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 WordPress custom menus into sidebar menus by using the Advanced Sidebar - Navigation widget or block. Any menu created within Appearance -> Menus may be used! Want to add some styles or maybe an accordion? No problem, these menus support 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.

    What an amazing product.
    I purchased the Pro version and does exactly what I want.

    Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best!

    I couldn’t get the menu to show up in Elementor.

      I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience using the plugin with Elementor.
      We do have many users who have been successful using this plugin with Elementor currently. Normally, if there is an issue with Elementor it turns out to be a small widget settings change that is needed.
      Please reach out to support so we can get this working for you.

    This is a very adaptable plugin. Now we can have the links we want on each page: Links to all of the main pages via the WordPress menu, and links to sub-pages with the Advanced Sidebar Menu. Now, instead of building a separate website for each of our Instructors, we can simply give them a few pages on the main website, and use the Advanced Sidebar Menu to provide links to only their pages. We haven’t experienced any problems with this plugin, it does the job just the way we expected it to.

    Having auto-generated menus based on page hierarchy is an amazing feature that should be incorporated in WordPress! This is an amazing plugin. More importantly, it is great for developers since the author has selectors to identify how deep you are in the hierarchy (parent/child/grandchild) making CSS very clean and easy, without nesting.

    Very useful and easy to use. When I ran into an issue this week, the plugin author looked at my site individually and updated the plugin to solve the issue. Couldn’t be happier.

  7. Delores –

    The only menu plugin that doesn’t make my site run slow! I LOVE this plugin. 🙂

    I needed to create a sidebar menu for a client of ours that matched the footer navigation.
    This plugin did just what I needed.

    5 stars to you!
