Menu
Build a WordPress menu: three levels, a mega menu made like a page, in every language
The WordPress menu is a list of links. A menu worth having is more: an entry with a sign and a line under it, a panel that opens with pictures in it, three levels that still work on a phone. Here you build both — the list you drag, and the panel, in the same builder as a page.
The list
- Drag an entry; dropped to the right it becomes a sub-entry
- Three levels, still usable on a phone
- Pages, posts, categories or a link of your own
- Each entry shows which languages it exists in
- Several menus per site, one per header
Built like a page
- Entries with an icon, a badge and a line underneath
- A list under an entry — or a whole panel
- Build the panel with grids, pictures and buttons
- In a row, or stacked
- As wide as the content, or as wide as the screen
Templates
- A built menu as a template, shared by several headers (Pro)
- Five finished menus in the library to start from
- Change the template and every header follows
- Conditions, like any other template
- Exportable as a demo with the rest of the site
Drag it
The list anyone understands.
An entry goes where you drag it; drop it slightly to the right and it becomes a sub-entry. Behind each name sit small marks saying which languages it already exists in — and where one is missing, it is missing visibly. Pages, posts, categories and your own links go in, and you can keep several menus when the footer needs a different one from the header.
A mega menu
The panel under the entry is a page.
Some menus need more than a list: four columns with pictures, an offer, a search field, a button. You build that panel with the same blocks as a page and say whether it should be as wide as the content or as wide as the screen. On a phone the same panel folds out under the entry — you do not maintain a second mobile menu.
Build once, show everywhere
One menu, several headers.
Anyone with more than one header template — one for the shop, a narrow one for the blog — does not want to maintain the menu three times. A built menu can be saved as a template; headers place it, and one change reaches all of them. Five finished menus sit in the library, from a plain bar to a full panel.
Questions
Do I need a mega menu plugin?
No. The list you drag is in the free version; the menu built in the builder and the menu template are Pro, and in every Pro plan.
Does a mega menu work on a phone?
Yes. The same panel folds out under the entry there, in one column. You build it once and set it per screen size, like any other block.
Are the WordPress menus still there?
Yes. ambera works with the WordPress menus; a menu that already exists keeps existing, and the Menu block can show it.
How many levels?
Three. More becomes unusable for visitors — that is what the panel is for, and it takes as many columns as you like.
Are the entries translated?
Yes, into every language you switched on, and the list shows per entry which ones are already there.
