It’s here! Introducing Menu Designer, a powerful new way to build beautiful mobile menus and dropdown menus in the @WordPress block editor — no coding required.
🔮 My prediction: this will become the way we build menus in WordPress.
Check out the landing page and the thread below to learn more about Menu Designer.
I’ve also created a full video tutorial showing you how to get started building beautiful menus.
The dropdown and mega menu building capabilities are pretty wild – you can add images, multiple columns, rich content, whatever blocks you want.
Plus, smart edge detection so your menus never get cut off and hover intent to avoid finicky drop downs.
Mobile navigation has been completely unlocked.
Instead of just plain text-based menus, you can now create rich mobile menus with your logo, CTAs, even video if you want. Your mobile menu can actually be part of your site’s design now.
If you’re using the free Ollie theme (and frankly, why wouldn’t you be?), I’ve included a bunch of pre-designed menu patterns so you don’t have to start from scratch.
These are all ready to be dropped in, customized, and published.
Ready to give this thing a spin? There’s a few ways to get started.
Firstly, Menu Designer is already available for Ollie Pro subscribers. You’ll find a link to download the plugin in your account area.
Not an Ollie Pro member yet? Let’s fix that: olliewp.com/pro
Oh, and it’s open source! So if you don’t have Ollie Pro, you can can still browse the code and install it directly from GitHub.
