How to Set Up Megamenu in the Carbon Theme

The Carbon Theme for WordPress includes a powerful Megamenu feature that is available exclusively for the Main Menu.

The Megamenu can be used for category items and offers six distinct styles and a column menu. Below, you will find a complete guide to setting up the Megamenu in the Carbon Theme.
