 * Could someone please explain how to insert a shortcode into a drop down mega 
   menu? I am trying to insert a map of our business location on the “about Us” 
   drop down and a few other things.
 * Thanks for any help

 * Hi moor,
 * Try adding a Text widget to the menu, then paste the shortcode into the text 
   widget.
 * If you just see the shortcode itself when you view the menu, try adding this 
   to your themes functions.php file:
 *     ```
       // Use shortcodes in text widgets.
       add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );
       ```
   
 * Alternatively you could install this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/)
 * Regards,
    Tom
