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.

    Thanks to developers, I just got what I wanted!

  3. Susan Klement –

    This plugin is very thoughtfully designed. Better than any other menu plugin I’ve tried. The widgets are brilliant. Always works through a great many uses on different sites. I would go so far as to say that it makes creating sidebars enjoyable.

  4. Jedd –

    The best menu plugins I have seen!
    The support is very responsive. Thank you.

  5. Deanne Holzman –

    Very helpful and well written plugin – Support is above & beyond expecations

    This plugin is extremely helpful in organizing our large site side navigation with many sections and sub sections. It’s also very customizable and easy to set up.

    It’s extremely well thought out and can be used right out of the box or heavily customized.

  6. Evaristo –

    Great Plugin! Well worth the money

  7. Estelle Silva –

    I absolutely love the Advanced Sidebar pro, but the support I get is even more wonderful. This is my first time building a website and at 2 occasions I couldn’t figure out how it worked and I send them a support request. Within almost minutes I got all the replies. They advised me very quickly, and even adjusted the settings in my widget, so it would work. First time they added an extra option, second time they changed something in my website.

    Thank you for all your help.

    And thank you for the wonderful plugin. I love it! And it is really easy to use.

    The menus offer plenty of style options for the majority of my projects. The documentation tells me the rest.

  9. Mercedes –

    Fantastic support A++++
    Above and beyond helpful. My issue turned out to be user error and the guys over here were polite and walked me through the widget settings without making me feel stupid. Way better than what I usually get from plugin companies.

    Not working at twentytwentyone theme.

    • OnPoint Plugins –

      This plugin does work with the twentytwentyone theme. In fact we have a whole test site dedicated to the twentytwentyone theme.
      It is worth noting that out of the box the twentytwentyone theme does not contain any widget areas besides the footer. As themes define their own widget areas, there not much this plugin can do about adding sidebar support to a theme.
      If you are unable to see the widgets in the footer, please see the FAQ section which explains the most common reasons why a widget does not show up.
