<p><strong><em>Have you ever been annoyed by being not able to insert a new item as submenu parent or to delete menu items without opening the menu item panel? A free and easy to use plugin saving you time working in WordPress.</em></strong></p>
<h4>Your benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>You can delete menu items in a 1-click process instead of opening the menu item panel.</li>
<li>You can move the menu items in 1-click process without opening the panel.</li>
<li>You see via icons on the left sidebar if a page, post, category etc. is already used in the current menu.</li>
<li>You see the used menu items by hovering over the items in the left sidebar.</li>
<li>You have the possibility to do quick inserts of menu items, where you can place them at the position you like.</li>
<li>You can modify the behavior of inserting/moving elements downwards.</li>
<li>It shows you additionally the original name of a menu item on the outer level like in the opened panel.</li>
<li>Saves you a lot of time by reducing clicks not needed to work with the menu items in the backend.</li>
<li>It´s free and easy to use.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Different behaviors</h4>
<p>Inserting/moving menu items downwards is enriched by two new behaviors. Moving/inserting rightwards, upwards is the same as provided by WordPress.<br />
Leftwards moving/inserting is a special case. The leftwards functionality is nearly the same as provided by WordPress expect the scenario when<br />
the menu item becomes a menu parent and create a submenu by moving one step left.<br />
The different behaviors can be seen in the <strong><em>Screenshots section</em></strong>.</p>
<h4>Same-level behavior</h4>
<p>When choosing this behavior menu items will be inserted/moved after submenus. The default behavior provided by WordPress inserts/moves the menu item into the submenu.<br />
If you move/insert a menu item and the next menu item is the parent of a submenu it will stay on the same level, but the position is after the submenu.</p>
<h4>Take-children elements behavior</h4>
<p>When choosing this behavior menu items will become new submenu parents when inserted/moved if they would become the parent of the submenu children elements.<br />
This is true for downwards/leftwards moving/inserting.</p>
<h4>Quick insert multiple menu items</h4>
<p>It can be very handy to insert multiple menu items to a specific menu element to create a submenu.</p>
<h4>Compatible</h4>
<p>The plugin is compatible with a multisite setup.</p>
