Installation

lanznavfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the ZIP from Plugins Add New. - Activate LanzNav.
- Open LanzNav from the main WordPress dashboard menu.
- Choose an existing WordPress menu and configure the navigation.
- Save your changes.
FAQ
-
Yes. Enable theme-navigation replacement and confirm the supplied selector in a preview. The original menu is not deleted, and replacement activates only when LanzNav has usable menu items. The default selector supports common block-theme and Elementor header containers.
-
Yes. Use the LanzNav block or the
[lanznav]shortcode. The legacy[superb_navbar]shortcode remains available so existing pages continue working after the rename. -
No. LanzNav does not include analytics, licensing, remote font loading, or external API requests.
-
Is a build process required?
-
No. All distributed PHP, JavaScript, and CSS files are the human-readable source used by WordPress directly.
-
What happens to themes saved before version 1.0.3?
-
Legacy theme names are mapped conservatively to the closest current theme. Existing custom colors, radius values, and border widths are preserved; only a deliberate theme selection applies a complete new palette.
