Describe the menu you want, and AI generates the structure, suggests an icon for every item, and translates the whole thing into 9 languages \u2014 then you publish a modern, mobile-first menu in minutes. No code, no theme edits, works with any theme.<\/p>\n\n<p>Building navigation used to mean dragging items around for an hour, hunting for the right icons, and copy-pasting translations one by one. Navi+ flips that around: you describe what you want, AI does the first draft, and you just refine and ship. It's navigation built for how people actually work now.<\/p>\n\n<p>The default WordPress menu was made for blogs, not stores \u2014 and most of your visitors arrive on a phone, where a single hamburger icon hides every page behind one tap. Navi+ gives them a real way to browse: a native-app-style tab bar fixed to the bottom of the screen, a smooth slide-in menu, or a visual grid of categories \u2014 so people find the page they want instead of leaving.<\/p>\n\n<h4>AI does the heavy lifting<\/h4>\n\n<p>Navi+ puts AI to work on the parts that used to eat your afternoon:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Design with AI<\/strong> \u2014 describe your store or paste your categories, and ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), or Gemini (Google) drafts a complete menu structure you can import straight into Navi+. Go from a blank screen to a working menu in one step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto-scan &amp; rebuild<\/strong> \u2014 Navi+ reads your existing WordPress menu and rebuilds it in the editor automatically, so you never start from scratch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI-suggested icons<\/strong> \u2014 every item gets a smart icon recommendation based on its label. No more scrolling through icon libraries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One-click auto-translate<\/strong> \u2014 turn your entire menu into 9 languages instantly, instead of translating items by hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The AI tools are optional, and no AI subscription is required \u2014 everything else in Navi+ works without them. But once you've let AI draft a menu for you, you won't want to go back to doing it the old way.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why merchants choose Navi+<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>AI does the first draft<\/strong> \u2014 describe it, scan it, or build it; either way you finish faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built for mobile, where your traffic is<\/strong> \u2014 tab bar, slide menu, and grid layouts designed for touch, not desktop dropdowns squeezed onto a phone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No code, no theme edits<\/strong> \u2014 install, build, publish. No child theme, no template files, no developer required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Works with any theme<\/strong> \u2014 classic or block (full-site-editing) themes, alongside Elementor and other page builders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightweight loader<\/strong> \u2014 HTML5\/CSS3 with no external front-end libraries and no render-blocking resources, served from a global CDN.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Up and running in minutes<\/strong> \u2014 most sites have their first menu live before their coffee gets cold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Menu types<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mega menu<\/strong> \u2014 rich dropdowns with columns, images, and featured links, on desktop and mobile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tab bar<\/strong> \u2014 a fixed bottom navigation bar for mobile that feels like a native app.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slide \/ hamburger menu<\/strong> \u2014 a smooth slide-in panel with multi-level navigation, optimized for touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grid menu<\/strong> \u2014 a visual image grid, ideal for browsing product categories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Floating action button (FAB)<\/strong> \u2014 a quick-access floating button for your most important action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Control where menus appear<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Display a menu site-wide, or embed a specific one in any page, post, or widget via shortcode.<\/li>\n<li>Show different menus on desktop and mobile, or target specific URLs.<\/li>\n<li>Toggle the global embed on or off from the dashboard, no code changes needed.<\/li>\n<li>Track which menu items get clicked most with built-in click analytics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Built for WooCommerce<\/h4>\n\n<p>Navi+ is made for stores. Ask AI to build a mega menu from your product categories, set up a tab bar that keeps cart, search, and account one tap away for mobile shoppers, or create a grid menu for visual category browsing \u2014 all without touching your theme.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Free to start<\/h4>\n\n<p>Create your first menu free \u2014 no credit card required. When you build your first menu, the plugin connects your site to the Navi+ service automatically; there's no separate sign-up step before you install.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How it works<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Appearance \u2192 Naviplus Menu Builder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Connect your site and open the Navi+ editor.<\/li>\n<li>Describe your menu and let AI generate it, auto-scan your existing menu, or build one by hand with drag-and-drop.<\/li>\n<li>Publish \u2014 your menu goes live instantly via global CDN.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>To place a menu inside a specific page or post, use the shortcode:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[naviwp embed_id=\"YOUR-EMBED-ID\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>In the block editor, paste the shortcode into a <strong>Shortcode<\/strong> block, or even a normal Paragraph block (the plugin detects <code>[naviwp]<\/code> \/ <code>[naviplus]<\/code> there too). The legacy tag <code>[naviplus ...]<\/code> still works for backward compatibility.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External Services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin connects to the Navi+ AI Menu Builder service (naviplus.app) to store, render, and serve your navigation menus. Menus are created in the Navi+ editor and delivered to your site by this service.<\/p>\n\n<p>To render menus on the front end, the plugin loads a JavaScript file from:\nhttps:\/\/live.naviplus.app\/start.js<\/p>\n\n<p>When you create or display a menu, the following data may be sent to the service:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Your website domain<\/li>\n<li>Your menu configuration (the menus you build)<\/li>\n<li>Minimal usage data required to render and serve menus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The AI design tools (Design with AI, AI-suggested icons, Auto-translate) send the menu content you choose to process to the Navi+ service, which uses third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) to return a generated structure, icon suggestions, or translations. These tools are optional and run only when you choose to use them.<\/p>\n\n<p>This service is provided by Navi+ (naviplus.io). By using the plugin you agree to the Navi+ Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Terms of Service: https:\/\/naviplus.io\/terms<\/li>\n<li>Privacy Policy: https:\/\/naviplus.io\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In your WordPress dashboard, go to <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong> and search for \"Naviplus Menu Builder\", then click <strong>Install Now<\/strong> and <strong>Activate<\/strong>.
