mobi – Mobile-first WordPress Responsive Navigation Menu

Description

mobi replaces the default mobile menu in WordPress with an app-style navigation, featuring a slide-out side panel, customizable icons per item, and support for multi-level submenus. Designed for sites experiencing a drop in engagement from mobile visitors, it organizes the page menu into a touch-friendly system that responds immediately to touch and keeps the hierarchy visible without occupying the entire screen.

Key Features of mobi

• Slide-out side panel
  Opens the menu in an off-canvas drawer triggered by a floating hamburger button.
• Multi-level submenus
  Renders nested categories and subcategories with accordion expansion upon touch.
• Icons per menu item
  Allows assigning a visual icon to each link to enhance quick readability.
• Fully customizable style
  Adjusts background colors, typography, panel width, and trigger button position.
• Integration with native menus
  Reads the structure created in Appearance > Menus without requiring new parallel configuration.

Benefits of mobi

• Navigation familiar to mobile users
  Reproduces the side drawer pattern already established in native applications.
• Higher mobile retention
  Reduces the friction of tapping small menus and improves the pages-per-session rate.
• Rapid deployment
  Activates the new menu without modifying the theme or editing template files.
• Preserved visual identity
  Adapts the menu’s colors and fonts to the site’s palette to maintain brand consistency.

Who is mobi suitable for?

• Those who maintain blogs, content portals, or digital magazines with a high volume of traffic from smartphones.
• Those who notice low mobile retention and suspect that the theme’s original menu is driving visitors away.
• Those who wish to deliver an app-standard navigation experience without needing to switch to a full PWA.

How to download mobi

mobi is available for download here at Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and click activate. Once activation is complete, the new menu button appears automatically in the mobile view of the site, ready to be styled in the plugin settings.

More than just a simple responsive menu, mobi reorganizes the way mobile visitors navigate the site, bringing the side drawer and accordion expansion logic that they already know from the apps they use every day. Reading the native WordPress menu structure avoids rework and keeps editorial control where it has always been.

For those working with publications that have many categories, stores with extensive catalogs, or institutional sites with several sections, it is the quick way to offer the mobile audience a fluid, organized, and visually aligned navigation, without rewriting the theme or depending on manual CSS adjustments for each breakpoint.
