Title: Copy Paste Ubermenu Settings Author: abda53 Published: September 1, 2026 Last modified: September 1, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/ubermenu-copypaste-settings.svg) # Copy Paste Ubermenu Settings By [abda53](https://profiles.wordpress.org/abda53/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ubermenu-copypaste-settings.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ubermenu-copypaste-settings/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ubermenu-copypaste-settings/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ubermenu-copypaste-settings/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ubermenu-copypaste-settings/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ubermenu-copypaste-settings/) ## Description Copy Paste Ubermenu Settings helps you reuse UberMenu configuration across menu items without re-entering every field by hand. On **Appearance Menus**, each menu item gets compact Copy and Paste controls next to the UberMenu settings toggle. Copy stores that item’s UberMenu settings; Paste applies them to another item after confirmation. **Requirements** * WordPress 5.8 or later * PHP 7.4 or later * [UberMenu](https://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-3) (third-party plugin) must be installed and active * Access to the WordPress admin **Appearance Menus** screen. This plugin adds admin-only copy/paste controls inside UberMenu on that screen. It does **not** work with directly in Full Site Editing (FSE) / block themes that manage navigation in the Site Editor instead of Appearance Menus. This plugin is an independent companion tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by UberMenu / SevenSpark. It does not change your theme, license, front-end menus, or block-based navigation—only the UberMenu settings UI in wp-admin. This plugin only adds Copy/Paste capabilities within the Ubermenu menu settings. **Features** * Copy UberMenu settings from a menu item * Paste those settings onto another menu item (with confirmation) * Same-site mode uses browser local storage (default) * Optional cross-site mode uses the system clipboard so you can move settings between two WordPress sites * Settings page under **Appearance UM Copy/Paste** **Cross-site mode** Enable **Cross-site copy/paste** under Appearance UM Copy/Paste on both sites. Copy writes JSON to the clipboard; Paste reads from the clipboard. Cross-site paste requires a secure context (HTTPS) and a browser that supports the Clipboard API. ## Installation This plugin runs entirely in the WordPress admin. It extends UberMenu on the classic** Appearance Menus** screen and is **not compatible with Full Site Editing (FSE) block themes**, which do not use that screen for navigation. 1. Upload the `ubermenu-copypaste-settings` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the zip via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Confirm UberMenu is installed and active, and that your site uses a classic theme with **Appearance Menus** (not an FSE block theme using the Site Editor for menus). 4. Go to **Appearance Menus** and use the copy/paste icons on menu items that have UberMenu settings. 5. Optionally enable cross-site mode under **Appearance UM Copy/Paste**. ## FAQ ### Does this work without UberMenu? No. UberMenu must be active. Without it, the copy/paste controls are not loaded. ### Does this work with Full Site Editing (FSE) / block themes? No. This plugin only adds controls on the classic **Appearance Menus** admin screen, inside UberMenu’s menu-item settings. FSE block themes use the Site Editor for navigation instead of that screen, so this plugin does not apply and will not help there. Use a classic theme (or a setup where UberMenu and Appearance Menus are available in wp-admin). ### Where are copied settings stored? By default, in the browser’s local storage for the current site. With cross-site mode enabled, settings are copied to and pasted from the system clipboard only ( not stored on the server). ### Is the settings form secure? Yes. The Appearance UM Copy/Paste option uses the WordPress Settings API with capability checks (`manage_options`), nonces, and boolean sanitization. Menu copy/paste runs in the admin UI only for users who can edit menus; pasted data is validated before it is applied to fields. ### Can I paste malicious clipboard data? Pasted JSON is treated as untrusted. The plugin sanitizes keys/values, rejects unsafe media/edit URLs, and never injects clipboard strings as raw HTML. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Copy Paste Ubermenu Settings” is open source software.
