## Description

DynoMenu helps you create dynamic WordPress menus that stay in sync with your content.
Build menus from posts, pages, categories, custom taxonomies, WooCommerce product
categories, or existing WordPress menus, then place them anywhere with a shortcode.

Instead of rebuilding navigation by hand every time products, categories, or content
changes, DynoMenu generates the menu from the source you choose. It is useful for
stores, blogs, directories, resource libraries, and any site where navigation should
follow content structure.

#### What DynoMenu Can Generate

 * WooCommerce product category menus
 * WordPress category and taxonomy menus
 * Post, page, and custom post type menus
 * Menus based on existing WordPress menus
 * Nested dropdown menus with configurable submenu depth

#### Styling and Layout Controls

DynoMenu includes built-in appearance controls for menu layout, typography, colors,
spacing, submenu styling, mobile toggles, and close buttons. You can preview changes
in the admin screen and publish the menu with the `[dynomenu]` shortcode.

#### Good Fits

 * WooCommerce stores that need product category navigation
 * Content-heavy WordPress sites with changing categories or sections
 * Sites that need shortcode-based menus inside pages, builders, widgets, or templates
 * Site owners who want configurable menu styling without writing custom CSS

DynoMenu works with or without WooCommerce. WooCommerce support is optional and 
is used only when WooCommerce is active.
