Menu Image, Icons made easy

This plugin delivers exactly as promised!  I highly-recommend.

Very functional - Does exactly what it promises!

<p>Works really well, but the plugin spams the WP Admin with 'upgrade' messages and once dismissed, they come back again and again. </p>

Works, but constant messaging in admin


Tried a couple of plugins for adding menu images, so far only this one worked for me.



Also the support is top-notch.



Overall a 5-star plugin!


Best plugin so far

Adds an image or icon in the menu items. You can choose the position of the image (after, before, above, below) or even hide the menu item title.

Side Menu Lite – Sticky Floating Side Menu


Thank you very much for removing a feature without explicit notice, and even breaking my site!



Removing the icons from the free version without announcing beforehand is an ill move. And with the update, the side menu stopped working (just displayed the contents on the bottom of the page) until I went in to the menu configuration, did absolutely nothing and saved. Now it at least shows up again.



The icons are still listed as a feature, though. In the plugin itself, they are listed as a pro feature.



It was fun while it lasted. But how can I ever trust a developer who REMOVES features without prior notice?


Removing features without prior notice, breaking the site

Create a sticky vertical sidebar menu that enhances navigation and highlights important links on your website.
