Hey there,
I needed to create a multi column menu with Images and submenus beneath them. But I want to rows in it if I can. Also would like to be able to achieve the following. (See private content for examples)
1. Multiple Columns and Rows in Menu using images and text links side by side and under each other. At the moment if I achieve 2 rows using images only the second one is indented slightly even when setting the Class for the columns and even when not a submenu of the previous item.
2. Hover effect on images placed in menu (like the banner boxes in theme) See example links and visit their Shop menu item for example of how they lay out their menu and images have a slight effect. Also like how they allow things to be underlined as category headers with submenu items below.
3. Ability to add widgets into a column or row – good for placing banners and promo’s/voucher codes.
4. Ability to add a search box in menu (like the current header one)
5. Possibly add a Map for a contact page menu
Look forward to hearing your thoughts. 😉
Hello,
1. You can create a menu with images following the instructions written in our documentation:
https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/legenda/index.html#!/primary_menu
2. Unfortunately there is no hover effect option for images in menu.
3/4/5. To achieve this you may try to use some plugins for the menu as our theme doesn’t have such features. Sorry.

Hi Eva,
thanks for the fast reply!
1. Yeah I followed that but if using images and say I set 3 men items with et-col4 as the class on each – this means there are 3 in the menu. BUT if I then do the same for the next 3 so that I have a second row – they are then indented slightly meaning it looks poor and the 6th image actually beings a 3rd row. So really this is not all that great for me. Also, each menu column seems a little too close to the next – the padding could be better to make the layout look a bit nicer if setting it up this way.
2. No problem, could you not create a class that could be added to the image path to make this happen?
3/4/5. Oh that’s a shame, this theme is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of working with so congrats on that!! But really as the menu on E-commerce sites is a pretty major thing and trends are that they are becoming more informational aswell as navigational then this holds a few things back for me from a useability perspective. Granted, there are plugins, Ubermenu being one – but I would rather not have additional plugins risking compatibility issues 😉 All that said, I love the theme, but perhaps as it goes from strength to strength your developers could look into how this could be improved a little?
thanks for the time responding.
