Float menu – awesome floating side menu

If the menu does not appear, it may be due to caching . Try the following steps to resolve the issue:

1. 01Clear your browser cache – press Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to refresh the page without cache.
2. 02Clear 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.
3. 03Purge server cache – if your hosting provider uses caching (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround, or Nginx cache), clear the cache from your hosting panel.
4. 04Disable caching temporarily – if the issue persists, try disabling the caching plugin and check if the menu appears.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most of these cases are very easy to set up: – Messaging & Social : Create a new item, pick a Font Awesome icon, and add your link (e.g., https://wa.me/yournumber for WhatsApp). – Floating CTA & Support : Use a standard link to your “Contact” or “Booking” page. In the Pro version , you can open these in a Popup for a better conversion rate. – Mobile Experience : Switch to the Horizontal Layout , position it at the bottom, and enable Mobile Rules to optimize label display on touch screens. – Anchor Navigation : Use links like #section-id to jump to specific parts of your page. The Pro version adds Smooth Scrolling for this. – Membership Access : Use the dedicated Login, Register, and Logout item types already included in the plugin.

Yes, the plugin includes Responsive Visibility settings. You can use the “Hide on smaller screens” option to disable the menu on mobile devices or “Hide on larger screens” to hide it on desktops. You can also set custom breakpoint values (in pixels) for these rules.

Yes! In the Lite version , you can: – Show the menu on all pages of your website. – Insert the menu manually using a shortcode [Float-Menu id="1"] to display it only where needed.

In the Pro version , you can set advanced display rules to show the menu only on specific pages, categories, post types, or based on user roles.

Yes, you can create and display multiple menus on a single page. Each menu has its own settings and can be controlled separately.

If you’re using a Multisite WordPress installation, do not activate the plugin for the entire network. Instead, activate it individually on each site where you need it.

No, Float Menu is lightweight and optimized for speed , ensuring minimal impact on your website’s performance.
