Mega menu and mobile menu element for Bricks Builder: multi-level dropdowns, slide-in mobile navigation and a button-style last menu item.

== Description ==

**Bricksed adds a ready-made mega menu and mobile menu element to Bricks Builder.** Drop it into your header template and get a complete responsive navigation - desktop mega dropdowns, multi-level submenus and a slide-in mobile menu - built from native Bricks elements that you style with the controls you already know.

**IMPORTANT: This plugin requires the Bricks Builder theme (version 1.8.6 or higher) to be installed and activated.**
