What it does
Many themes ship with a header menu that is hard to restyle or move. This plugin gives you a separate horizontal bar that sits at the top or bottom of the screen, so you can add navigation where it suits your layout without rebuilding your theme. It works with standard WordPress menus, and you can assign it to act as your primary navigation or as a secondary bar for extra links such as contact pages, categories or account areas.
Styling is handled through color and style settings, so the bar can follow your brand palette. A per post and per page override lets you show a different menu on specific content, which is handy for landing pages, campaign pages or sections that need their own links. The graphics are retina ready for sharp display on high resolution screens, and the layout is responsive across desktops, tablets and phones. Documentation is included to help with setup.
Best for
- Blogs and portfolios wanting a clean extra navigation bar
- Business websites needing top or bottom menu placement
- Online stores adding secondary links for shoppers

Questions about Horizon by Bonfire
Can I use this alongside my theme's existing menu?
Yes. The menubar can serve as your primary navigation, or you can keep your theme's header menu and use the bar as a secondary menu for additional links, placed at the top or bottom of the screen.

Yes. There is a post and page specific override, so you can assign a different menu to individual posts or pages. This is useful for landing pages or content sections that need their own set of navigation links.
Will the menubar match my site's design?
You can customize the colors and styles of the bar to fit your theme and brand. Its design is minimal, so it tends to sit comfortably on business sites, blogs, portfolios and store pages.
