What it does
Standard theme menus often feel cramped on small screens, especially when a site has many pages and nested sections. This plugin replaces that experience with a slide-out panel that opens from the left or right. Inside it you get a multi-level accordion menu that keeps deep navigation tidy, plus optional descriptions under menu items so visitors know where each link leads. A secondary pop-out menu gives you room for extra links without crowding the main list.
You decide exactly where the menu appears by setting the screen resolutions it targets, so it can show only on mobile widths or across all devices. The panel can carry your logo as text or an image, a built-in search field and widgets, and its colors and elements can be adjusted to match your design. Several menu button styles and animations are included, and the layout is responsive and retina ready, which suits blogs, online shops and company sites alike.
Best for
- Content-heavy blogs with deep, nested menu structures
- Online stores needing clearer navigation on phones
- Developers building branded mobile menus for client sites
Features
Left or right positioning
Choose which side of the screen the menu slides in from, so it fits your layout and the way your visitors tend to tap.
Multi-level accordion menu
The primary menu expands and collapses in accordion style, keeping complex navigation structures with many nested items organized and easy to scan on small screens.
Menu item descriptions
Add short descriptions to items at any level of the menu, giving visitors extra context about each link before they tap it.
Secondary pop-out menu
A separate pop-out menu holds additional links, so you can offer more navigation options without cluttering the main accordion menu.
Built-in search
A search field sits right inside the menu panel, letting visitors look for content on your site without leaving the navigation.
Button styles and labels
Pick from multiple menu button styles and animations, and write your own button label text so the menu trigger matches your site.
Text or image logo
Display your brand inside the menu as either a text logo or an uploaded image, keeping branding consistent across the panel.
Screen resolution targeting
Set the device widths where the menu should appear, so you can limit it to phones and tablets or show it on desktop too.
Questions about Morph, by Bonfire
Can I show the menu only on mobile devices?
Yes. The plugin includes screen resolution targeting, so you specify the widths where the flyout menu appears. You can keep it to phones and tablets, or let it display on desktop screens as well if you prefer a slide-out menu everywhere.
Will it handle menus with several levels of submenus?
It will. The primary menu works as a multi-level accordion, so nested items expand and collapse as visitors tap them. You can also add descriptions at each level and move extra links into a secondary pop-out menu to keep things tidy.
Can I make the menu match my site's design?
The colors and many menu elements are customizable, and you can choose from several button styles and animations. You can also set custom button labels and show your logo as text or an image, so the panel fits your branding.
Can I put anything other than links in the menu?
Yes. The menu panel supports widgets, so you can embed additional content alongside your navigation. It also has a built-in search function, letting visitors search your site directly from the open menu.
