Taxonomy Submenu Block allows you to create dynamic submenu structures inside the Gutenberg Navigation block by simply selecting a taxonomy. All terms inside the chosen taxonomy automatically appear as submenu items.
Unlike the default WordPress submenu block, this plugin gives you complete styling freedom — you can customize every part of the submenu, including submenu container, submenu items, text, backgrounds, hover effects, spacing, borders, typography, and more.
Perfect for blogs, LMS websites, ecommerce stores, real-estate portals, directories, or any site where taxonomy-based menus improve navigation.
