Thank you, thank you, thank you! You really made my day!
And I agree with many others – this should be in wordpress core. Together with Nested Pages. Would be awesome …
I don’t know why this isn’t part of WordPress by default! Thanks for making the menu easier to manage and making it free!!
Excellent, Very Helpful, Must be default feature in WP
This plugin lets you edit large menu structures with ease.
Simple, to the point, this should absolutely be in core.
