Problems with Mega Menu

I'm having some problems with mega menu.
1) I need a single button for some items (no category or sub-menu, but in hamburger mode my home button for instance doesn't show up at all. There are two more that don't show at all.
2) With simple menus, is there a way to show and bold the button contents (like the categories)? At the moment there is no button content, just the sub items.
3) Again, with simple menu, the first two lines (opposite the quit 'X' in mobile mode) are not interactive.
I have checked the help but I can't find any answers to these questions.
I am using Mega Menu because I can include lots of links in columns and rows, without u sing up lots of width with sub and sub sub-menus like now with ResponsiveMenu, so if this is the way that Mega Menu is, and it's not my fault, can you recommend an alternative method please?

1. To display a single button, set the menu layout to 'button only'
2. You can use 'columns only' and create only one category.
If you need assistance then please share demo project so I can see all your settings.

Thank you.
I have changed (2) so that I have a category and one page but it looks a bit naff to have a heading that says 'About us' and then one line to choose that says' About us' and as well, point 1 still applies, the first two lines on the hamburger menu are not interactive. I previously put 2 lines of text there but users might well think that the links are not working.

No, it still doesn't allow me to have just a button that goes to one page. The best I can do is a button that drops down another button that will have the same text on for the link. Do you have any other suggestions please?

If you add one sub link then the extension will display a single button.

I found that in hamburger mode, when the Home button is clicked, the sub-menu item comes up, it doesn't go directly to the page as it does in Responsive Menu. But the Mega Menu does allow a mass of links without sub-menus and sub-menus. If I could get the Bootstrap Menu to have what it already has AND be able to click a couple of buttons that go direct to a page in desktop and hamburger versions, that would be perfect.

A menu that has sub items should not have a links on the main button. The 'click' can do only one thing. It's either a link or open the drop down menu.

Responsive menu does. See
thebritishschoollanzarote.com/page2.html About us and Headteacher go directly to one page, and Events/dates give a drop down menu.
As I said, I really need a menu that does have the option of just a button as well as drop downs like Responsive menu, but the possibility of lots of links in columns like Mega Menu or Bootstrap Menu.
I suppose I'll have to stick with responsive.
Thanks for your help though.

As mentioned, in the Bootstrap Mega Menu you can display a single button without a sub menu by only adding one link.
