Description

This WordPress mega menu plugin enables you to build tailor-made site navigation menus in Gutenberg.

Note: this WP navigation block is made for the full-site editing experiences in WordPress. Until full-site editing is available in Core, the plugin provides limited options since it can’t fully integrate with the navigation menu.

The WordPress navigation menu plugin adds a few free mega menu Gutenberg blocks for different purposes:

  • Mega menu block.
  • Mega menu item block.
  • Plain menu block.
  • Plain menu item block.

The mega menu item block is very flexible – it allows you to add drop-down menus that can handle any WordPress block, giving you full control over the look and feel of your menus.

How you can approach the WordPress mega menu plugin:

  • The mega menu block is a container that can handle only mega menu items, which, in their turn, can handle nested drop-downs, i.e. contain any other blocks.
  • Plain menu blocks can contain plain menu items that can handle drop-downs with other plain menu items.
  • The width, color, font size, layouts (horizontal and vertical) of some navigation blocks are fully customizable.
  • You can optionally transform a WordPress navigation menu into the “hamburger button” for mobile devices.

Thank you!

This plugin was very useful for adding a megamenu to my shop, I had to modify it a bit but the result is excellent! Definitely does not deserve this rating, keep it up guys!

Lacks a demo

First of all, thanks for providing a mega menu plugin that supports block themes and Full Site Editing 🙏 It would be very helpful if this plugin had a documentation page with some examples of how it should look. I tried to use it to build a mega menu, and found that the mobile version has a major usability issue : the toggle button to show the mega menu is way too small, only 20px wide. Maybe I didn't built it correctly ? Hard to say without a demo that I could compare to. PS: I opened an issue on the github repository, with a screencapture that shows the problem.
