This section deals with the Container tab from the admin and attempts to document all the options available.

Ordering

The plug-in allows you to re-order and turn off items in the menu in a very easy and intuitive way. To re-order the items simply click and drag them around and to turn the various options on and off simply click the ON or OFF buttons to the left of each item.

Leaving the additional content or title text fields blank will automatically hide these on the front-end
