More documentation please
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.
Perfect!
Exactly what I was looking for: a simple menu-block. Nothing more, nothing less.
