9. FAQ

Mega Menu: If you want to change columns in mega menu after import demo content you should enable Class and Description in Scren Options(Apperance->Menu->Little triangle at top right)
Then edit menu item named column holder- in the class section you will see col23- thats 20% width column with right margin.
You can use columns like: col30,col40,col50,col60. That is 30% width, 40% etc. If you want to add some html to the menu item add it in Description area.
