Great plugin for what it is – as a wrapper for the classic menu insert fn wp_nav_menu(), and so to be able to insert a classic menu into a full block theme. ?BUT ?….??
- The documentation is totally absent for who this plugin is for, how you use it , whats the prerequisites ???.. So the plugin provides a block to insert a classic menu? …So I assume you can insert a classic menu into a website which is using a Block theme. But if I simply start with block theme 2024, install and activate the plugin, then I don’t get in the Backend the menu item ‘Menus’? under Appearance? … so I cannot first setup/create a classic menu ….
- But then I realised if you? include the function register_nav_menus() in an action hook in the theme, then I get the MI ‘Menus’? –?
function register_my_menu() {
register_nav_menus();
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘register_my_menu’ );
So now I can create a classic menu in the Backend, insert a Classic Menu block in a page and select a classic menu for that block insert. So for example, theme 2024 has no such register fn, so I added it to a child theme
- And then to the styling?? ….?? The plugin? comes with some simple menu styling? – that’s ?OK, at least its something? … But? if you want to do? your own styling the Spacemonkey article mentions? a filter? .. but its not clear? what it’s for / how? you? use it? …?? But after looking in the code of the plugin? top file ?classic-menu-block.php, ?you? can use the filter? to change the? params? which ?in the plugin are then passed to the classic menu insert function ?wp_nav_menu() .?? So? I? used this to change the class name of the outer? wrapper div of the inserted menu from the default to my own? …? as such I could remove the default styling, and style the menu as I? want without the need for !important or mega specificity. ???
- So in conclusion it would be useful to simply add this info? in the diocumentation ???….?
- A comment on improving the default styling / adding styling config ?(there isn’t any config at the moment)? …? I don’t know how far this should go? … simply because there would be so many? possibilities ?to? suite each person’s needs so the whole thing becomes totally overweight? … ??I think its best as is? –? the simple current? styling – at least ?it works for the? non-dev, but? with the filter? a developer can do? their own styling.
