Nav Menu

A WordPress menu rendered anywhere on the page — pick a menu you built under Appearance → Menus (or a theme location) and show it horizontally, vertically, or as a dropdown, with submenu and mega-menu support. Like every block in the library, it is a second authoring surface, not a second renderer: the canvas preview and the front end are both produced by the Nav Menu element — the same server-side code as the page builder — so the output is identical either way.

Options

Select the block and open the Settings (block) tab; the whole sidebar is generated from the element's option schema, so it stays in step with the page builder.

Option	What it does
Menu source (menu_source)	Pick a menu by name, or a theme location.
Orientation (orientation, alignment)	Horizontal or vertical, and how the items align.
Depth + Submenus (depth, submenu_style, dropdown, accordion, mega)	How many levels to show and how submenus open — dropdown, accordion or mega menu.

The block also opts into WordPress Margin / Padding (and, where it makes sense, alignment), which inherit the site's design system from theme.json.

Sample content

A block stores only what you change as one upOptions object; the element's declared defaults fill in the rest at render time. The demo above shows a menu by its ID, horizontally:

<!-- wp:unysonplus/nav-menu {"upOptions":{"menu_source":{"type":"menu","menu":{"menu_id":"31"}},"orientation":"horizontal","alignment":"center"}} /-->

Pick the menu in the block's inspector rather than typing an ID by hand.

The nav-menu element

The block and the page builder's Nav Menu element are two doors onto the same code. Its full option, markup and behaviour reference is documented there.
