### 󠀁[Navigation menu SVG error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/navigation-menu-svg-error/)󠁿

 [imacreste](https://profiles.wordpress.org/imacreste/) Июль 20, 2025-ж.

I placed a navigation block from the editor inside the video block. But it doesn’t
show me the hamburger. The problem is that it doesn’t show the SVG inside the button.
It only happens if I place it inside this block outside of it, and it works fine.
That’s why I had to uncheck:Show button iconConfigures the visual appearance of 
the button that changes the overlay menu. And so, the word MENU appears. Is there
any way to make the menu hamburger appear?

I’ve literally tested over 6 plugins just today to see which ones work for FREE 
and which ones are paid. I also played around with the code directly to see if I
could get it to work the same, which I did; however, this is by and far the best
plugin to use. If you want to do the plugin route, versus custom code!

Great little plugin which adds a Gutenberg video background block which is missing
most other plugins. Responsive support too! An option for cropping the section of
the video for mobile viewing would be great!

This plugin did what I needed in a very simple and intuitive way. I gave it 4 stars
just because there is a minor setback / bug. When I refresh / update the editor,
block is again filled with default content. I think this is because I am using this
plugin just to display a full width video block so I don’t use title, paragraph 
and button.
