This one gets it done – simply
by blue_Shift·2 years ago
I got what I needed from the free version but as I know and trust this developer from previous excellent work on a different CMS platform, I bought pro to support. Unlike the others, the free version doesn’t take over your site or prompt you with nagware. That alone is worth the reasonable fee. Highly recommended.

Works almost perfect
by Anonymous User·4 years ago
I’m running a custom theme with a fixed position header and the menu button would not display. Some fairly minor CSS additions to bring the menu to the front solved my problem and it now works great.
Very pleased whit it, highly recomended.

In my view, this is the best WP responsive menu so far. It was intelligently designed whit an uncomplicated user friendly interaction. The tool is ideal for the non-professional amateurish DIYfer. Congrats and special thanks to Chris Mavricos.

Fantastic with no nasty surprises!
by Kazam Creative·4 years ago
I’ve been using ShiftNav on every new website I create now for the past few months and figured it was time to leave a review.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using this plugin, it works perfectly “out of the box” and is not heavily limited like other plugins (ones that are almost forcing you to buy the pro version) which I love.
Well done to the developer, you’ve created a great plugin here!
Really Good Plugin
