Description
On Appearance Menus, WordPress adds every checked page or category as a top-level menu item. This plugin keeps the original hierarchy.
Example: if you select About, Our Team, Leadership, and History and click Add to Menu, the menu receives the same tree:
- About
- Our Team
- Leadership
- History
- Our Team
Works with:
- Pages
- Hierarchical custom post types
- Categories
- Hierarchical custom taxonomies
If you skip an intermediate parent (for example you select About and Leadership but not Our Team), the item is nested under the nearest selected ancestor.
