v1.3.0 Added support for dropdown menu (responsive) alignment: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/dropdowns/#menu-alignment

Here is how it works:

  • From Appearance -> Menus page of WordPress, check the CSS Classes checkbox under Screen Options;
  • Add a Custom Link with "#" in the URL field (this would be the parent of your dropdown);
  • On the CSS Classes field add any of the following alignment classes: 'dropdown-menu-start', 'dropdown-menu-end', 'dropdown-menu-sm-start', 'dropdown-menu-sm-end', 'dropdown-menu-md-start', 'dropdown-menu-md-end', 'dropdown-menu-lg-start', 'dropdown-menu-lg-end', 'dropdown-menu-xl-start', 'dropdown-menu-xl-end', 'dropdown-menu-xxl-start', 'dropdown-menu-xxl-end';
  • If any of the mentioned above class is detected, then they will automatically copied into the ul.dropdown-menu element following the Bootstrap 5 structure;
  • Any other class that is not related to the dropdown menu alignment will stay where it is.
