Create a Mega Menu in WordPress 2024 - core blocks only!

Great video Jakson, thanks. Would you be able to post a link to that "show/hide this block on Desktop/Tablet/Mobile" plugin that you mentioned please? Thanks

Looks nice! Have you tried Nick Diego’s experimental mega menu block? I like how you manage all of the mega content within the same template part. Makes editing and managing those much more efficient.

Hey Derek - yes, Nick's block is amazing - can't wait for that to be released for production - should be in core!! And yeah, I was looking for the easy win with this approach - everything in the one interface, all core etc. Glad you liked it!

I'm sorry but the only way to have a decent menu for now is to reactivate the classic menu and create a dynamic block to manage it. The navigation block is the biggest problem of the full site editor. It seems there is no way to have a professional menu if not with a classic approach to the menu. The video is useful for a simple and unpretentious site .. but for a professional site it is unpresentable .. it's not your fault but at the moment the navigation block is simply a disaster

I’m in complete agreement @gianbattistamaricosu1911 , the nav block is one of he biggest shortcomings in block theming, though I do find a can accomplish pretty much everything I’m handed design-wise with it - but like you say it seriously needs to be improved. For more complex scenarios where core nav just can’t cut it I’ve used en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/megamenu/ in the past (doesn’t have to be a mega menu) - in Block Themes it turns on the Classic Menu interface under the Appearance admin menu, plus it has a Block you can insert into your header and works great - sounds like that could be a good option for you?
