Reviews
what people actually sayMenu Image, Icons Made Easy is a well-liked plugin for adding images to WordPress menus that many users find simple and effective, but it is held back by a buggy interface, mobile limitations, and upsell prompts that frustrate critics.
What people like
- +Works where other similar plugins fail — multiple users switched from alternatives and found this one functional×3
- +Described as simple and easy to set up×4
- +Support team is responsive and resolves issues quickly×3
Common complaints
- −Clicking the icon/image selector freezes or greys out the entire tab, making the plugin non-functional for some users×3
- −Hiding the menu item title does not work on mobile, causing both the title and image to display simultaneously
- −Interface described as weird, nonstandard, and unfinished×2
- −Persistent upsell / 'go pro' nags in the free version×2
- −One user reported the plugin damaged their site and could not be uninstalled
- −Workflow requires saving each menu item before the image option becomes available, which is non-obvious×2
