Automatically append children posts and pages as submenu items in the frontend
Screenshots
How it looks like in the menu editor
Installation Instructions
Plain and simple
- Upload the plugin folder to the
/wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Go to Appearance->Menu and config each menu item as you like
Is there a limit on the submenus I can have the children automatically populated
No, you can have it enabled on whatever category or page manu you like, no matter how many or how deep they are in your menu structure
I saved my menu but I don’t see the children added in the menu editor
Yes that is correct, the children are shown only in the front-end of your website else you would have problems when saving your menu.
Can I change the ordering of the added children regarding manually added submenu items?
No, currently you cannot. All automatic children will be appended (added to the end) of the submenu. Leave a request on the forum if you would like this feature.
Can I use this plugin with custom post types and taxonomies?
No, currently you cannot. It works with pages and posts assigned to a category. Leave a request on the forum if you would like this feature.
Can i use this plugin along with another menu altering plugin (e.g. megamenu) ?
Yes, all this plugin does is inject items to the nav menu array for the front-end. It doesn’t affect the rendering of the menu. Nonetheless; I cannot guarantee the behaviour of third-party menu plugins which rely on custom post types other than nav_menu_item.
