All Column Types

Every mega menu column — whether inside a Classic Mega Menu or a Shop Menu tab — can be assigned one of several types. This page is a complete reference for each type and how to configure it.

Normal List

A simple heading followed by a vertical list of links. The most common column type.

Fields

  • Title of the List (optional) — appears as a styled heading above the list
  • List items — each item has a label, link, and optional icon

Creating a Normal List

  1. In the column type selector, choose Normal List.

  2. Type the list title (or leave blank to omit).

  3. Click + Add Item for each row. Set the label, link, and optional icon.

  4. Reorder items by dragging the grip handle on the left of each row.

List with Inline Images

A richer list where each item includes a thumbnail image and a short description. Ideal for visual navigation — showcasing categories, services, or destinations.

Fields

  • Title of the List (optional) — heading above the list
  • List items — each with an image, label, link, and description

Creating a List with Inline Images

  1. In the column type selector, choose List with Inline Images.

  2. Click + Add Item.

  3. For each row: pick an image from the WordPress media library, set label and link, and type a short description.

Tip Inline image thumbnails render at 60×60 pixels. Use square images with a clear subject — they become a tiny visual anchor, not a product photo.

Multiple List

Subdivides one wide column into 2 or 3 smaller lists arranged side-by-side. Use this for wide columns (6/12 or wider) where a single list would look empty.

Fields

  • Sub-column Count — 2 or 3 sub-columns
  • Each sub-column — heading + list items

When it's available

Multiple List only appears in the column type selector for wide columns — typically size 4/12 or larger. Narrow columns (2/12, 3/12) cannot be subdivided.

Image Link

Replaces a column with a single clickable image. Perfect for seasonal promotions, featured collections, or visual call-outs that break up a text-heavy mega panel.

Fields

  • Image — picked from the WordPress media library
  • Link — where clicking the image leads
Tip Image Link columns are great anchors for campaigns — but use them sparingly. One or two per mega panel keeps the visual hierarchy clear.

Image + List

A header image followed by a linked list beneath. Combines the visual punch of an image with the utility of a linked list — a "featured + related" pattern.

Note Image + List is available in both Classic Mega Menu and Shop Menu tabs.
