Hey for now it is not possible. It is planned to be able to have multiple menus in the future. Not sure about when that would be.

Hello Armin.

I am trying to achieve that via a plugin (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/smart-menu-shortcode/). I installed that plugin on my site that can display menus in shortcodes. I add my additional menus to WordPress and display them via the shortcode. The menu are displayed but don't work as soon as they have links to external websites. Also no other links will work after I clicked one of the links in the shortcode menu.

Here is the site I am working on: http://laboratorium-haus1.de/wp2017/kuenstlerinnen-und-kuenstler/jenny-alten

Can you help me with that? The links look okay in the Firefox Inspector.
Thank you!

Dear @lortnok
this is not possible yet. You could try with a custom html menu which you display on specific pages?

Best!

@ArneRobot Re: Different menu per page

To have different menus on different pages, you can use the plugin Conditional Menu

Hello! Just letting you know that this would be amazing if you are still working on it:)

Dear Scarlett

@scarlettwyner

It's noted ✅
There could be a workaround for you where you setup multiple menu's & then use some Custom CSS to hide certain menu's depending on a page giving the effect of different menu's for different pages.

For example I have 4 menu's

On Page A - Menu's 2,3,4 are hidden leaving menu 1 visible
On Page B - Menu's 1,3,4 are hidden leaving menu 2 visible
On Page C - Menu's 1,2,4 are hidden leaving menu 3 visible
On Page D - Menu's 1,2,3 are hidden leaving menu 4 visible

This method would give you up to 4 different menu's.

Another way could be just to have one menu with all the needed menu-items & for example

1 menu in total:
Page A - Menu -items 2,3,4,5,6 hidden leaving menu item 1 visible
Page B - Menu -items 1,3,4,5,6 hidden leaving menu item 2 visible
Page C - Menu -items 1,2,4,5,6 hidden leaving menu item 3 visible
Page D - Menu -items 1,2,3,5,6 hidden leaving menu item 4 visible

Etc

With this method you can have many menu's for different pages if you were willing to set it all up.

Just some thoughts that may help you if needed 🌻

Dear Richard, thank you for this post. I am trying to solve a multilingual page with this approach. Do you mind sharing the CSS code of how to hide menus leaving 1 visible?

Thanks in advance

hey!

if you use a multilanguage plugin, cant you translate the menu items here
/wp-admin/nav-menus.php

if you use a browsers inspect element tools

you see for example the main navigation has class:

nav.primary

to hide it:

nav.primary{
display:none;
}
