This plugin provides a metabox on posts and pages listing existing WordPress Menus. The end user is allowed to choose one and make it associated with the post or page via meta data.
Practically speaking, Featured Menus work exactly like Featured Images. The Post or Page and Featured Menu are merely attached, and you must use a template tag or WordPress functions to render the Menu.
Please see <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-featured-menus/other_notes/" rel="ugc">Other Notes</a> for examples.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Page or Post meta has a key called <code>_wp_featured_menu</code>. A very simple way to render the menu is like this:
<pre><code><?php
 $meta = get_post_custom();
 wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => $meta['_wp_featured_menu'][0] ) );
?>
</code></pre>
A better way might be to test for the value first:
<pre><code><?php
 $meta = get_post_custom();
 if ( is_numeric( $meta['_wp_featured_menu'][0] ) ) {
 wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => $meta['_wp_featured_menu'][0] ) );
 }
?>
</code></pre>

Add Font Awesome 4 icons to your WordPress menus and site without touching a single line of code! With this plugin, just add fa-(icon name) as a class/classes to your menu and the plugin will pull that out, put the icon before or after your link text, and wrap your link text in a span so you can show or hide it as you see fit.
In Font Awesome 4 Menus, we have added the ability to add multiple Font Awesome classes for multiple effects (eg, fa-home fa-fw fa-2x will add a fixed-width home icon at two times the normal size).
In addition, we have given you shortcodes to add icons to your posts and pages, as well as shortcodes to take advantage of the new stacked feature of Font Awesome 4.
