Overview
This WordPress mega menu plugin enables you to build tailor-made site navigation menus in Gutenberg.
Note: this WP navigation block is made for the full-site editing experiences in WordPress. Until full-site editing is available in Core, the plugin provides limited options since it can’t fully integrate with the navigation menu.
The WordPress navigation menu plugin adds a few free mega menu Gutenberg blocks for different purposes:
- Mega menu block.
- Mega menu item block.
- Plain menu block.
- Plain menu item block.
The mega menu item block is very flexible – it allows you to add drop-down menus that can handle any WordPress block, giving you full control over the look and feel of your menus.
How you can approach the WordPress mega menu plugin:

Usability issues backend/frontend
by georg03·7 months ago·1 reply
Hello,
thanks for creating a block based mega menu! I use this plugin in a couple of projects together with WP default themes Twenty Twenty-Five and Twenty Twenty-For and want to address some usability issues in front and backend.
- When creating a menu in FSE editor in a Header template part the dropdown/submenu is usually not visible when you click on a Menu Item. You have to scroll to view all items. The desired behaviour would be to see the whole submenu as shown in the WP plugin “Sreenshots” section.
- When you click on a Plain Menu item placed in a submenu it actually links within the Header Template to the linked page. I then see the frontend of the website within the Header Template which is apparently a bug. When I want to go back I get an error message and need to exit and re-enter the FSE editor.
- It would be nice to add also a menu-is-open class to body in order to make it non-scrollable when opening the menu.
- Currently the menu is not WCAG compatible, there are no aria attributes and you can not navigate through keyboard with TAB, Enter/Space, ESC.
Thanks,
Georg
Lacks a demo
by Manuel Schmalstieg·7 months ago·2 replies
First of all, thanks for providing a mega menu plugin that supports block themes and Full Site Editing 🙏
It would be very helpful if this plugin had a documentation page with some examples of how it should look.
I tried to use it to build a mega menu, and found that the mobile version has a major usability issue : the toggle button to show the mega menu is way too small, only 20px wide.
Maybe I didn’t built it correctly ? Hard to say without a demo that I could compare to.
PS: I opened an issue on the github repository, with a screencapture that shows the problem.

Vraiment bien

Le plugin parfait pour faire des méga menu en mode Gutenberg. fonctionne vraiment bien.
le Bloc “mega menu” fonctionne bien, par contre erreur sur le “plain bloc” sur la version actuelle 1.0.6

Was perfect for Block site
by toledogeeks·2 years ago
This plugin saved the day for my plunge into building a custom block theme. The alternatives were ugly, huge mega-menu builds that are not easy to implement for a smaller site.
Simple to use and keep it simple

Simple to use. I hope more people start using FSE/block-theme-friendly mega menu plugins.
The mobile menu toggles should change to the ones from core navigation block.
The “Plain Menu” block works the same as the core Nav block (did I miss something?)
