Navcrate Menu Manager

Description

Navcrate Menu Manager adds a bulk-action toolbar to WordPress’s own menu editor. Managing large navigation menus in Appearance Menus normally means editing one item at a time — WordPress core has no way to delete, retarget, or move several items at once. This plugin fixes that.

When you open a menu, every item gets a checkbox and a toolbar appears above the list, letting you:

  • Select all / deselect all items with one click.
  • Expand all / collapse all item panels at once.
  • Delete every selected item in a single action.
  • Open in new tab / same tab — toggle target="_blank" on all selected items.
  • Move to another menu — move selected items (with their sub-item hierarchy) into a different menu.
  • Copy to another menu — duplicate selected items into another menu, leaving the originals untouched.

Everything happens inside the native editor. The plugin adds no new admin pages, stores no custom tables, and makes no external HTTP requests.

FAQ

Does this change or replace the default menu editor?

No. It augments the native editor. All built-in functionality remains; the plugin only adds a checkbox to each item and a toolbar above the list.

What happens to sub-items when I move or copy items?

Parent/child relationships between selected items are preserved. If you select a child item but not its parent, the child becomes a top-level item in the destination menu.

Do I need to click “Save Menu” after a bulk action?

No. Bulk item actions apply immediately and the editor refreshes to show the result.

Does the plugin send any data to external servers?

No. All processing happens on your own site. The plugin makes no external requests and collects no data.

What capability is required to use it?

The same capability WordPress requires to manage menus: edit_theme_options (Administrators by default).
