Insight Menu Block

Insight Menu Block - plugin for Gutenberg block themes - classic style

If you’ve ever worked with the navigation block in an FSE (full site editing) theme, you know the drill: you start off positive and see the possibilities, but as you go along, your enthusiasm fades; eventually, you’re left thinking, “It works, but that’s about it.” And for clients who want to make occasional adjustments themselves, it’s completely unworkable.

An ideal, simple, fast, and customizable classic navigation block for full site editing (FSE) block themes

  • Inner blocks for the mobile overlay
  • Custom breakpoint
  • Most right dropdown optionally opens left
  • 6 different icons
  • Adjustable icon height
  • Toggle menu label
  • Mobile overlay editing mode
  • Mobile overlay options like complete, partial, slide out left to right and slide out right to left with adjustable width.
  • Classic-style menu builder
  • Classes per item
  • Logged in/out options
  • Aria label
  • Open the mobile submenu by clicking the menu-item

Easy, stable and fast

  • The plugin has two blocks; the Insight Menu Block and the Mobile Menu Items sub-block.
  • Place the Insight Menu Block anywhere in your header, just like the native navigation block.
  • Place the Mobile Menu Items sub-block anywhere on the mobile overlay; you can insert blocks before and after the Mobile Menu Items sub-block. Think about a logo, heading, socials, etc.
  • Every menu-item has its own class. Ideal for targeting per item, for translation plugins (notranslate) etc.
  • Hide menu-items based on logged-in / logged-out status, without an additional plugin.
