Persistent shortcuts at the edge of your site
Side Menu Pro is a WordPress solution for creating sticky floating side menus on the left or right edge of a website. These menus can provide quick access to important links, contact options, offers, calculators, popups, modals, and other actions while remaining available as visitors move through a page.
The Pro edition builds on side-menu functionality with deeper organization, interactive actions, targeting controls, and display scheduling. It is suitable for navigation shortcuts, service links, promotional actions, account links, social sharing, and site utilities across desktop and mobile experiences.
Organize links and actions
Use submenus to group related destinations and extended labels to provide more context. A hold-label option can keep labels open, while custom icons can be added as emojis, letters, uploaded images, or other custom icon assets. Side Menu Pro also supports a built-in search option for menus that contain many destinations.
- Add translation links and sharing links for more than 30 social platforms.
- Provide next-post and previous-post navigation.
- Use smooth scrolling, ScrollSpy, scroll-to-top, scroll-to-bottom, and print-page actions.
- Add one-click call, email, bookmark, and account actions.
- Include login, registration, logout, and password-recovery links.
Control when menus appear
Visibility can be controlled by scroll position, timer delay, URL, or referrer URL. Additional rules can show menus according to page types, categories, shortcodes, device, language, or user role. Menus can also be scheduled by date, time, or day, giving you control over when a particular floating menu is displayed.
Browser compatibility rules provide another way to manage menu display. Multilingual support helps adapt menu presentation for different language contexts, while device-based display options help tailor the experience for desktop and mobile visitors.
Practical menu layouts
Create a compact side menu for contact and account actions, a navigation menu with nested sections, or a utility menu that combines search, sharing, scrolling, printing, and post navigation. Promotional sites can use labels and badges-style text such as offers, while service pages can connect visitors with call, email, calculator, or popup actions.
The menu can be placed on either side of the site, and the wider feature set allows individual menus to be adapted to different pages, audiences, languages, and browsing conditions. This makes it possible to keep general navigation separate from targeted page actions.
Installation and setup
After installing Side Menu Pro in WordPress, create and configure a side menu with its links, labels, icons, placement, and visibility rules. The base plugin also supports manual placement with the shortcode [Side-Menu id=”1″] on specific pages. Use the Pro settings to define device, language, role, URL, schedule, and browser conditions as needed.
