Excellent Side Menu Plugin!!
This plugin is excellent, and the support team is incredible! My client wanted a very specific, niche-in-style side menu, and this plugin made it very easy to created and customize to the client's exact specifications. Saved me hours of custom coding, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!
