## Description

Cascading Mega Menu for Elementor adds a powerful, fully customizable mega menu 
widget to Elementor.
 You can visually build multi‑column, multi‑level navigation
where hovering an item reveals its children in the next column.

**Key features:**

 * Unlimited nesting depth – build simple two-level menus or complex cascading structures.
 * Pure Elementor workflow – configure menu items, parents, and links directly in
   the widget panel.
 * Smart column layout – each depth level automatically appears as a new column.
 * Submenu indicators – configurable icons for items that have children.
 * Modern styling controls – typography, colors, padding, column width, separators,
   and more.
 * Responsive – columns stack vertically on mobile for better usability.

The widget is designed to feel native to Elementor and requires no custom code from
the end user.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Elementor?

Yes. Cascading Mega Menu for Elementor is an Elementor widget and requires the Elementor
plugin to be installed and active.

### Will this work with any theme?

The widget is built using standard WordPress and Elementor practices and should 
work with any properly coded theme.
 Styling may vary slightly between themes, but
you can adjust typography, colors, and spacing from the widget controls.

### How do I create nested (child) menu items?

Each menu item has a **Parent Item Title** field:

 * Leave it empty to create a **top-level** item.
 * To create a **child** item, type the exact title of the parent item into **Parent
   Item Title**.
 * You can repeat this process to create as many levels as you need.

### Does the menu support external links and nofollow?

Yes. Each item uses Elementor’s **URL** control, which supports external links (`
target="_blank"`) and `nofollow`.
