Install the Navi+ AI Menu Builder plugin
The plugin’s full name on WordPress.org is Naviplus Menu Builder. In the rest of these docs it’s referred to as Navi+ AI Menu Builder (or just Navi+).
The plugin is published on the official WordPress.org plugin directory, so it installs the same way as any other WordPress plugin — no ZIP from a third party, no license key.
Directory: https://wordpress.org/plugins/naviplus-menu-builder/
Option A — Install from the WordPress admin (recommended)
- Log in to your WordPress admin (
/wp-admin/). - Go to Plugins → Add New.
- Search for Naviplus Menu Builder (or just Navi+).
- Click Install Now, then Activate.
After activation the plugin is available under Appearance → Naviplus Menu Builder in the admin sidebar.
Option B — Upload a ZIP
Use this if your host blocks installs from the directory.
- On the WordPress.org plugin page, click Download to get the
.zipfile. - In your admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Pick the ZIP, click Install Now, then Activate Plugin.
Option C — FTP / file manager
- Extract the plugin ZIP. The root folder inside the archive is
naviplus-menu-builder/. - Upload that folder into
wp-content/plugins/on your server. - In Plugins → Installed Plugins, click Activate on Naviplus Menu Builder.
Option D — WP-CLI
wp plugin install naviplus-menu-builder --activate
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8 or newer — using the latest stable WordPress your host supports is recommended.
- Administrator capability — needed to install plugins and edit Appearance.
After activation
The plugin is installed but not yet rendering anything — that happens after you create your first menu in the editor, at which point the plugin auto-connects your site to Navi+.
Continue with Create your first menu.
