What it does
Standard WordPress menus usually live in a fixed spot, such as a header or sidebar. This plugin lets you take a menu you have already built and display it as a set of buttons wherever a shortcode can go. That makes it handy for landing pages, resource hubs or long posts where readers need quick links to other parts of the site without scrolling back to the top.
Setup starts from the menus you already manage in WordPress. You can duplicate an existing menu with one click, then style the copy as buttons without touching the original. Unlimited submenu levels let you build multi-tiered structures, and each item can carry an icon. You pick between default and circle button styles, choose from 17 hover animations and set colors for each button and its hover state. The menus are responsive and retina-ready.
Best for
- Site owners who want menus inside posts and pages
- Freelancers building branded navigation for client sites
- Content-heavy sites needing multi-level quick links

Questions about Button Menu - Pro
Can I use my existing WordPress menus with this plugin?
Yes. The plugin works with the navigation menus you already create in WordPress. You can display them as buttons through a shortcode, and you can duplicate an existing menu with a single click if you want a separate copy to style as a button menu.
Where on my site can the button menus appear?
You can place them anywhere a shortcode works, including the homepage, inside individual posts and on custom pages. This lets you add navigation buttons in spots where a regular header or sidebar menu would not reach.
How much control do I have over the look of the buttons?
You can choose between default and circle button styles, add icons to each menu item, select from 17 hover animations and set custom colors for every button and its hover state. The menus are also responsive and retina-ready for different devices.
Does it handle menus with many submenu levels?
Yes. The plugin supports unlimited submenu levels, so you can build multi-tiered navigation structures and still present them as buttons. Each level can include icons to help visitors find their way.
