Navigation Block with Mega Menu

71 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

At roughly 1,000 active installs, this is a niche plugin with limited reach compared to category leaders like Max Mega Menu at 300,000 installs.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated July 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, so it is recent and current, though with only 0 support threads it is hard to gauge long-term responsiveness.

User Rating

11/15

A 70 out of 100 rating from 13 reviewers is decent but the small sample size means the rating is not statistically reliable.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved means there is no track record either way: the plugin may have no issues, or users may be giving up and going elsewhere.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 5.7 and PHP 5.6, which is broad compatibility, and it is tested up to WordPress 6.8.5, earning a solid compatibility score.

What It Does

Navigation Block with Mega Menu (Getwid) is a Gutenberg block-based mega menu builder from MotoPress that lets you construct multi-column navigation layouts directly in the WordPress block editor. It extends the default navigation block with dropdowns, widgets, and custom content rows for richer site headers. In practice, you assemble menus visually using blocks rather than relying on a settings panel.

Who It's For

This plugin fits site owners who prefer the block editor for everything and need a simple, visual way to build multi-column menus without learning a dedicated mega menu UI. It works well for small to mid-sized catalogs, blogs, and content-heavy sites on WordPress 5.7 or newer running PHP 5.6+. Teams already invested in the Getwid block ecosystem will get the most cohesive experience.

Who Should Skip It

If you run a high-traffic store or need advanced mega menu controls such as flyout animations, badge labels, or conditional visibility, Max Mega Menu is a better fit with 300,000 installs and an 86.73 score. Elementor-based sites should consider Happy Addons for Elementor instead, since Getwid targets Gutenberg, not Elementor templates.

The Bottom Line

Navigation Block with Mega Menu delivers a clean block-editor experience but trails category leaders on scale, ratings depth, and feature breadth, earning an overall score of 59.34. It is a reasonable pick for lightweight Gutenberg-only sites that want visual mega menus without a learning curve. For serious e-commerce or enterprise menus, Max Mega Menu remains the safer bet.

Pick Spectra if you want 1,000,000+ installs, a 94.82 score, and a much wider library of Gutenberg blocks beyond just menus.

Breadcrumb NavXT 88/100

Pick Breadcrumb NavXT when your navigation priority is breadcrumb trails and SEO-friendly path indicators rather than mega menus.

Happy Addons for Elementor 87/100

Pick Happy Addons if your site is built with Elementor and you want polished navigation widgets inside that ecosystem.

Max Mega Menu 87/100

Pick Max Mega Menu for a dedicated, feature-rich mega menu plugin with 300,000 installs, strong ratings, and proven support.

PDF Embedder 86/100

Pick PDF Embedder when the actual problem is embedding PDFs in pages and posts, not building menus at all.
