Ever wanted to be able to automatically have category and pages children automatically added to your menus? I’m sure I did and was disappointed to not find something that dead simple that works and doesn’t mess up with the theme or other plugins.
Now bear with me on this one as it is my first WP plugin for like a decade and the first ever to be shared so i kept it quite basic.
How it works:
| WordPress | 3.1+ requiredTested up to 4.8.28 |
| PHP | false+ required |
