What should I do if the toggle menu isn't appearing on mobile?

If the toggle menu isn't showing up, check if you've enabled the Responsive Mobile Menu toggle in the Mobile Menu tab. This setting is crucial for displaying the toggle button on mobile devices. Additionally, ensure that you've selected 'Toggle' from the Menu Type dropdown. If these settings are correct and the menu still doesn't appear, verify that the Navigation Menu widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor is properly installed and activated.

What are the best styles to use for the toggle button?

When setting up the toggle button, you can choose from various styles in the Toggle Style dropdown. Using a custom icon or image can enhance user experience by making the toggle more visually appealing.
