Requirements

Base requirements

1. WordPress 5.0+
2. Use of the WordPress 3 Menu System (found in Appearance > Menus)
3. Use of a theme coded to WordPress standards
4. Use of the standard jQuery version included with WordPress (v3+)

Requirements for Automatic Integration

The following are additionally required of your theme if you wish to integrate UberMenu automatically, rather than adding a line of PHP to your theme template.

1. Proper use of the wp_nav_menu function
2. Use of the theme_location argument within the wp_nav_menu arguments (standard best practice)
3. A properly registered theme location
4. No use of the menu argument within the wp_nav_menu arguments (incorrect if used with theme_location)
5. Modular coding – CSS and JS based on the container ID or class passed to wp_nav_menu, rather than a hard-coded wrapper class, and/or class selectors rather than tag selectors

Any properly coded theme will meet requirements 1-4.

If requirement 5 is not met, you may have residual styling or residual scripting from the theme (meaning the theme’s CSS and javascript will interfere with UberMenu’s functionality). If so, you can just replace it with UberMenu’s manual integration code.
