It allows you to automatically add hierarchical categories to WordPress navigation menus using shortcodes. All sub-categories, if any, are also dynamically created in sub-branches. If you have a long list of categories and subcategories, it takes a lot of time to select items one by one in the WordPress menu section. When there is a change in the categories, it is necessary to add / remove / change the order again in the menu. This WordPress plugin makes it programmatic. Creates auto populated menu with categories.

To-do list: Cleared!

Customization is required for themes that use a complex menu structure. I can offer you a professional solution for this. Set up a staging site that is an exact copy of your production website on a temporary domain or subdomain for customization and development. Create your goal menu with manually added items. I can ask you to give me access as an administrator. This will help me to check the structure of the menu and find the solution.

How to automatically add hierarchic categories in WordPress Navigation Menus ?

If you like the plugin, please give 5 stars. Your positive feedback is important for me.

This plugin works well with many themes. If you are using a theme that uses a standard menu structure, the plugin generates the menu with zero configuration. However, some themes produce menus with a different structure. HTML elements and/or their CSS class names may differ. In this case the menu will not appear correctly on your website according to your theme. This is because of your theme, not the plugin. HTML and CSS knowledge may be required depending on the theme. If you have HTML and CSS knowledge, there is the possibility to adapt it to your theme using parameters. For themes that use complex menus, getting Pro version and customization would be the solution for you.

Usage

You can make some customizations for your theme by using parameters and values in the shortcode.

exclude:

Use this parameter for the categories that you want to exclude in the menu. Specify the category IDs that you want to exclude. Combine ID numbers with commas without spaces. Example: exclude="123,124"

level:

Maximum level limit value. If you give the value '1', only the items at the top root level are included in the menu. No subcategories are added to the menu. if you set the value '2', the root categories and the subcategories of these categories are added to the menu.

subi_atb

Content before the name of the menu item that has the subcategory.

subi_ate

Content after the name of the menu item that has the subcategory.

t_slash

Add trailing slash end of the link.

txtcount

Add total post count to category name. Sample value: " (%s)", Sample result: "Travel (5)"

cntnr_1s

Content before the HTML element enclosing (default ul) the subcategory list.

cntnr_1e

Content after the HTML element enclosing (default ul) the subcategory list.

prnt_co1

CSS selector value to overwrite after level 1 of the class of the HTML element (default ul) containing the subcategory list.

prnt_ca1

CSS selector value to be added after level 1 to the class of the HTML element (default ul) containing the subcategory list.

startids

Selection of root items to be included in the menu by ID. Type the ID(s) of the categories. To exclude the category itself and include all its subcategories, type the negative of the ID value. Combine multiple IDs with commas without spaces. For example: "101,102,-103". If you set this parameter to "auto_subs", the menu will automatically include all subcategories of the currently visited category, but only the first level subcategories will be included. If you are on other pages, the menu will include all top categories. Note: When using "auto_subs", caching is disabled.

sortname

Sort the category items alphabetically. Available values: "ASC", "DESC"

fn_custom

It is used for special functions written for a fee for theme menus whose structure is not standard.

cache

Enable caching of the menu. If you set it to "1", the menu will be cached if it is not chached yet. If anything changes in the menu, you need to clear the cache manually on the plugin settings page. It is recommended to set a unique 'shortcode_id' value, it will be used as the file name to save the cache. Sample usage: "cache="1" shortcode_id="desktop_menu"".

excl_woos

Enhances the "hide_empty" feature for WooCommerce categories. When enabled, it ensures that categories containing only out-of-stock products are excluded from the menu, even if they technically have products assigned. This addresses the issue where "hide_empty=1" still shows categories with out-of-stock items, providing a cleaner menu by hiding categories with no available products.

rplc_name

Allows renaming WooCommerce categories in the menu by specifying pairs of old and new category names, separated by underscores and pipes. Format: OldName_NewName, or OldName1_NewName1|OldName2_NewName2|OldNameN_NewNameN for multiple pairs. It replaces category names in the menu without changing the actual category names in the database. Example rplc_name="Shirts_Tops|Jeans_Pants renames the "Shirts" category to "Tops" and "Jeans" to "Pants" in the menu.

act_c_li

Adds a custom class neme to the menu item if it matches the current page. Set to a string value, like "active". This class is added to the menu item if it matches the current page URL. For example, if the current page is a category archive for "Hoodies", and you set act_c_li="current-active", the menu item for "Hoodies" will have the class current-active. This is useful for highlighting the active category in the menu.

ext_c_li

Adds category properties to the li element's class. Options: slug (category slug), taxonomy (category taxonomy name). Multiple values can be space-separated. Using ext_c_li="slug taxonomy", the li element includes classes category-hoodies (slug) and product_cat (taxonomy), resulting in <li class="menu-item category-hoodies product_cat">.

trim_child

Removes extra "child tag" DOM elements generated at the start and end of the menu's HTML content. Set trim_child="true" to clean up these tags for a streamlined menu structure. If the menu HTML includes <ul><li>Category</li></ul> with unwanted wrapping tags, trim_child="true" removes them, leaving only <li>Category</li>.

thumb_put

Controls if and where the category thumbnail appears relative to the link or text. Options:

• before_text: Thumbnail before the category name, inside the link.
• after_text: Thumbnail after the category name, inside the link.
• before_link: Thumbnail before the entire link element.
• after_link: Thumbnail after the entire link element.
• false: No thumbnail (default).

Structure of the output, depending on the selected option, is as follows:

<li class="menu-item">
 <!-- before_link -->
 <a href=".">
  <!-- before_text --> Hoodies <!-- after_text -->
 </a>
 <!-- after_link -->
</li>

thumb_size

Defines the thumbnail image size. Uses WordPress predefined sizes: thumbnail (150x150), medium (300x300), large (1024x1024), or full (original size). These require additional database queries, increasing load time. Custom sizes (e.g., 300x200, 100x100) are more efficient, reducing queries and computation, but the media library must already contain images in those dimensions.

thumb_clss

Assigns a CSS class name to the thumbnail image for custom styling. Default: false (no class name).

thumb_frmt

Customizes the HTML template for the thumbnail image. Uses placeholders: %1$s (image URL), %2$d (width), %3$d (height), %4$s (CSS class), %5$s (alt text). Default: <img src="%1$s" width="%2$d" height="%3$d" class="%4$s" alt="%5$s" />, produces an image tag like <img src="path/icon.svg" width="100" height="100" class="" alt="Category name" />. Check the examples below for more details.
