Navception: The act of embedding a pre-constructed WordPress Menu inside another WordPress Menu.
Navception adds a simple feature to WordPress Menus, but opens the door to powerful possibilities. New to your WordPress Nav Menu editor, is a box that lets you add menus into your menus! This allows you to create one menu to include as a submenu once in another menu, multiple times in another menu, or multiple times in multiple menus. What makes this so powerful is that if you decide that your submenu needs another link added to it, you only have to update it in one place! Navception, a simple concept with powerful results!
