• When I want to save the menu I get:

    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@trancewerk.nl and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    I never had this before.

    Take a look at your server’s PHP error log. It might have more details about what caused the error. Look for errors that mention the admin-menu-editor directory, or errors that occurred at the same time as when you tried to save the menu. If you’re not sure where to find the log – the location can vary depending on server configuration – try asking your host.

    Also, is your server running ModSecurity or similar security/IDS software? In rare cases, software like that can prevent people from saving the menu because:

    a) The menu configuration data exceeds some maximum request/field size limit set by the server. I’ve seen systems where that limit was surprisingly low, e.g. on the order of 64 KB. This would explain why the error showed up and not before – the menu configuration gets larger as you change more settings.

    b) The menu configuration contains “suspicious” keywords. For example, there was a case where a user couldn’t save their menu because their menu titles contained the words “update” and “set”. Their server was set up to block any request with those keywords, presumably because the keywords might also be used in SQL injection.

    That’s interesting; I’ve personally tested the plugin up to PHP 5.5.18 and it worked fine, so I would have thought PHP 5.5.29 would also work. Maybe there was something else going on as well, like an out-of-memory error.
