Automatically create menu items for your custom post types in your chosen menu and parent menu item.

Ken Dirschl

<p>Custom Post Type Auto Menu allows the user to choose a custom post type, a menu, and a menu parent item to which new custom post type posts<br />
will be added automatically. This simplifies the menu process for users who may not be comfortable adding items to menus, or<br />
for sites that have a large number of custom post type additions, such as products.</p>
<p>The plugin supports multiple custom post types.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>The custom post type you wish to use must be have both ‘public’ and ‘show_in_nav_menus’ set to true.</li>
<li>Your theme must have menus.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Ampersands and other HTML entites in titles can sometimes have curious results, such as multiple menu items.</li>
<li>After a custom post type post has been published, if it is downgraded to ‘draft’ the item stays in the menu.</li>
<li>Bulk trashing custom post types will leave the menu items behind. Trash custom post types one at a time and it works fine.</li>
<li>Menu items can not have the same name, even if attached to different menus.</li>
<li>Known to conflict with Anything Order plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/anything-order/</li>
</ul>
