Kato Salient Mega Menu
A WordPress plugin that adds a custom 3-column mega menu to sites built with the Salient theme (Nectar). The panel replaces the default Salient dropdown for any top-level nav item you opt in, turning it into an interactive, image-rich flyout with three distinct columns.
Requirements
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.0 |
| PHP | 7.4 |
| Salient / NectarThemes | any version that ships NectarArrowWalkerNavMenu |
Note: The plugin degrades gracefully if the Salient walker class is not present — it falls back to the core WalkerNavMenu.
Installation
1. Copy the plugin folder into wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate Kato Salient Mega Menu from Plugins Installed Plugins.
3. No settings page is required. All configuration happens inside Appearance Menus.
How the Mega Menu Works
When activated on a top-level menu item, the mega panel renders as a 3-column grid:
| Column | Content |
|---|---|
| Preview | Featured image, title, description, and CTA link — updates dynamically as the user hovers over a level-2 item. |
| Level 2 | The direct children of the top-level item listed as clickable links. The first item is active by default on panel open.
