Which Menu Plugin works best with Newspaper?

Hi Guys,

I am thinking about using a third party menu plugin (commercial) to spice up my site and get more options. Like Mega Main Menu (http://goo.gl/bge5vA) or UberMenu (http://wpmegamenu.com/).

Which one of these plugins works best with the Newspaper Theme. What Menu plugins are you guys using?

Hope to get some input here.

Thanks!

I would likely explore the built-in mega menu options already in theme (see the DEMO of the theme on Themeforest for examples) before trying the others.

Thanks Chris,

I already tried it, but not enough options. To limited for my requirements. Like, I would want to have a gradient menu background. And more control of how my menu looks, feels and acts in general.

These third party menu plugins give me that freedom. But I have no idea how they integrate with the theme.

UberMenu working fine.

Hi Dean,

Dream girl indeed, the tongue thing does it for me, hehehe

Ok, keep me up to date please. I will give Ubermenu a go also and try the Theme integration tips. Will keep you guys up to date!

Enjoy whats left of the weekend 🙂

Hey guys, and TagDIV support,

Yesterday I purchased the Ubermenu plugin and installed it on my website http://www.techplanet.nl.

Unfortunately, the Ubermenu somehow does not fit completely over the default menu.

See illustrations with and without using a background image:

With Background: http://goo.gl/yhFkpx
No Background: http://goo.gl/a72mFe

(I prefer using no background on my website)

Can you guys help me with correcting this problem? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

P.s. I followed the Ubermenu integration instructions for the Newspaper theme, here: http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-newspaper-tagdiv

Update:

Got a reply from Ubermenu plugin developer. This is what he said:

“The menu is working properly on your site. The width of the menu bar is restricted by your theme’s #td-top-menu div.

If you want the menu to be wider, you’d need to move it outside of that container. If you want to make the menu full-width, you’d need to move it outside of the .container div”

So, how do I do this (both options)? TagDIV support, please advise!

Thank you

I’m in the same situation :/

Hi Dean,

I asked the UberMenu developer for some more concrete help/advice, this is what I just received. Maybe you know what to do with this info?

“The basic idea would be to use Manual Integration to just place the menu where you want it. You’d place it inside the header.php within the proper container – either inside the .td-menu-header div to make it the width of your content, or inside the .td-menu-background div to make it the full width of the screen.

But generally it’s a better solution to get the actual structure right, as it’ll be more flexible.”

Maybe TAGDIV SUPPORT can help us out here with this new info?
They are awfully quit 🙁

Thanks Emil,

I will try to works these instructions out.
Keep you guys up to date.
