Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Advanced Sidebar Menu PRO makes managing your menus fully automatic. With just enough options to get the job done, this WordPress plugin is extremely lightweight and easy to use.

Here are some features we think you will like.

 

Accordion Menus

Accordion Menus take your menus to the next level by giving your users the ability to open and close sections of your menu. You can choose to keep all your menus closed until a user clicks an icon or just leave the top levels open. Choose the icon style and color that matches your site and you’re ready to go.

Style Options

Give your menus some style to dress them up to match your site. You can choose different styles for different levels on your menu. You can select a bullet style for your menu with seven styles to choose from, or select none to show no bullets. You can even style the current item or parent of the current item separately. Intuitive color pickers make choosing colors easy. Be sure to try out the “block styling” option.

Custom Post Types and Taxonomies

Create menus from the post types and taxonomies your site supports. Works out of the box with any public, hierarchical post type of taxonomy your site supports. Use a simple dropdown to select your post type or taxonomy and the rest is automatic. This is commonly used for things like WooCommerce product categories.

Navigation Menus

Turn your custom menus into sidebar menus by using the Advanced Sidebar Navigation Menu widget. Any menu created within Appearance -> Menus may be used with this widget! Want to add some styles or maybe an accordion? No problem, this widget supports all style and accordion options, as well as options to display the current items only.

Link Adjustments

Ever wanted to change the text displayed in the menu? Now you can! This plugin creates simple options available on every page which let you customize how it is handled. Changing the text is as easy as entering it into a field. Excluding a page from all menus is done with single click checkbox.

Priority Support

Priority support is having your own support team standing by to make sure you are successful. In-depth troubleshooting, guidance, styling assistance, extending, and filtering are just a few things included with Priority Support. You also get access to the members only support area.

 

Any purchase gives you unlimited sites, support, and updates.

60 reviews for Advanced Sidebar Menu PRO

  1. lynda.halley –

    Our organization is working to convert 3 support documents from InDesign > PDF to WordPress. Each of these documents include at least 60 pages. Converting the pages has been hours of work but building a sidebar TOC was a SNAP with Mat’s Advanced Sidebar Menu (and we got the PRO version)!

    And, he answered a support question super-quick.

    Thank you, Mat! YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK!

  2. wyatt –

    This is exactly what I need. Mat good sir, you’re a God send. All the 5 star reviews for you!

  3. Jerod –

    Version 3.1 makes me happy! I use this plugin on all sites I design. I could always make the menu do what I want with filters, now I click checkboxes.
    Thanks again for the years of great support!

  4. Ian –

    Many thanks Mat. Excellent service.

  5. Wade K –

    Blown away by the level of support. I have never seen support this thorough and prompt.
    Using this plugin on every site I make.

  6. Amy –

    All listed features work fine. I would have liked the plugin to use WordPress Menus instead of automatically generating menus.

    • OnPoint Plugins –

      I’m sorry to hear the plugin does not have all the desired functionality. WordPress has a widget built in called “Navigation Menu” which allows you to use a WordPress menu as a widget. As a pro customer you automatically have priority support available. Please reach out to me via the contact form and allow me to help you style the Navigation Menu widget.

    • OnPoint Plugins –

      I wanted to stop in to let you know that the PRO version now supports WordPress Menus.
      Enjoy!

  7. Taylor95 –

    So many choices I thought, is this plugin going to make me coffee as well?
    I am not a nerd and was worried I would not know how to use the choices. I used the customizer to try out the widget choices. Uber easy to understand, I figured it all out easy.

  8. Jeremy S –

    I use this for WooCommerce categories! Fantastic!

  9. Bozz –

    This is a great replacement to the JC Submenu (RIP) plugin.

  10. Finn –

    Erstaunliche Unterstützung! Danke Mat

  11. WayneM1 –

    Very helpful site navigation plugin for website with large number and complex hierarchy of pages.

  12. Lenny Lucas –

    Ask and you shall receive! I mentioned an idea for a feature that doesn’t exist and presto Matt added it within a few days! Simply magic.

  13. Syedus Manahmed –

    I love WordPress but used Joomla because it allow custom menu per category. But this plug-in solved my problem. Now I can show different menu according to categories. Great Job by the Developer!

    DVersion 4.5.0 Needs some modifications:
    ===
    Number of parents to display __
    (0 to hide; 100 or all displays all)
    Number of levels of child pages to display:

    Current __ (maximum)
    Parent 1 __
    Parent 2 __ (grand parent)
    Parent 3 __ (grand-grand parent)
    Other grand-grand parents displays without children
    include only _____ (blank or if not exists to include all)
    exclude _____
    ========
    Now the number of children to display starts from highest parent, but not from current item.
    Show parent without children doesnt work.

  15. Phantasmix –

    Does the job well. Super easy to configure. Thanks!

    P.S. When include parent page option is checked, the children don.t show up. Not sure if its a theme-related glitch. The plugin does what I need otherwise.
