 * I tied it with themes, Twenty Fifteen, Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Thirteen, it
   worked every time. Can you please let me know what theme you’re using so that
   I can help you out?

 * Hmm, That’s odd. Let me test it on the twenty fourteen theme.
 * I’m using the Klean theme

 * I checked it out with Klean theme as well, and its still working. I think you’re
   trying to use the Custom Link option in the Menus page, but instead, make use
   of the ShortCode item, since this ShortCode is giving out complete HTML with 
   link and text.
 * Check out these screenshots for help

 * Ah! I did that…
 * I just pasted the below shortcode into the second box, clicked “Add To Menu”

 * Afterwards, when I try to click on the link in the site, it doesn’t do anything…

 * Ah! I found out why it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work with Max Mega Menu plugin.
