SideMenu
This plugin works really well with new FSE (Full Site Editing) themes such as Twenty Twenty-Two. Check out the menu in the Rye website for an example real-world use of this lightweight plugin!
This plugin will inject a responsive SideMenu sidebar and menu location into your theme that you can add widgets to.
The SideMenu is opened by clicking on a menu button that you can add to any menu in your site.
When the SideMenu slides open, the entire site is dimmed and slid to the left.
The SideMenu is closed by either clicking the close icon at the top right of the SideMenu, clicking on the dimmed site or by scrolling down.
This plugin can also hijack the existing mobile menu button within your theme if required. Themes that already work with this feature are …
