Mobile Header

The header builder is responsive, so you can customize the header for mobile and tablet devices as well.

To do so, click the ‘Tablet/Mobile’ tab as you can see on the screenshot below:

The mobile header doesn’t inherit the components from the desktop menu. There’s also a left sidebar that refers to the off-canvas menu.

In the Tablet/Mobile mode, two additional components are available:

  1. Menu Toggle: Adds a menu button that toggles the mobile off-canvas sidebar
  2. Off-Canvas Menu: Displays the main menu inside the off-canvas mobile sidebar

Note: Since Botiga Pro v1.2.1, the mobile Off-Canvas Menu component has a new option to display products categories. Click on the below link to to learn:
