I have something very exciting to share with you – the new 3.0 version of the CSS menu system will shortly be arriving!
This will be a complete rewrite of the way things work. Because so many users have been after an easier-to-install and run plugin (especially with the new Wordpress plugin install system which hides a lot of the README), I have decided to cut down on all the annoying support requests by providing you with a brand new, re-imagined, install process for this plugin. And, I’ve gone and thrown in all the heirarchical Wordpress elements!
Exciting new features:
- Widgetised dropdowns!!! No more annoying PHP code - but you can still use it the old way!
- Along with the widgetised dropdowns, flyout code designed to fly out to the right or left depending on your orientation choice. Straight from Stu’s labs!
- A javascript sub-plugin using Superfish that can be added for those wishing to use JS timed hovers. This will be (minimally) configurable for this version.
- The plugin will intelligently check for a menus.css file in your existing theme directory. If there isn’t one it’ll include its own.
- Easier setup – quick links to different menu styles, options, and more
- Verified to work with QTranslate
- Links and link categories are now optional!
- Post Categories are now optional also!
This is a massive feature set and one which will take me a further week or two to finish up with. Remember, I’m doing this for you for free. If you would like to donate to support this project, please see the sidebar.
This is a GREAT news !
Thank you so much for the work you’re doing. It is very useful for the Worpress community !
So many great plugins are just outdated because authors have no more time to keep them on tracks.
Hopefully it won’t be the case with CSS Dropdown Menu.
Looking forward to downloading the new 3.0 version.
THANKS AGAIN!
Thanks. This does look exciting – looking forward to trying it out.
Nice news. Thank you for all…

This is terrific news. I’ve got a new blog to which I’ve been wanting to add a dropdown menu. As a result, I’ve been looking around to see what’s available.
This sounds like just the ticket for me.
Thank you.
Hi
Looking forward to having a look at the new work.
I am using Amazing Grace which only has parent pages on the top menu, which really limits the theme IMHO.
I have high hopes that your new scheme will enable me to use drop down pages!
Thanks for your hard work, hope it finishes up ok.
Cheers

Hi,
1. Can i use this plugin for standalone sites. If so how?
Please explain.
2. i am currently trying to use in my wordpress site http://www.alterdna.com and http://www.applycardcreditonline.com
If you see in these blogs, the number of categories is more. So, i am trying to use this plugin.
I just need a simple wordpress dropdown menu for my sidebar using custom links. Is the current plugin usable in this manner? By the way I would be happy to pay someone to code this for me if not.
Please go to my site and fill out the contact form if you can help or just call the number on my page.
I am utterly surprised that I am not able to use a simple dropdown menu in wordpress and am not proficient enough to create my own.
thanks!
The new menu allows custom links!
Having an issue with the menu not working in FireFox or Safari — hovering over main links works, but cannot get the mouse to any of the links after the first one before the list disappears.
I don’t know if this is a browser issue or an issue with the recent upgrade to WP 2.9
Usually this is due to a 1-pixel gap between the first level and second level. Just close it up in your CSS.
