This plugin enables you to upload images for nav menu items on a menu edit screen.
By default, those images will be displayed instead of text for respective menu items.
Note that after upload, you should set an image as ‘featured’ to be able to display
it.
You can also set images that will be displayed only when you hover menu item, or
when menu item is of currently displayed page. [Read detailed instructions about using plugin](http://blog.milandinic.com/wordpress/plugins/nav-menu-images/#how-to-use).
Developers can use many available filters to make their own way of displaying images,
or even create a child class on top of base one. See source code for more ideas.
Although this plugin displays uploaded images out of the box, it will probably not
give best possible look, so it’s recommended to create custom CSS styles for affected
elements.
Nav Menu Images code is partly based on a code from now defunct plugin Custom Menu

### [Works well.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-well-1105/)
[Chris Dennis](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chrisdennis/) July 10, 2017
No problems so far.
### [Ruin my menu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ruin-my-menu/)
[tahag](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tahag/) March 27, 2017
it break my menu style
### [False sense of security?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/false-sense-of-security-2/)
[jemcbade](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jemcbade/) March 8, 2017
This is “half” the equation for the purpsoe. If you hide a menu item with this plugin,
this does not mean that search engines can’t see it. Be SURE and also password protect
any pages you want to protect. As stated, you will need additional an additional
plugin to control access to conbtent. This plugin ONLY hides the menu item, but
again, not from search engines. Beware!
### [Didn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/didnt-work-174/)
[jdaviescoates](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jdaviescoates/) November 8, 2016
I tried this on a multisite install but it didn’t work – the option to upload an
image just didn’t appear at all
### [Does what it promise](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-promise-3/)
[mathiasholmbo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mathiasholmbo/) October 18, 2016
Does what it’s supposed to. Would love the possibility to choose wether or not to
replace all link content – would be nice if the link text would still be shown +
adding a custom class to image.
### [Great Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-2161/)
[rejithkumarsl](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rejithkumarsl/) September 28, 2016
