Hi Myrddin-Emrys,

Short story: not yet, but already in development.

Long story: that feature was already in the list for future updates, but we are already facing some delays for the next major update of the plugin (with some new cool features like the ability to open the menu with swiping gestures in mobile devices), which will happen by the end of March. Moreover, we are likely not to include that option yet in that update, as it implies a change in the very core of the plugin and we would like to test such a critical change properly.
We can tell you that we will allow to have up to 4 instances of the plugin, so you could end up having one menu at each side of the screen (top-bottom-left-right).

Best wishes

Hi Betxxl,

We are sad to hear that the plugin does not fit your plans. Many thanks for the review anyway.

Now the long explanation:

The menu is not intended for submenus items, and I am afraid that it will never be as it is meant to be a compact, straightforward and mobile-oriented navigation.

We wanted in origin and we are still developing new features towards those goals. In our modest opinion, we believe that in small-medium size websites, blogs or portfolios the use of submenus should be avoided as they do not fit anymore in a fast and smooth user experience, specially in tablets, mobiles and touch-screen laptops.
On the other hand, if the site is big, then submenus are likely to be needed at some point, but in that case this plugin could only be an extra menu to draw attention towards social links, or special deals, or change the language, or whatever other info to highlight.

Apart of the goal, there are also some technical limitations and difficulties to overcome from the developer point of view. And if we go to tackle them, then this plugin could not probably have a free version anymore and the pro-version could not be so cheap as it is now.
(There are anyway some other good menu plugins out there already oriented for mobile-oriented navigation with a lot of submenus. Those that open from the side, like a mobile native drawer menu.)

Moreover, and just in case anyone has a doubt, in the descriptions it is clearly stated that there is a limitation of 8 elements. And it is easy to check in any of the several demos at the official website that the menu does not have the ability to show sub-menus.

Best wishes Betxxl!

Hi soulrebel,

Look, for example in the official site of the plugin there is this demo that is using TwentyTwelve and it is working ok.

The plugin adds an overlay to any theme using a very high z-index, and it uses its own html and css layouts to not interfere with the main theme being used. After many testing we only found an error with a commercial theme regarding font-awesome icons.

So, my guess is if you have manage the options of the plugin and click save changes, because if not you cannot expect to see any output.
Moreover, more guesses that I could think about that could also help other people not seeing the circular menu:

– Are at least 2 elements set up for the menu and less than 9?. As stated in FAQs section, the menu is intended for 2 to 8 elements.
– Have you set at least a text, or an icon, or both for each menu element?. Each navigation element needs at least one of those to work properly.

I am more than happy to help you out if you still do not manage to get it working, but then I will need more information to check what it could be happening.

Cheers
