Questions the author answers
The menu does not appear on the website. How can I fix it?
If the menu does not appear, it may be due to caching. Try the following steps to resolve the issue:
- Clear your browser cache – press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to refresh the page without cache.
- Clear your WordPress cache – if you’re using a caching plugin (e.g., WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache), clear the cache in the plugin settings.
The menu is visible to the site administrator but not to users?
Check if the “Test Mode” option is enabled in the menu settings. If Test Mode is activated, the menu will be visible only to the site administrator (logged-in users with administrative rights). This is useful for configuring and testing your menu before making it public.
How do “Mobile Rules” work on mobile devices?
When Mobile Rules are enabled, the menu uses a two-step interaction on touch screens: the first click shows the menu item label (tooltip), and the second click opens the link. This prevents accidental navigation and improves user experience on mobile.
Can I change the menu position or fix overlapping issues?
Yes! You can set the menu to appear on the left or right side. If the menu is hidden behind other elements or overlaps them, you can adjust the Z-index value in the settings. You can also use Side Offset and Top Offset to move the menu away from the edges or header.
Can I create a horizontal menu?
Yes, starting from version 7.1, you can choose between a Vertical or Horizontal layout. Horizontal layout is great for creating sticky bars or toolbars at the top or bottom of your site.
How can I move my menus to another site?
The plugin includes an Import/Export feature. You can export all your menus or a single menu as a JSON file and then import it into another WordPress site where Float Menu is installed. This is perfect for developers moving from staging to production.
Latest changelog entry
- Updated: The Pro features list now covers label effects, hold open / hover control, icon classes and the full set of media and navigation actions.
- Improved: Security by adding a capability check to the settings save handler.
- Improved: Security of the import tool — uploaded data is no longer able to instantiate PHP objects.
- Fixed: The “Link” field on the item edit screen was not saved, so the “View” row action never appeared.
- Fixed: Invalid or empty import files are now reported with an error instead of causing a PHP warning.
