Give WordPress menus a visual accent
WP Menu Icons PRO is the paid version of WP Menu Icons, created for websites that want to add icons to their WordPress menus without turning the menu into a larger mega menu system. It focuses on one practical purpose: incorporating icons into menu items and providing more control over the icon customization process.
Use it when a standard list of links needs a clearer visual structure. Icons can help distinguish sections, support recognizable navigation patterns, or add a visual detail to a simple site menu. The plugin is suited to websites with straightforward navigation as well as menus that form a more prominent part of the site experience.
Paid icon options
WP Menu Icons PRO expands the icon choices available through the base plugin with the ability to upload icons from IcoMoon and Fontello. This gives you a way to use icon sets from those services while customizing the visual presentation of menu items.
The PRO version also includes access to several icon libraries:
- Dashicons
- Elegant Icons
- Elusive
- FontAwesome
- Foundation
- Themify
These libraries provide different visual styles for menu icons, making it possible to select an option that fits the look and purpose of a site. The available choices can be used across menus where a consistent or varied icon treatment is useful.
Practical uses
Clarify navigation
Add an icon to a menu item to give visitors an additional visual cue about where a link leads. This can be useful for common areas such as sections of a website, resources, or other groups of links.
Support a simple menu
If you do not need a complex mega menu, WP Menu Icons PRO offers a focused way to enhance the default WordPress menu. It adds icon functionality while keeping the core purpose centered on menu navigation.
Match an existing design
Choose from the included libraries or upload icons from IcoMoon and Fontello to work toward a visual style that suits the rest of the website. The range of sources supports different design preferences without requiring a larger menu feature set.
Getting started
After adding WP Menu Icons PRO to your WordPress site, begin by choosing the menu items that need icons. Select an icon from one of the available libraries, or use the upload options for IcoMoon and Fontello. Continue through the menu icon customization process until the navigation matches the intended presentation.
Review the menu as a whole so that icon choices work together across the navigation. For a basic menu, a consistent library can create a unified appearance; for a more distinctive design, uploaded icons can provide additional flexibility.
