To do this, first, you have to create an Elementor template for the mobile menu.

Then add the Navigation Menu widget to the header template and follow the steps below. Once you have the Navigation Menu widget placed in the Elementor editor within your header template, configure the mobile menu settings as described.

> *Note: To create the header template, you can use the free *[*Nexter Builder*](https://nexterwp.com/docs/nexter-theme-builder-explained/)* or you can use Elementor Pro if you are already using it.*

1. After creating the desktop menu from the **Layout** and **Content** tabs, enable the **Responsive Mobile Menu** toggle from the **Mobile Menu** tab.

2. Then select an appropriate option from the **Menu Type** dropdown. The hamburger, slide, and dropdown options all work with the Elementor template approach. Do not select Off Canvas here, as that requires a separate setup process.

3. From the **Menu Content** dropdown, select **Template Menu.**

4. Then from the **Elementor Templates** dropdown you have to select your mobile menu template.
