Overview

A default menu often looks the same as every other site and offers little room for design. XT Slick Menu Pro gives you a vertical menu you can shape to your brand. You can set custom widths, nest menu levels without a limit, and add background images or YouTube videos to individual levels, with control over playback and opacity.

Everything is styled inside the WordPress customizer, so you see changes as you make them. The layout is responsive and adjusts to desktops, tablets and smartphones. It suits one-page portfolios, blogs and corporate sites, and includes practical tools such as a search box, smooth scrolling to anchored sections, and a developer API for custom behavior.

Features

  • Unlimited menu levels: Create nested menu levels with no cap. Each level can have its own options and a custom width, which leaves room for images, videos or widgets inside the menu.
  • Background images and video: Add background images or YouTube videos to menu levels, with control over playback and opacity, so the navigation can carry visual content.
  • Live customizer preview: Style the menu inside the WordPress customizer and watch changes appear in real time, without leaving the dashboard.
  • Animation options: Choose from 14 menu appearance effects and over 45 menu item animations to control how the menu opens and how its items move.
  • Animated hamburger icons: Pick from 14 hamburger styles and adjust the size, color and positioning to fit your header layout.
  • Icons and Google Fonts: Use Font Awesome, Dashicons, or SVG and image icons on menu items, and set your typography with Google Fonts to match your branding.
  • Search box and smooth scroll: Add a customizable global search box to the menu, and enable animated scrolling to anchored sections, which suits single-page sites.
  • Developer API and demos: Developers can open, close and toggle menus and add event listeners. Pre-built demos such as Full Screen Menu and Pizza Menu give you a starting point.
