🛠️ How It Works

Creation: You use the standard WordPress Appearance > Menus area to create your menu structure and links.

Activation & Global Settings: You enable the Slick Menu for that specific WordPress menu and set global styles (like menu position: Left or Right, default animation, etc.).

Individual Level Styling: You can then override the global settings for each sub-menu level to give them unique widths, colors, background videos, and animations.
