<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This plugin was built by <a href="http://www.newnine.com/" title="New Nine Media & Advertising" rel="nofollow ugc">New Nine Media & Advertising</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Single Site & Network Compatible</strong></p>

<h4>No undesirable visual effects</h4>
<p>The visual appearance of menus and category lists in the frontend remains unchanged in most cases. If you should see an undesirable visual effect to the menus and category lists in your theme, then you can activate the needed CSS classes on the plugin’s options page.</p>
<h4>Deactivate it and keep your settings</h4>
<p>If you deactivate the plugin, your settings remains. If you activate the plugin again, your last settings will be used. You do not need to go over all settings again.</p>
<h4>Residue-free deletion</h4>
<p>If you delete the plugin via the WordPress ‘Plugin’ menu, your settings will be deleted, too. No useless option remains in the WordPress database.</p>
<h4>Default setting: Marks the current menu item only</h4>
<p>The default setting is to output only the CSS classes for the navigation menu items of the current post and the current category.</p>
<h4>Stops displaying CSS classes of parents and ancestors of menu items and category list items</h4>
<p>If activated by yourself, then items which are parents of the current item will not be classified as ancestors additionally. You can set that separately for both menus and category lists.</p>
<h4>Stops displaying CSS classes of outdated page menus</h4>
<p>This plugin filters out the old CSS classes of page menus in navigation menus. Using the WordPress menu configurator the page menu classes are not necessary anymore.</p>
<h4>Stops displaying #menu-{id}</h4>
<p>This plugin deletes the ID attribute of each menu item. In most cases the ID of every menu item is not needed.</p>
<h4>Stops displaying CSS classes of category lists</h4>
<p>This plugin filters out the CSS classes of each item in category lists.</p>
<h4>Uses WordPress standard functions</h4>
<p>This plugin hooks into the WordPress core functions <code>wp_nav_menu()</code>, <code>wp_page_menu()</code> and <code>wp_list_categories()</code>. It changes the results of those functions to the settings you have done.</p>
<h4>Switch on and off every CSS menu item class</h4>
<p>You can:</p>
<ul>
<li>select and deselect in detail every CSS menu item class the WordPress core functions <code>wp_nav_menu()</code>, <code>wp_page_menu()</code> and <code>wp_list_categories()</code> generate</li>
<li>control whether the id attribute of each navigation menu item is printed out or not</li>
<li>control whether parent items will be additionally classified as ancestors item or not. You can activate to print out both classes on parent items or just parents classes</li>
<li>control whether navigation menus will be additionally classified with the older page menu classes for compatibility or not.</li>
</ul>
