This request is made only when a Google Font is explicitly configured by the site administrator. The font name and the visitor’s IP address are sent to Google as part of the standard HTTP request. * Terms of service: https://developers.google.com/terms * Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Font Awesome icons are bundled locally within the plugin and do **not** load from any external server. ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin from **Plugins Installed Plugins** 3. Go to **MenuX** in the admin menu 4. Build your menu and copy the shortcode `[menux]` 5. Paste `[menux]` wherever you want the menu to appear #### Requirements * WordPress 5.8 or higher * PHP 7.4 or higher ## FAQ ### How do I display the menu? Use the shortcode `[menux]` in any page, post, widget or block. The same menu is shown everywhere; for multiple menus in the same site, use the Import/Export feature to manage separate configurations. ### Can I have different menus for different pages? Not in the free version. Use role-based visibility or per-item device/page conditionals to adapt the menu per context. Full multiple-menu support is available in the Pro version. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. You can insert `[menux]` as a shortcode block in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and most other builders. ### Does it work with caching plugins? Yes. The menu HTML is generated server-side and compatible with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache and similar plugins. ### How do I add Font Awesome icons? In the menu builder, each item has an icon field. Type the FA class name, e.g. ` fa-solid fa-house`. The Font Awesome 6 library is loaded automatically. ### Is it compatible with WPML / Polylang / TranslatePress? Yes. This plugin automatically detects installed multilingual plugins and lets you set a label per language for each menu item. ### Where is the mobile breakpoint? Go to **MenuX Style Layout Sticky & Advanced** and set your preferred pixel breakpoint. Default is 768px. ### Can I use custom CSS? Custom CSS editing is available in the Pro version. In the free version you can rely on WordPress theme CSS or child-theme stylesheets to target the `.menux-container` wrapper and its child elements. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Giuliomax Menu Builder” is open source software.
