Menubar

Description

With Menubar you can easily build and manage single and multi-level menus for your WordPress site.

  • Build your menus selecting item types among Home, FrontPage, Heading, Tag, TagList, Category, CategoryTree, Page, PageTree, Post, SearchBox, External, PHP, Custom, in any combination

  • Display a menu inserting in your child theme, e.g. at the end of header.php, the following line:
    <?php do_action ('menubar', 'name of your menu'); ?>

  • Use the Menubar widget to display a menu in a sidebar or widget area

  • Use the shortcode [menubar menu='name of your menu'] to display a menu in a post or page, or in a page builder text block

  • To style your menus, select one of the default Menubar templates, customize your selected template, or add CSS with the WordPress Customizer

  • Customized Menubar templates can be moved into an independent folder, so you can upgrade to a new Menubar version without losing your changes

A detailed documentation is available on the plugin’s site, see for instance Menubar, and The Menubar PHP type tutorial.

I really like this simple to use menu plugin but had a problem removing the old default menu from my theme. 15 mins after asking for support Andrea logged into my site and removed the old menu and then told me what had been done and how to improve it. I am blown away by this great support as technically the problem was with my theme and not this plugin! Thank you Andrea, I am very grateful
