About this plugin

Menu Item Badges adds two simple fields to every menu item in Appearance Menus:

  • Badge (Text) – e.g. NEU, AKTION, WM 2026
  • Badge Color (optional) – set a custom hex color like #e74c3c

Badges are rendered as a clean pill-shaped label right next to the menu item title on the frontend.
Perfect for seasonal campaigns, promotions, and important navigation entries (e.g. “Public Viewing Technik mieten” “WM 2026”).

No theme editing required.

Usage

  1. Go to Appearance Menus (wp-admin/nav-menus.php)
  2. Expand the desired menu item.
  3. Set:
    • Badge (Text): e.g. WM 2026
    • Badge Color (optional): e.g. #e74c3c
  4. Save the menu.

To remove a badge, simply clear the Badge (Text) field and save.
