About Replai Mega Menu
From the official readme · v1.0.44Description
Replai Mega Menu upgrades the menus you already build in Appearance → Menus into modern, responsive mega menus — no page builder required. Enable a mega panel on any top-level item and design its dropdown with columns, section headings, per-item icons and badges, a featured card and CTA buttons. On phones everything turns into a clean off-canvas drawer.
Because it is built on the native WordPress menu system, it stays compatible with your theme and multilingual plugins, and if you deactivate it your menus keep working as plain menus.
What you can build
- Multi-column panels — organize a dropdown into columns with uppercase section headings, just like the big SaaS sites. Split into real columns automatically or add your own column breaks.
- A real icon library — pick a per-item icon from a searchable library: Font Awesome (Solid & Brands, bundled locally), Dashicons and emoji. Set each icon’s color, and its size on an XS–XL scale.
- Badges — add a small label such as “NEW” to any item, with a custom color.
- Featured cards — a highlighted block with image, title, description and link inside the panel.
- CTA buttons — turn a top-level item or a sub-item into a call-to-action button.
- Responsive off-canvas drawer — below your chosen breakpoint the menu becomes a full-height mobile drawer with smooth accordions, a header with your logo, a sticky CTA area and a close button. Choose which side it opens from and hide your theme’s own toggler so there’s only one hamburger.
- Fine-tuned styling with a live preview — accent, text and background colors, panel corner radius, dropdown arrow style (chevron / triangle / plus-minus / none), open-on-hover or open-on-click, and XS–XL scales for item spacing, font size and weight, icon size and sub-item title/subtitle — each with a separate mobile value. A live Desktop/Mobile preview reflects your changes as you type.
- Works with your stack — built on native Appearance → Menus, placeable with a shortcode, and available as an Elementor widget. No theme lock-in.
How to use it
- Go to Appearance → Menus and edit any item. You will see a new “Mega menu (Replai)” section with the options above.
- Go to Appearance → Replai Mega Menu to set colors, the mobile breakpoint and which theme menu locations the plugin should render as mega menus.
- Or drop it anywhere with the shortcode
[replai_menu location="primary"](or[replai_menu menu="Main Menu"]). - Building your header with Elementor? Look for the Replai Mega Menu widget and pick a menu or theme location right in the editor.
Installation
- Upload the replai-mega-menu folder to
/wp-content/plugins/, or install it from the WordPress plugin directory. - Activate the plugin.
- Configure your items in Appearance → Menus and the global styles in Appearance → Replai Mega Menu.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with my theme?
Yes. It renders the menus registered by your theme (theme locations) and can also be placed with a shortcode. It uses the native menu system, so no theme lock-in.
Is it responsive?
Yes. Below the breakpoint you set, the menu becomes an off-canvas drawer with expandable sections, a sticky area for CTA buttons and a close button. It is keyboard accessible and closes with Escape.
What happens if I deactivate it?
Your menus keep working as standard WordPress menus. The mega settings are stored as menu-item metadata and are simply ignored while the plugin is off.
Which icons can I use?
Each sub-item can use an icon from a searchable library: Font Awesome (Solid & Brands, bundled locally so nothing is loaded from a CDN), Dashicons, or an emoji. You can also set the icon color and its size on an XS–XL scale, with a separate value for mobile.
Does it work with Elementor?
Yes. Besides the native Appearance → Menus integration and the shortcode, there is a “Replai Mega Menu” Elementor widget: drop it into any header or template and pick a menu or theme location right in the editor.
Does it call any external service?
No. The plugin runs entirely on your site and makes no external requests.
Changelog
Fix: in click mode, clicking an open item again now closes its panel.
1.0.44
- Fix: in “open on click” mode, clicking an open top-level item again now closes its panel (a lingering focus state was keeping it open).
1.0.43
- New: optional close delay for the desktop hover menu — keep the panel open for 0.1 s up to 1 s after the pointer leaves (default: immediate). Set it in Settings → General.
- Hover UX: the panel no longer closes when moving from the top item down into the panel (invisible bridge over the gap), and switching to another top item closes the previous panel immediately.
- Branding: the plugin directory icon now uses the official REPLAI logo, consistent with the other REPLAI plugins.
- Admin is now fully multilingual out of the box (English, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese and German), following your site language — including the description shown in the Plugins list.
- Bigger live preview on desktop, and the settings and preview cards now align to the same top edge under the tabs.
1.0.42
- Security/hardening: the per-item badge color is now validated as a hex color both when saved and when printed, instead of being stored as free text (plugin review feedback). The menu-item icon color already used the same validation.
1.0.41
- Tested and compatible with WordPress 7.1.
1.0.40
- Resubmission for review: confirmed no inline
<script>/<style>anywhere (the settings tab script is enqueued from assets/js/admin-settings.js) and no bundled .po/.mo files (only the .pot template; translations via translate.wordpress.org).
1.0.39
- Settings: the tab-switching script now loads from an enqueued file (assets/js/admin-settings.js) instead of an inline block.
- Removed bundled .po/.mo translation files; translations are served from translate.wordpress.org.
