburger icon by following all the steps with the online setting like everything else (Logo and Desktop Menu), with a Horizontal Alignment: "Space between". However on mobile, the Hamburger logo and icon remains stuck in the middle of the column, the "Space between" setting is visibly canceled by a line of code in the HTML or CSS. Can you please tell me what I could try to modify in these codes? In advance, thank you very much!

Hi Bro, I have a question, when I set the width: %80 menu position appears middle of the screen, question that is how can I set position menu section right or left, as in crocoblock hamburger menu? Thanks for tutorial by the way. Keep go on.

[@andre_di]

He tenido que hacer unos cambios en el css para que funcione al 100% y depende del dispositivo (sobretodo en tablet-ipad) todavía se observa un poco la página de abajo del menú, como si la opacidad no fuese del 100% ni estando el z-index a 101... pero por el momento cumple. Es genial que hagas videos así para practicar y tener nuevas ideas. ¡Gracias!

[@CryptonXplorer]

Thanks Jeffrey! This works great as long as we don't use the Sticky header option. Visually it will work but you'll get the following 2 page errors in the DevTools console: Duplicate form field id in the same form. Violating node: Any idea on how this can be fixed? Thanks!

[@Kazoompie]

One question! Everything works perfectly fine. But the middle line for the hamburger menu is thicker. Didnt touch your code and the display:block still has a height: 2 px;. Do you know how to fix it and get 3 lines that have the same height? Regards Ivan

[@m_cruz]

Hello excellent my congratulations. I have a question. When you put it in mobile mode, the button or label (.lytbox-button) disappears from the field of vision and is only up to 770 of screen width, below that it disappears and you cannot exit the menu. Could you please check it and help me to solve this problem.

[@SamWereb]

Well done. Never mind the SEO aspect, the nav tag @14:45 is crucial for accessibility compliance if you're using that widget for a navigation menu.

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks and for sure, that nav tag is important!

[@arnaudchappuis3413]

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial! It's a shame that Elemontor doesn't have this kind of option. I used this method because I have a menu with a transparent background that becomes opaque when you scroll on the page. On the Mobile version there is no possibility to have a directly opaque background, so there was a strip and then the drop down menu underneath, not very nice. Anyway I don't know if my explanation is clear but thanks to your method it looks much better now!

How would I set a custom icon for this instead of the hamburger icon?

[@expressisverbis854]

Great tutorial as always but how to combine this with a sticky header and color change BG? When the hamburger menu needs to change color? In the CSS to this seems to be a typo. It says hamburguer instead of hamburger a few times. Is this on purpose?

[@geoffreycarmody]

Great tutorial on the different ways to create this mobile menu! . Quick question, using the Nav module if you apply a link to the your "about" menu dropdown text in Appearance - Menus to say, go to an about page, but also have the dropdown sub menu items. When you close the "about" text by clicking it on mobile. It will bring you to the about page instead of simply closing the dropdown first. Would you have a workaround for that?

[@siqbee-web-developer-designer]

Have you found the solution to it?

[@lipsunglassesaustralia8483]

Perhaps there is a scroll enable code I need to add?

[@elev8tdwebdesign]

[@tilemachosmanos2606]

Thank you very much Jeffrey for this. We really appreciate it. I followed all the steps very carefully and by the end of the whole process on the Desktop dimensions everything works perfectly, exactly as shown in the tutorial. However, when I switch to tablet and mobile modes, the whole header from end to end disappears. However its space still exists, but just as a blank white space. I'm using Astra Theme, do you think it's probably a bug?

[@LytboxStudio]

That’s strange. I haven’t tested on Astra yet. Can you try switching to Hello theme and see if that still happens? And if possible, share a link here and I can take a quick look

[@TimDuppen]

Nice one :) but it possible to close the slide with the escape button for accessibility (WCAG)

[@vmiyeli]

Hi Jeff, many thanks for your tutorial ! Appreciate it :) I would have a question regarding the scrolling down capability. When I open the dropdown of my menu, things are opening and pushing elements below. then these elements are going out of the window. I am trying to scroll down but this is scrowling down the page in the background, not the menu itself. Is there any possibility to implement a menu scrolling down feature ? How would you do that ? Thank you !! Best regards (continue your video, it helps very much !).

Hi have the same issue - have you found a way to solve it? Thanks :)

[@andrunistor4433]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you! I went ahead and modified just two parameters of the css code to have the menu display only on 65% of the screen width to the right. Wondering what would I have to add/change to the code to have the menu hide, if the users click outside of the menu, not only when it hits the X.

[@FredericoPeres]

And if the user clicks in the nav item, the menu should closes too. But I think it's only possible via javascript.

[@backpackcruiser1509]

Hi Andrunistor! I'm trying to do this... which two parameters of the css code have you modified to accomplish that (display only on 65% of the screen width to the right)?

Jeff, please help. I tried to use the menu with an anchor on my own page, but unfortunately it doesn't disappear, it stays open. Also, when the menu bar is too long, the bottom is cut off, the bottom items from the submenu are not displayed, maybe it can be solved so that the menu bar can be moved up and down? But the anchor is most important, why doesn't it close when I click? Thank you very much for the tutorial, it's a big help.

Is it possible that this is not working with the new mega menu? Some how can't get the menu stay open. Even if I set the layout to dropdown and then to additional settings no breakpoint. Any ideas?

[@LytboxStudio]

Could be a conflict with a plugin or the set up. Not sure I would use a mega menu widget for this. Megas are hard to use for mobile. Have you tried the WordPress Menu Widget? And try deactivating other plugins to rule out a plugin conflict

[@JamesRMackay]

@LytboxStudio - thank you Jeffrey for this great video. I took the second option and extended it, within my template I used the Jet Blocks Mega Menu, which gave me the ability to use icons within the menu. Really pleased with the results. The one thing that I wish was possible was to be able to shift the position of the label on the Hamburger Panel element. I guess it is possible to dive into the code, but it would look nicer if you could place it under the hamburger menu button. Ah well, again thanks so much for the inspiration. Thanks again.

[@thibaudherbert3144]

thanks a lot for this tutorial, however i have problem. I don't use links but # to redirect to a section of my page. But once i click on a link, the menu does not close automatically, so it's confusing because when you click the menu is still displayed but nothing seems to happen. But the scrolling effect applies well, but you need to close the menu to see it. Do you know how to make it close automatically after clicking on a link ? I would really appreciate that !

[@siqbee-web-developer-designer]

Have you found the solution to it?

[@backpackcruiser1509]

This is wonderful Jeffrey! But definitely lacking usability/feedback by missing a way to close the menu "automatically" after clicking/touching on the menu item (menu item either linking to a same page section or to a new page). Not right having to close the menu to see if the click/touch worked. Has anyone solved that problem?

[@LytboxStudio]

You can adjust the width of the slide out and tap the empty space or the close button to close. And it should close when going to a different page. I’ll test again later and update the code snippet to make sure it’s working right. To have the menu close for anchor link in the same page will need a whole other set of code. I already have that video recorded and will be out this week

[@P4TTT]

It seems a little buggy and not working as proper... The 'X' button is often not where it should be, there are layout difficulities. On Chrome iOS there is no slide out as well. Actually this is prepared for containers enabled, and if you did not build your layout using cotainers enabling it can mess up your site.

[@clementborisov7050]

I feel like it's just better to straight up modify everything you have by your default settings with css. I can set up every font type and color from the theme customizer and simply reuse it with css by using the var() function. I can add awesome hover effects, or add effects to my hamburger menu just by using css.

How cool is that! Why do you think the Elementor popup/off-canvas menu is not good for SEO purposes? If you could only explain how it affects the website. Thanks!

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks and great questions! Everything in the popup is not in the source code that Google can crawl so Google can’t see the menu and it doesn’t get indexed. Only when triggered does the code with the menu get pulled into the source code. If you have your desktop menu set up, it’s not too big of a problem because Google can read that. But if you are only using a popup menu for desktop and mobile then then it is. I’ve also heard issues of popup blockers effecting the popup menus.

Jeff, I'm using pop up to create a slide menu for mobile. Is that a bad practice for SEO?

[@LytboxStudio]

I use pop ups too. But they are not good for SEO because the menu on them can’t be seen by Google to index. If you have a good desktop menu set up right then you should be good and it won’t hurt the SEO on your site. But if you use a popup for both desktop and mobile it’ll for sure impact your SEO. I’ve also heard about popup blockers blocking El’s popups. I’ve never ran across it personally but something to consider.

Another fantastic tutorial, @Jeffrey. By the way, why not using a popup instead of "complex" CSS code to open the mobile menu?

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks @Francois and great question. The issues with using the popup for mobile menus are the SEO - Google can’t read your menus since they don’t appear in the source code until the popup is triggered. This causes problems with indexing your sitemaps. And some popup blockers can block the popups. It’s rare but I’ve heard of it happening. And off-canvas solution is much better

It’s best to not have your menu links open in a new tab. Only time I have links open in a new tab is if the links are external such as social media links. That will solve it.

isn't easier with popups in elementor like that we don't need javascript ?

[@LytboxStudio]

Yep, it's easier, but this is better for SEO. All depends on the projects to choose the best method that fits.

Where can I get that plugin? :) Sorry had to be the first smart arse.. Nicely put together. Best thing is no JS, so no double tap on mobile when using delay JS :) Well done dude.

[@LytboxStudio]

Haha good one! I wanted to found a CSS only solution that was as minimal as possible. I tried over a dozen. If my coding skills were as good as yours I’m sure it would be even cleaner 👨‍💻

[@seanjones]

Any way to stop the page from being scrollable when the menu is open?

[@LytboxStudio]

There is but it would require some JS. I’ll the blog shortly and add a JS snippet

Thank you, let me know when you’ve added it if you can, that’d be really helpful

Why not just use popup feature that comes with elementor and trigger it on humberger icon?

[@LytboxStudio]

That’s another option but it’s not SEO friendly and has a few other issue. This method is better for SEO and a cleaner way for mobile menus.
