<p>PDF Menu Linker is a small admin-only plugin that makes it easy to add and manage <strong>PDF links in navigation menus</strong>.</p>
<p>It adds a dedicated <strong>PDFs</strong> panel to <strong>Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menus</strong>, and a <strong>Replace PDF</strong> control on PDF menu items, so you can swap files without recreating menu items or touching URLs manually.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>PDFs panel on the Menus screen</strong> – Select a PDF from the Media Library and add it directly to any navigation menu.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic link text and title</strong> – Link Text and Link Title fields default from the PDF filename (without the extension), and can be edited before adding.</li>
<li><strong>One-click Add to Menu</strong> – Creates a standard custom menu item that opens the PDF in a new tab, using WordPress core menu APIs.</li>
<li><strong>Replace PDF on existing items</strong> – For custom links that point to a <code>.pdf</code>, a <strong>Replace PDF</strong> button appears next to the URL field so you can change the file without changing labels.</li>
<li><strong>Native WordPress UX</strong> – Uses WordPress’ Media Library, menu editor, styling, permissions, and nonces. No custom tables or front‑end changes.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>A user role with permission to manage menus (typically users who can <code>edit_theme_options</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<h4>Add a new PDF menu item</h4>
<ol>
<li>In the WordPress admin, go to <strong>Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menus</strong>.</li>
<li>Ensure a menu is selected (or create one and save it).</li>
<li>In the <strong>Add menu items</strong> column, open the <strong>PDFs</strong> panel.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Select PDF</strong> and choose a file from the Media Library (PDFs only).</li>
<li>Optionally adjust <strong>Link Text</strong> and <strong>Link Title</strong>.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add to Menu</strong>.</li>
<li>A new <strong>Custom Link</strong> pointing at the PDF will appear at the bottom of the menu structure and will open in a new tab on the front end.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Replace the PDF for an existing menu item</h4>
<ol>
<li>In <strong>Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menus</strong>, locate a <strong>Custom Link</strong> whose URL ends with <code>.pdf</code>.</li>
<li>Expand the menu item.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Replace PDF</strong> next to the URL field.</li>
<li>Choose a new PDF from the Media Library and confirm.</li>
<li>The URL field updates to the new PDF, while <strong>Navigation Label</strong> and <strong>Title Attribute</strong> remain unchanged.</li>
</ol>

<p>This plugin will add various options to implement off-canvas sidebars in your WordPress theme based on the Slidebars jQuery plugin.</p>
<h4>Overview / Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add off-canvas sidebars to the left, right, top and bottom of your website.</li>
<li>Use sidebar areas (widget-ready areas), menu locations or <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Actions-&-Filters" rel="nofollow ugc">custom hooks</a> to place content into the off-canvas sidebars.</li>
<li>You can add control buttons with a widget, menu item, <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Shortcodes" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode</a> or with <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Theme-setup" rel="nofollow ugc">custom code</a>.</li>
<li>Various customisation options and settings available in the Appearances menu.</li>
<li>Extensive API for <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/PHP-API" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP</a> and <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/JavaScript-API" rel="nofollow ugc">JS</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compatibility (IMPORTANT!)</h4>
<p>The structure of your theme is of great importance for this plugin. Please read the <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/Theme-setup" rel="nofollow ugc">installation guide</a> carefully!!</p>
<p>This plugin should work with most themes and plugins although I can’t be sure for all use-cases. Also note that at this point it’s still a 0.x version…<br />
If the plugin does not work for your theme, please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list and I will take a look!</p>
<p><strong>Fixed elements (like sticky menu’s)</strong><br />
There are known issues with fixed elements and Slidebars. <a href="https://github.com/JoryHogeveen/off-canvas-sidebars/wiki/fixed-elements" rel="nofollow ugc">Wiki</a><br />
I’ve created two possible solutions for this:</p>
<ol>
<li>Legacy CSS solution. Use basic CSS2 positioning instead of CSS3 transform with hardware acceleration.</li>
<li>JavaScript solution. It is slower but still allows the use of hardware acceleration for animations.</li>
</ol>
