How Do I Create an Icon Menu in WordPress?

Creating an icon menu in WordPress is a breeze. All you need is a little bit of knowledge about the WordPress menu system and a few simple steps.

First, you’ll need to create a folder called “icons” in your WordPress root. This folder will store all of your icon files.

Next, you’ll need to create a file called “menu.php” in your icons folder and add the following code:

This code defines two variables: WPL_IMAGE_DIR and WPL_THEME_DIR. The first variable defines the location of your icon files, and the second defines the location of your WordPress theme files.

Next, you’ll need to add a line to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file to load the menu.php file:

function wp_load_menu() {

}

Finally, you’ll need to create a menu item for each of your icon files. To do this, you’ll first need to create a new file called “index.php” in your icons folder and add the following code:

include( ‘ ./index.php ‘ );

This file includes the index.php file from your WordPress theme, so that the menu item will appear in the WordPress menu.

Next, you’ll need to create a file called “icon.php” in your icons folder and add the following code:

/*

* Add an icon to your menu

*/

echo get_template_part( ‘ content ‘, ‘ main ‘ );

echo ‘ ‘ . __( ‘ Post ‘ , ‘ wp_theme_menu ‘ ) . ‘ ‘ ;.

This code defines a couple of variables: get_template_part and get_permalink. The first variable defines the location of the “content” template file, and the second variable defines the location of the “main” template file.

Next, you’ll need to create a file called “style.css” in your icons folder and add the following code:

.menu-item {

background-color: #e2e2e2;

border-width: 1px;

border-style: solid;

padding: 5px 8px;

This code defines the background color, border width, and border style for the menu item.

Finally, you’ll need to add a line to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file to call the icon.php file:

wp_enqueue_script( ‘ style ‘ , ‘ icons/style.css ‘ );

wp_enqueue_script( ‘ icon ‘ , ‘ icons/icon.php ‘ );

wp_enqueue_style( ‘ icons ‘ );

wp_enqueue_script( ‘ menu ‘ , ‘ themes/menu.php ‘ );

This code calls the icon.php file, styles the menu item, enqueues the script for the menu item, and enqueues the style for the icons.

Now, when you create a new post, the icon for that post will appear in the WordPress menu.
