While doing a new project on Wordpress, I come across a situation which required a custom menu bar to be showed inside page content. I can’t make it hard coded because the client needs the dashboard edit page option for that page to update the content. I thought there should be a plug-in to help me with this problem. I search the plug-in section of the Wordpress site and after testing lots of option I finally found the one I need. It’s called “Show Menu Shortcode” and it’s really good.

You can download the plug-in from here.

Just install and activate “Show Menu Shortcode” plug-in in your Wordpress blog and go the Menus option and create a new custom menu and copy the new menu name. Then go to one of your page content where you want this menu to be displayed and paste the following code:

[show-menu menu="your-custom-menu-name"]

Update or publish the page and then go to fronted to view the page. You will see the custom menu items that you have added in your new custom menu are being displayed on that page.
You can create side menu in your content with this plug-in or you can create tab menu bar with this plug-in, there are many possibilities.
