The Jumbo: A 3-in-1 Full-Screen Menu for WordPress plugin is a premium extension designed to replace or supplement your theme's default navigation with a modern, highly customizable menu that offers three main layout options.
It is particularly popular because it creates an immersive, focused user experience that is ideal for mobile devices and modern website designs.
The "3-in-1" typically refers to the main display formats the plugin offers, allowing you to choose the best style for your site:
Full Screen Overlay Menu: When the user clicks the menu icon (often a hamburger), the navigation expands to cover the entire screen. This eliminates distractions and focuses the user entirely on the navigation links.
Lateral/Off-Canvas Menu: The menu slides in from the side (left or right) of the screen, similar to a flyout or sidebar menu. This is a common and highly effective design pattern for mobile responsiveness.
Column-Based Design (Mega Menu Style): Within the full-screen or lateral view, you can structure your links into multi-level, multi-column layouts, effectively creating a stylized mega menu for better content organization.
The plugin provides extensive options to control every aspect of the menu's appearance and behavior:
