Overview
Standard navigation menus often sit in one fixed spot, which limits where visitors can find quick links. Button Menu takes a menu you already have in WordPress and presents it as a set of buttons. Using a shortcode, you can drop that menu into a page, a post or any other area that accepts shortcodes, so key sections are easy to reach.
Setup stays simple because you can duplicate an existing WordPress menu with one click and adjust it from there. The plugin supports unlimited submenu levels, icons, two button styles and a choice of hover animations. Colors can be set per button and per hover state, and the layout is responsive and retina-ready, so menus look sharp on phones, tablets and desktops.
Features
- Shortcode placement: Display any WordPress navigation menu as buttons on any page, post or custom page by adding a simple shortcode where you want the menu to appear.
- Unlimited submenu levels: Build multi-tiered navigation with as many submenu levels as your site structure needs, so larger menus can stay organized inside the same button layout.
- One-click menu duplication: Copy an existing WordPress menu with a single click, then adjust the copy. This saves setup time and keeps menu items consistent across your site.
- Two button styles: Choose between the default style and the circles style to match the look of your site and the way you want the buttons to appear.
- Icons on menu items: Add an icon to each menu item to make buttons easier to recognize and to give the menu a clearer visual structure.
- 17 hover animations: Pick from 17 hover animations to give buttons an interactive response when visitors move their pointer over them.
- Custom colors per button: Set colors for each button and for its hover state, so the menu follows your brand palette instead of a fixed theme color.
- Responsive and retina-ready: Menus adapt to different devices and screen sizes and stay crisp on high-resolution displays. The package includes HTML, CSS and JS files for developers who want to customize further.
