How to Show the Full Divi Menu Module Links on Mobile

Written by Dan Mossop

By default, the Divi Menu module shows the full menu on desktop and switches to the hamburger menu on tablet and phone. That usually works well, but for short menus, footer menus, simple landing pages, or custom layouts, you may prefer to keep the full menu links visible on mobile too. Showing the full menu on smaller screens can make navigation more direct, as long as the menu has enough room to fit neatly. This guide shows how to do it with Divi Booster or with some custom CSS.

Show the Full Divi Menu Module Links on Mobile with Divi Booster

Divi Booster adds a responsive “Show Mobile Menu” option to the Divi Menu module, letting you choose whether the full menu or hamburger menu is shown on desktop, tablet, and phone. This is the same setting used in our guide to showing the Divi Menu module hamburger menu on desktop, just applied in the opposite direction.

Install and Activate Divi Booster

If you haven't already done so, install and activate Divi Booster on your site. 

Customize Divi Without Code - Build Better Sites Faster

Our Divi Booster plugin adds 100+ new features and customization options to the Divi theme. It lets you modify layouts, modules, headers, and more – without writing code.

Open the Divi Menu Module Settings

Open the page, header, footer, or Theme Builder template containing your Divi Menu module.

Click the Menu module or its gear icon to open its settings.

Disable the Mobile Menu on Tablet and Phone

Go to:

Design → Layout → Show Mobile Menu

Disable the tablet and phone values for this setting.

This tells the Menu module to keep showing the full menu links instead of switching to the hamburger menu on smaller screens.

Check the Desktop Value

Desktop normally already shows the full menu links, so you can usually leave the desktop value disabled.

If you want a different setup, you can adjust desktop, tablet, and phone independently from the same responsive setting.

Save and Preview on Mobile

Save the module and preview the page on tablet and phone widths.

The Menu module should now show the full menu links instead of the mobile hamburger button.

Keep Going!

Once you've got the Divi Booster feature configured and the menu displaying fully on mobile, why not make your menu module even better? You can browse the full collection of Divi menu tutorials for other menu module ideas.

Show the Full Divi Menu Module Links on Mobile with CSS

If you only need a simple fixed change for one Menu module, you can use CSS instead. This method is lightweight, but it does not give you the responsive per-device setting inside the module like Divi Booster does.

Open the Menu Module Settings

Open the Divi Menu module you want to change.

Add the CSS to the Free-Form CSS Box

In the module settings, go to:

Advanced → Custom CSS → Free-Form CSS

Paste this CSS into the Free-Form CSS box:

@media (max-width: 1024px) {
  
  selector .et_pb_menu__menu {
    display: flex !important;
  }

  selector .et-menu {
    display: flex !important;
  }

  selector .et_mobile_nav_menu {
    display: none !important;
  }
}

Divi automatically replaces selector with the current module’s selector, so the CSS applies only to this Menu module.

Save and Preview

Save the module and view the page on tablet and phone widths.

The module should now show the full menu links instead of the hamburger menu.

Take it Further!

Once you've got the CSS in place an your menu is displaying fully on mobile, why not make your menu module even better? You can browse the full collection of Divi menu tutorials for other menu module ideas.

Conclusion

Showing the full Divi Menu module links on mobile can work well for short menus, footer navigation, and compact layouts where a hamburger menu adds unnecessary extra taps. Divi Booster is the more flexible option because it adds the control directly to the module settings, while CSS can work well for a quick one-off change.
