- Badge (Text) – e.g. NEU, AKTION, WM 2026
- Badge Color (optional) – set a custom hex color like #e74c3c
Badges are rendered as a clean pill-shaped label right next to the menu item title on the frontend.

FAQ
-
No. A badge is only shown for menu items where you set a Badge (Text).
-
Does it work with my theme?
-
It works with any theme that uses WordPress’ native menu output (
wp_nav_menu()), which is most themes.
If your theme uses a custom header builder that does not use the native walker, the badge may not appear. -
Can I style the badge?
-
Yes. The badge uses the CSS class
.mib-badge.
You can override styling in Appearance Customize Additional CSS.Example:
.mib-badge { font-weight: 700; } -
Can I set custom colors?
-
Yes, via the Badge Color field using a hex value like
#2ecc71or#e74c3c.
