BB Mega Menu makes building complex, flexible mega menus feel just like working with WordPress content.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin adds a Mega Menu custom post type. Each Mega Menu is built using the block editor, giving you full access to any WordPress block: Columns, Groups, Images, Buttons, Lists, Media & Text, Covers, and more. There are no layout restrictions and no proprietary UI to learn.<\/p>\n\n

To activate a Mega Menu, simply create a Mega Menu post and give it the same title as a menu item in your site\u2019s classic menu or Navigation block. When the labels match, BB Mega Menu automatically converts that menu item into a button and injects the Mega Menu\u2019s block content directly into the menu markup on the frontend.<\/p>\n\n

This approach keeps menus content-driven, reusable, and easy to maintain, while letting designers and editors use familiar WordPress tools to create rich navigation experiences tailored to their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the bb-mega-menu<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Appearance \u2192 BB Mega Menu to adjust settings.<\/li>\n
  4. Create a Mega Menu post whose title matches a navigation item label.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    How do I connect a Mega Menu to a nav item?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Create a Mega Menu post and make sure its title exactly matches a navigation item label. The plugin replaces that label\u2019s link with a button and injects the Mega Menu content.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this work with the Navigation block?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. The plugin targets core\/navigation-link<\/code> blocks and injects the Mega Menu content.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this work with classic menus?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes. Classic menu support targets the primary<\/code> theme location and works with the default WordPress menu walker. If a theme uses a custom walker that bypasses the walker_nav_menu_start_el<\/code> filter, the mega menu injection won\u2019t run and the theme may need a small adjustment.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Where do I configure the settings?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Go to Appearance \u2192 BB Mega Menu.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What settings are available?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Header \/ Nav Height Offset, Panel Padding, Z-index, Enable Default Styling, Panel Background, Panel Shadow, and Transition Speed (ms).<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What data does the plugin collect?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    None. No tracking or external requests are made. The only stored data is the local settings option.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
