‘off-canvas’, ‘container’ => ‘nav’, ‘container_class’ => ‘off-canvas-menu’ ) ); ?>

This code will output a button that can be used to toggle the off-canvas menu. When the button is clicked, the menu will slide into view from the side of the screen.

Step 3: Style the Menu

The final step is to style the menu to match your theme. To do this, you’ll need to edit the ‘style.css’ file of your theme.

First, you’ll need to find the ‘off-canvas-menu’ class and add the following CSS to it:

.off-canvas-menu {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 250px;
background: #fff;
transform: translateX(250px);
transition: transform 0.3s ease-in-out;
}

This CSS will position the menu off-screen to the right of the screen. The menu will also be hidden by default.

Next, you’ll need to find the ‘off-canvas-toggle’ class and add the following CSS to it:

.off-canvas-toggle {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 20px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
cursor: pointer;
z-index: 1;
}

.off-canvas-toggle span {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background: #333;
margin: 5px 0;
}

This CSS will position the toggle button in the top-right corner of the screen. The button will be ‘clickable’ by default.

Finally, you’ll need to add the following CSS to the ‘body’ tag:

.off-canvas-open .off-canvas-menu {
transform: translateX(0);
}

This CSS will make the menu visible when the ‘off-canvas-open’ class is added to the ‘body’ tag.

Step 4: Add the JavaScript

The final step is to add the JavaScript that will toggle the off-canvas menu. To do this, you’ll need to edit the ‘footer.php’ file of your theme.

In the ‘footer.php’ file, you’ll need to find the ” tag and add the following code just before it:

var toggle = document.querySelector(‘.off-canvas-toggle’);
var menu = document.querySelector(‘.off-canvas-menu’);
var body = document.querySelector(‘body’);

toggle.addEventListener(‘click’, function() {
body.classList.toggle(‘off-canvas-open’);
});

This code will add an event listener to the toggle button. When the button is clicked, the ‘off-canvas-open’ class will be added to the ‘body’ tag. This will make the menu visible.

Step 5: Test the Menu

Now that you’ve added the off-canvas menu to your WordPress theme, it’s time to test it. To do this, you’ll need to open your WordPress site in a web browser.

Once your site is open, you should see the toggle button in the top-right corner of the screen. When you click the button, the menu should slide into view from the side of the screen.

You can test the menu on different screen sizes to see how it works on different devices. You should also test the menu on different browsers to make sure it works correctly.

Step 6: Customize the Menu

Now that you’ve added the off-canvas menu to your WordPress theme, you can start customizing it to match your site.

There are a few things that you can customize, such as the width of the menu, the background color, and the position of the toggle button.

You can also add additional CSS to style the menu items. For example, you can add hover effects or change the font size.
