Responsive Mobile Select Menu

November 22, 2023

Responsive Mobile Select Menu Plugin

The Responsive Mobile Select Menu plugin automatically turns any WordPress Menu into a select box / dropdown on mobile devices.

One common UI paradigm for navigation menus with responsive design is to display a select box (form element) for mobile devices.
This plugin allows you to turn your WordPress menu into a select box below a browser viewport width of your choice.

This is the successor plugin of former, unfortunately abandoned Responsive Select Menu by sevenspark.
It has been made translation-ready, PHP 8 ready and its code has been rewritten and restructured to work with WordPress versions greater than 5.x.x

Please find a live demo of the plugin here: https://responsive-select-menu.saskialund.de/

Features

  • Takes up less screen real estate on mobile devices
  • Easier navigation for touch screens
  • Works automatically – no need to add extra PHP code

FAQ

Do I have to have a “Navigate” item as my first item

You can change the name of this item, but it has to exist. Otherwise, you won’t be able to navigate to the first item in the menu
if you’re not using the “Show currently selected item” – even if you have that option enabled, the issue would still exist on pages not
in the menu.

It doesn’t work

If your theme creates a menu the standard way with wp_nav_menu(), it should work. If not, make sure you either post a support request in this plugin’s WordPress support forum or maybe approach your theme’s developer.
