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.

Hello, thanks for creating a block based mega menu! I use this plugin in a couple of projects together with WP default themes Twenty Twenty-Five and Twenty Twenty-For and want to address some usability issues in front and backend. When creating a menu in FSE editor in a Header template part the dropdown/submenu is usually not visible when you click on a Menu Item. You have to scroll to view all items. The desired behaviour would be to see the whole submenu as shown in the WP plugin « Sreenshots » section. When you click on a Plain Menu item placed in a submenu it actually links within the Header Template to the linked page. I then see the frontend of the website within the Header Template which is apparently a bug. When I want to go back I get an error message and need to exit and re-enter the FSE editor. It would be nice to add also a menu-is-open class to body in order to make it non-scrollable when opening the menu. Currently the menu is not WCAG compatible, there are no aria attributes and you can not navigate through keyboard with TAB, Enter/Space, ESC. Thanks,Georg

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.

Le plugin parfait pour faire des méga menu en mode Gutenberg. fonctionne vraiment bien. le Bloc « mega menu » fonctionne bien, par contre erreur sur le « plain bloc » sur la version actuelle 1.0.6

This plugin saved the day for my plunge into building a custom block theme. The alternatives were ugly, huge mega-menu builds that are not easy to implement for a smaller site.

Simple to use. I hope more people start using FSE/block-theme-friendly mega menu plugins. The mobile menu toggles should change to the ones from core navigation block. The « Plain Menu » block works the same as the core Nav block (did I miss something?)

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!
