On my site, I try to implement a dynamic menu for each post based on the categories the post is associated with. The following sketch shows what I am trying to implement:

However, I have no idea how to succeed in doing this. Of course, here I was thinking of a “mega menu” and the power of dynamic data, but I have no idea how to implement that. Maybe someone of you has an idea?

At first I thought maybe I should go through the menu function of wordpress, but the menu function gets fiddly fast the bigger and more complex it gets.

My own choice to solve this was to have a ‘mega-menu’ for each category.

WP-Nav menu = ‘item’, ‘item’, ‘mega-cat1’, ‘mega-cat2’ etc.

For mega-cat1 I chose the template ‘cat1-drop’

In the template ‘cat1-drop’ I created a query to find the posts of the right category. So then posts of cat1 appear under ‘mega-cat1’ automatically.

You need the loop builder. I made one. See the videos for the idea
