Best mobile menu
This is a great plugin to set up an easy to use mobile menu. It is great that they have dashicons available and that I can upload my own if I choose. I like how customisable it is from the backend setup and how easy it is to see your changes in real time with their live preview. I highly recommend this plugin for anyone looking for a lightweight menu solution with tons of features.
