How to use my menu PHP code as sidebar?

Question

I'm using the Max Mega Menu plugin. The plugin gives me a PHP Function for my menu. But the plugin has no documentation on how to use it.

I want to add the menu as a sidebar to the left of my existing contents. What should I do next? Should I just copy the php code to sidebar.php in Wordpress? What am I supposed to do with the PHP code? How to use it in my sidebar?

Answer 1

wp_nav_menu is a standard WordPress function, so you would just copy/paste that PHP code into sidebar.php using whatever additional arguments you need. However, since the theme has a sidebar.php it probably has widget areas, so I would look in Appearance > Widgets in the dashboard and look for a sidebar widget area.

In there, I would create a textarea widget into the sidebar widget area and copy/paste the shortcode into that widget. It should then render the menu in the same way as the PHP code.

Here is the 2 different way to show Max Mega Menu in sidebar area

1. Copy and paste the shortcode in your widget area.
2. Copy and paste the php code in sidebar.php file and place it where you want to show it.
