Adding content via widgets is easy, but takes several steps. The basic process is to (1) Create a Menu Item (2) Set the Menu Item’s Widget Area (3) Populate the Widget Area with Widgets. You should think of a single menu item, which contains a single Widget Area, as a full-width row in the submenu of the menu. Multiple widgets in a single widget area automatically create columns within that row.
By default, widget areas will expand to fill an entire row, meaning that they will always start a new row. If you would like your widgets to share a row with non-widget menu items, the width of the widget area will need to be manually adjusted. See Changing the width of a widget area
- Set the number of Widget Areas you are going to use via the Control Panel Appearance > UberMenu > Descriptions, Shortcodes, Widgets > Number of Widget Areas. It must be set to at least 1 to use widgets.
- Save the UberMenu options with your new Number of Widget Areas.
- Create a Menu Item (or edit an existing menu item) – second level menu items work the best
- Expand the UberMenu Options and select a Widget Area in the dropdown next to Display a Widget Area
- Save your Menu
- Navigate to Appearance > Widgets
- Add Widgets to the Area that you selected in step 3, UberMenu Widget Area X
- Note that you may use shortcodes within text widgets.

Naming your widget areas
By default your widget areas will be named sequentially as “UberMenu Widget Area #”. If you want to tag them with something more memorable, provide your desired names in the control panel. They will be applied in order.
