Getting Started

Installation

1. In wp-admin go to Plugins → Add New Plugin.
2. Search for cascading dropdown redirect.
3. Click Install Now on Cascading Dropdown Redirect Block – Elmspur Cascade, then Activate.

Alternatively, download the .zip from WordPress.org (coming soon) and install via Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin.

Adding the block

1. Edit any post, page, or template in the block editor.
2. Click the block inserter (+) and search for Cascading.
3. Insert the Cascading Dropdown Redirect Block.
4. In the sidebar, click Open menu builder.
5. Click Add item to create your first top-level option. Give it a label.
6. To create a sub-level, click an item and use Add child, or drag it to nest it under another item.
7. On leaf items (items with no children), enter the destination URL — this is where the visitor lands.
8. Save or Update the post when done.

Testing it

Preview the page. The first dropdown shows your top-level items. Selecting one enables the next level, and so on until a leaf item (one with a URL) is reached. Visitors are redirected either immediately — if you enabled Redirect immediately in the sidebar — or when they click the Go button.

The Navigation block variant

There is a second block called Cascading Dropdown Redirect — Nav. Open the Navigation block in the Site Editor, click +, and insert it inline between your other nav links. It uses the same tree builder and settings, auto-redirects on final selection by default, and stacks vertically in the mobile overlay.
