<p>The New Nine Menus Manager adds a section to the ‘Appearance -> Menus’ section of your dashboard so you can quickly and easily create and delete menu locations on the fly.</p>
<p>Why? Because we’re tired of jumping back and forth between our functions file and the dashboard. Because we’re tired of writing <code>register_nav_menu</code> over and over again every time we start a new site.</p>
<p>And because there seems to be a disconnect here – just about every site needs to have a navigation menu, there are no configuration options for <code>register_nav_menu</code>, and it just seems to make sense to be able to create and delete menu locations in the dashboard.</p>

<p><strong>Single Site & Network Compatible</strong></p>
<p>The New Nine Menus Manager works on both individual sites and WordPress Networks.</p>
<p><strong>MU Compatible</strong></p>
<p>The plugin is also <strong>Must Use</strong> compatible for both single sites and network installations.</p>


New Nine Menus Manager

Register new menu locations right from the menu screen. Never write register_nav_menu again and keep your functions file clean!

<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Two new Navigation Block (variations) for:
<ul>
<li>Mobile</li>
<li>Desktop</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Style your menu differently depending on screen size.</li>
<li>Use a different menu for each screen size.</li>
<li>Customize the “breakpoint” (where you switch between mobile and desktop).</li>
<li>Automatically switch editor to “mobile” preview when editing the mobile navigation.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>This Plugin creates two block variations from the Navigation block which will be <strong>automatically hidden/shown at the configured screensize</strong> (breakpoint):</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigation (Mobile) – will be displayed only on smaller screen sizes.</li>
<li>Navigation (Desktop) – will be displayed only on larger screen sizes.</li>
</ul>
<p>This affords the ability to <strong>independently style mobile vs desktop navigation</strong> and even allows for <strong>completely different menus</strong> to be used.</p>
<p>The Plugin should be used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install and Activate the plugin – two new block variations will be automatically registered for “Mobile” and “Desktop”.</li>
<li>Go to the Editor and remove any existing Navigation block.</li>
<li>Add the “Desktop Navigation” block – style and configure the menu for “desktop” as required.</li>
<li>Add the “Mobile Navigation” block – style and configure the menu for “mobile” as required.</li>
<li>View the front of your website and resize your browser to see the navigations swap out at the appropriate breakpoint/screensize.</li>
</ul>
<p>Alternatively you can transform the default Navigation block to either <code>Mobile</code> or <code>Desktop</code> variations via the block’s interface.</p>
