A plain text menu works for most WordPress sites… But it doesn’t always stand out enough. Icons can change that. They make each link easier to spot. You can use icons to guide visitors, highlight key pages, or simply make your navigation look sharper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In this post, I’ll show you two clear ways<\/strong> to add custom icons to otherwise standard WordPress menus. You’ll see each step with screenshots so nothing feels confusing and you won’t need to guess your way around this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ⚠️ Before you start<\/strong>: There are two separate tutorials presented below. One is for classic theme users and the other for block theme users. If you’re unsure which type you’re using, you can easily check via the WordPress dashboard. Using the lefthand side menu, go to Appearance<\/strong> and then look at the submenu options. If you see an option for Editor<\/strong> then you have a block theme activated. If not, you’re on a classic theme. You can use the table of contents below to skip to the section that’s relevant to you.<\/p>\n\n\n \r\n \n
