    The pro version of this plugin is a disaster. As soon as you activate it, it renders your menu items invisible. Also to get the full benefit of it you have to install the Classic Sidebar plugin as the block version is terrible.

      Thank you for your feedback!

      The PRO version is definitely not supposed to render menu items invisible. Our support team will be happy to assist in resolving.
      The blocks actually contain all the same functionality as the widgets, just with some improved UI controls. The documentation is super helpful for understanding the controls.

    Well supported and kept up to date. Works with the new version of WordPress.

    Matched my theme styles without any customization. The accordions are a nice touch but I only use them on some sites.

    I’m using full site editing (FSE) with the Advanced Sidebar Menu blocks in my custom sidebar templates. Simple and functional.

    I have used the Advanced Sidebar Menu plugin since 2016 and never had any problems.
    Quite possibly the most stable plugin I have ever seen.

    Efficient and Stylish! This plugin is a game changer. It seamlessly enhances my website’s navigation with its sleek design and user-friendly customization options. Setting up a polished and organized menu has never been easier. A definite must-have for any website owner.

    I’d love to have a plugin like this but I can’t make it work. Best I can do is make a list of categories, but I can’t get it to list individual posts within a category. Tried everything. Nothing works. Not even sure if it’s supposed to display individual posts in a category. There’s no information in what might be laughlingly called ‘Documentation’. I spent a large chunk of my day trying to make this thing work and it simply does not work.

    Brilliant Support! Got me sorted in under 2 hours. With other plugins, I’ve waited as much as 3 days for a response. Turns out if you want to set a background gradient for the whole menu you have to use the block instead of the widget. Not an issue once you know about the transform button. Much more than I was expecting from a plugin.
