Description
UnoDock adds a fixed navigation bar to the bottom of your site on mobile — the same familiar pattern used by the apps your visitors already use every day. 2 to 6 buttons, fully your own: pick the icons, the colors, the links, and the order, without touching a line of code.
Whether you run a blog, a store, or a membership site, UnoDock gives mobile visitors instant access to the pages that matter most — no more hunting through a hamburger menu.
Why UnoDock
- Built for mobile, built for speed — assets only load when the bar actually shows, so there’s zero impact on desktop visitors or pages where the bar is hidden
- Genuinely customizable — solid colors or gradients, your own icon set, your own layout
- No external dependencies — every icon is bundled locally, nothing is pulled from a third-party CDN
- Works with any theme — UnoDock renders independently of your theme’s markup

FAQ
-
Does this work with any theme?
-
Yes. UnoDock renders its own fixed bar independently of your theme’s markup, and only appears on mobile-sized screens by default.
-
Does it slow down my site?
-
No. Styles and scripts are only loaded on the frontend when the bar is enabled and set to display on the current page — nothing loads on pages where the bar is hidden.
-
Does UnoDock load anything from external servers?
-
No. All icons and fonts are bundled locally with the plugin. No external CDN requests, no third-party tracking.
-
Is WooCommerce required?
-
No. WooCommerce is only used for the optional cart item count badge (PRO), and the plugin works fully without it.
-
Between 2 and 6 — the same on every version. Beyond 6, bottom nav bars stop being comfortable to use on a mobile screen.
-
Can I use my own icons?
-
UnoDock includes a library of 296 icons covering most common use cases.
-
Will UnoDock PRO overwrite my settings if I upgrade?
-
No. Activating a PRO license simply unlocks the additional options — your existing buttons and settings stay exactly as you configured them.
-
Does UnoDock work with page builders like Elementor?
-
Yes. UnoDock operates independently of the page content and any builder you use.
-
I bought UnoDock PRO, what do I do?
-
UnoDock PRO is a separate, standalone plugin — it doesn’t upgrade the free version automatically. Before installing it, go to Plugins Installed Plugins, deactivate “UnoDock – Mobile Bottom Navigation”, and delete it. Only then install and activate UnoDock PRO. Having both versions installed at the same time isn’t supported and will prevent the PRO version from working correctly.
-
Where can I get support?
-
Free version: through the WordPress.org support forum. PRO users get priority support directly from UnoizeStudio.
