Advanced Sidebar Menu Pro

Choose where page, category, and navigation menus appear

Advanced Sidebar Menu Pro offers Gutenberg blocks for page, category, and navigation menus. Add a block to page or post content, a widget area, the Theme Customizer, or the Site Editor wherever WordPress supports blocks. Widgets are also available for classic widget setups and page builders, including Elementor and Beaver Builder.

WordPress relationships determine which items appear

Page and category menus use parent and child relationships already defined in WordPress. The current page, post, or category sets the context. Depending on the selected settings, a menu can include the current entry, its parent, child items, grandparent, grandchild, or first-level related children. The Pro edition also supports navigation menus, custom post types, and custom taxonomies.

Category menus can appear on single post pages based on the categories assigned to the current post. Each category can appear in a separate widget or block, or the categories can share one list.

Display options define menu content and levels

• Customize link text for page, category, and navigation menu items.
• Exclude a page from all menus using a checkbox.
• Set how many page levels appear when always displaying child pages is disabled.
• Choose the ordering for category menus.
• Select and display custom post types and custom taxonomies.
• Choose whether to display the highest-level parent or a menu containing only that parent.
• Choose whether child pages or categories always appear, and select their levels.

Styling and accordion settings control appearance and behavior

Click-and-drag controls let you style page, category, and navigation menus. Set link color, background color, size, hover appearance, and font weight. Separate options cover various link levels, the current page or category, and its parent. Block styling options include borders, border width, and border colors. Choose from seven bullet styles or remove bullets.

Accordion controls are available for page, category, and navigation menus. Choose the icon style and color, whether sections stay closed until clicked, whether to include the highest-level parent, and whether links open and close sections.

Install the plugin and configure a menu

Install Advanced Sidebar Menu Pro in WordPress, then add the appropriate page, category, or navigation menu block or widget to a supported location. Choose the content relationships, display levels, ordering, exclusions, styling, or accordion settings for the website structure. The menu is generated according to the current page, post, or category and the selected options.
