Gecka Submenu [submenu] Shortcode

The Gecka-Submenu shortcode is a tool that enables the display of a submenu on your WordPress site. This shortcode, when added, checks if a submenu is specified. If not, it defaults to the current submenu. It then returns the specified or default submenu, enhancing site navigation.

Shortcode: [submenu]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible submenu shortcode parameters and attributes:

• submenu – Specifies the submenu to display, ‘current’ by default

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the gecka-submenu shortcode plugin, where we don’t specify the submenu attribute. By default, it will take the ‘current’ submenu.

[submenu /]

Advanced examples

Specifying the submenu attribute directly. This will override the default ‘current’ submenu and display the specified submenu instead.

[submenu submenu="custom_submenu" /]

Adding more than one parameter. This example includes the ‘submenu’ attribute and another custom attribute ‘style’. The ‘style’ attribute could be used to apply different styles to the submenu.

[submenu submenu="custom_submenu" style="style1" /]

Note: The actual usage of these shortcodes may vary depending on the functionality provided by the ‘gecka-submenu’ plugin and the attributes it supports.

Gecka Submenu [menu] Shortcode

The Gecka-Submenu shortcode is a powerful tool that generates a submenu based on specified attributes. This shortcode takes attributes, serializes them into a key, and checks if it’s already cached. If it is, it returns the cached menu. If not, it creates a new submenu with the Gecka_Submenu_Submenu class and caches it for future use.

Shortcode: [menu]

Examples and Usage

Basic example – Display a default submenu using the Gecka Submenu plugin.

[menu]

Advanced examples

Display a submenu with a specific theme location. The ‘theme_location’ attribute is used to specify the location of the menu in the theme.

[menu theme_location='header-menu']

Display a submenu with a specific menu ID. The ‘menu’ attribute is used to specify the ID of the menu.

[menu menu='3']

Display a submenu with a specific menu slug. The ‘menu’ attribute is used to specify the slug of the menu.

[menu menu='header-menu']

Display a submenu with a specific container class. The ‘container_class’ attribute is used to specify the CSS class of the menu container.

[menu container_class='my-custom-class']

Display a submenu with a specific container ID. The ‘container_id’ attribute is used to specify the CSS ID of the menu container.

[menu container_id='my-custom-id']

Display a submenu with a specific menu class. The ‘menu_class’ attribute is used to specify the CSS class of the menu itself.
