6. Backend Hooks
If you even want to make a deeper customization of the admin panel, you can also change some settings and functionalities.
6.3. Change the LESS files
If has not been enough to integrate QuadMenu with your theme, then you can make a radical change in the style.
As we’ve previously mentioned in the documentation, the QuadMenu style is created dynamically each time the user makes a change in the administration panel. So if you want to radically change the menu style you’ve to modify the LESS files that are used to create it.
To do this, you have to change the LESS files in the compiler. Thus, you can upload files from your theme and make any changes you think necessary.
add_filter('quadmenu.compiler_files', 'my_hook_compiler_files');
function my_hook_compiler_files($files) {
$files = array();
$files[] = get_template_directory() . '/quadmenu-locations.less';
$files[] = get_template_directory() . '/quadmenu-widgets.less';
return $files;
}6.4. Add your own icons
If you have your own set of icons in your theme and you want to include them inside the QuadMenu core you can use this filter.
As we’ve previously mentioned in the documentation, the QuadMenu items includes a tab that allows you to include icons in the item.
We’ve included a filter that allows you to hook the default font icons loaded by QuadMenu and include your own icons.
To make this work you’ll have to add the name of your icons, the URL of the font icons and classes of the font icons in the stylesheet.
add_filter('quadmenu_register_icons', 'my_hook_icons', 1);
function my_hook_icons() {
$my_icons = array(
'dashicons' => array(
'name' => 'Dashicons',
'url' => false,
'prefix' => '',
