The New Nine Menus Manager adds a section to the ‘Appearance -> Menus’ section of your dashboard so you can quickly and easily create and delete menu locations on the fly.
Why? Because we’re tired of jumping back and forth between our functions file and the dashboard. Because we’re tired of writing <code>register_nav_menu</code> over and over again every time we start a new site.
And because there seems to be a disconnect here – just about every site needs to have a navigation menu, there are no configuration options for <code>register_nav_menu</code>, and it just seems to make sense to be able to create and delete menu locations in the dashboard.

Allows users in a WordPress multisite network pull in menus from a main site in order to achieve universal navigation or shared navigation without needing to manually recreate menus.
Plugin is intended for WordPress Multisite environment for plugin to function properly and use the same theme to ensure menu name compatibility.

Multisite Shared Menu

Breaks admin bar on any site this plugin is active on. The admin bar will act like you are on the site that this plugin is getting the shared menus from. 
I'll change my rating if this bug is fixed.



Breaks admin bar.

Works perfectly. Just as described. Saved us a ton of time! Thank you!

Perfect, just what we needed!

Use navigation menus from another multisite blog on the same network to achieve a universal common navigation area.
