Overview
This plugin is a boosted version of the WordPress “Custom Menu” widget.
It provides full control over most of the parameters available when calling WP’s wp_nav_menu() function, as well as providing pre-filtering of the menu items in order to be able to select a specific portion of the custom menu.

In short, it is very powerful. I hope the plug-in author can update and adapt to the WP version

Absolutely Great.

Does exactly what it should, how it should, leaving customizing the look to the webmaster. Very, very useful. You can place it anywhere you need a menu in your content, plus customize menus using the widget. Extremely versatile.
