How Do I Create a Social Menu in WordPress?

Creating a social menu in WordPress is a breeze. All you need is a little bit of programming knowledge and a few WordPress plugins. The first step is to install the Social Menu plugin.

Once the plugin is installed, go to the Settings page and under the “Menus” tab, enter your desired menu name and description. You can also choose to include a social share button on your menu.

To create your social menu, all you need to do is add a few lines of code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file. For example, if you want to create a social menu for your blog called “Menu 1,” you would add the following code to your file:

// Add a social menu function add_social_menu() { // Get the name of the menu we’re adding to $menu_name = __( ‘Menu 1′, ‘social-menu’); // Get the description of the menu we’re adding to $menu_description = __( ‘A sample social menu’, ‘social-menu’); // Add the menu to the menus array $ menus = array( ‘Menu 1′ => __( ‘Sample Menu 1′, ‘social-menu’), ); // Add the share button to the menu $share_buttons = array( ‘Menu 1′ => array( ‘title’ => __( ‘Share Menu 1′, ‘social-menu’), ‘icon’ => ‘http://www.graphicriver.net/item/share-menu-1/1487351′, ‘share’ => true, ), ); // Add the menu to the main content area $ main_content = array( ‘items’ => $ menus, ‘share_buttons’ => $share_buttons, ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘add_social_menu’);

Once the code is added, you’ll need to activate it by going to the Settings page for your blog and clicking on the “Menus” tab. Then, select the “Menu 1” menu and click on the “Edit” button next to its title.

You’ll now be able to add new items to the menu, change the title and description, and add share buttons.

Obviously, this code is just an example. You can create any type of social menu you want using this method.

Just be sure to modify the code to fit your specific needs.

The final step is to add a link to the social menu from within your blog’s content. To do this, simply add a line of code to your blog’s header or footer and include the URL for your social menu.

For example, if the social menu URL is http://www.example.com/social-menu, you would include the following line of code in your header:.

Once the plugin is installed, you can add your desired menu name and description, as well as include a share button. Finally, you can add a link to the menu from within your blog’s content.
