Styling Responsive Menu Items

Styling responsive menu items are very easy with the options available in the responsive menu pro plugin.

Font Icons

With ‘Font Icons’ setting you can use a dedicated icon for each menu /sub-menu item to make it look more attractive and appealing. In this section, you are provided with 3 fields in every row. Each row is specifically dedicated to each menu item and you can add as many rows as you want with ‘Add Font Icon’ button. Every row contains 3 fields; 1st field is for selecting a menu item from the dropdown, 2nd field is for determining the icon symbol and 3rd field is for what type of font icon you want to use. Currently, we support Font Awesome, Glyphicon and custom icons. For a guide on implementing icons in your menu and for more info please visit our dedicated doc page here.
