In the **Open Mobile Menu(Screen Width)** section, you can specify the minimum width for enabling the mobile menu.

3. If you’ve selected **Manual Menu** in the **Navigation Bar**, then you’ll see two options in the **Mobile Menu **dropdown -

- **Standard** - For using a WordPress menu as the mobile menu.

- **Custom** -  For using your custom menu as the mobile menu.

Let’s select **Standard** here.

> *Note: If you’ve selected ****WordPress Menu ****in the ****Navigation Bar****,**** ****then you’ll only get the ****Standard**** option in the ****Mobile Menu ****section.*

4. Select your menu from the **Select Menu** dropdown.

> *Note: For the ****Custom**** option you won’t get this option as your custom menu will be the mobile menu.*

5. Then, from the **Menu Type** section, select **Swiper**.

From the **Navigation Alignment** section, you can align the mobile menu items.

Now you’ll see a swiper menu for the mobile menu.
