<p><strong>Swift Menu Duplicator</strong> gives you full control over your WordPress navigation menus. Clone any menu in one click, manage all menus from a dedicated admin page, version them with snapshots, move them across Multisite sub-sites, and automate everything from the command line or REST API.</p>
<h3>One-Click Duplication</h3>
<ul>
<li>Duplicate button right in the menu editor footer — no page reload required</li>
<li>Full hierarchy preserved via a two-pass clone that remaps all parent-child item IDs</li>
<li>All item metadata copied — type, object, URL, target, CSS classes, XFN, description</li>
<li>Duplicate individual menu items directly from the menu editor</li>
<li>Custom name support — filter <code>swift_menu_duplicator_new_menu_name</code> to override the default “(Copy)” suffix</li>
</ul>
<h3>Snapshot Revisions</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Auto-snapshot</strong> — a snapshot is saved automatically before every menu save</li>
<li><strong>Manual snapshots</strong> — save named snapshots from the menu editor at any time</li>
<li><strong>Browse & restore</strong> — view all snapshots in an expandable panel and restore with one click</li>
<li><strong>Housekeeping</strong> — delete individual snapshots you no longer need</li>
</ul>
<h3>Menu Manager (Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Menu Manager)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Dedicated page listing every menu on the site in a sortable WP_List_Table</li>
<li><strong>Bulk duplicate</strong> — clone multiple menus at once</li>
<li><strong>Bulk export</strong> — download selected menus as a single ZIP archive</li>
<li><strong>Bulk delete</strong> — remove multiple menus in one action</li>
<li>Row actions — duplicate or export individual menus directly from the list</li>
</ul>
<h3>JSON Export / Import</h3>
<ul>
<li>Export any menu to a portable JSON file (via admin or REST API)</li>
<li>Import from a JSON file upload or paste JSON directly into the text area</li>
<li><strong>URL find & replace</strong> — swap domain names during import for staging <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> production migrations</li>
<li><strong>Dry-run preview</strong> — review what will be imported before making any changes to the database</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multisite Support</h3>
<ul>
<li>Copy any menu to another site in your WordPress Multisite network</li>
<li>Automatic URL rewriting in item URLs when copying across sub-sites</li>
</ul>
<h3>REST API</h3>
<p>Full REST API at <code>/wp-json/cmd/v1/</code> for headless and block-editor integrations:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>POST /menus/{id}/duplicate</code> — duplicate a menu (optional <code>name</code> parameter)</li>
<li><code>GET  /menus/{id}/export</code> — export a menu as a JSON payload</li>
<li><code>POST /menus/{id}/items/{item_id}/duplicate</code> — duplicate a single menu item</li>
</ul>
<p>Permission is controlled by the <code>swmd_rest_permission</code> filter (defaults to <code>edit_theme_options</code>).</p>
<h3>WP-CLI</h3>
<p>Full command-line support under the <code>wp swift-menu-duplicator</code> command group:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>wp swift-menu-duplicator duplicate <menu-id> [--name=<name>]</code> — duplicate a menu</li>
<li><code>wp swift-menu-duplicator export <menu-id> [--output=<file>]</code> — export to JSON</li>
<li><code>wp swift-menu-duplicator import <file> [--name=<name>] [--find=<str>] [--replace=<str>] [--dry-run] [--porcelain]</code> — import from JSON</li>
<li><code>wp swift-menu-duplicator copy-to-site <menu-id> --target-blog=<id> [--name=<name>] [--find=<str>] [--replace=<str>]</code> — copy to a sub-site</li>
</ul>
<h3>Multilingual Compatibility</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>WPML</strong> — translation meta keys (<code>_icl_lang_duplicate_of</code>, <code>wpml_language</code>, etc.) are stripped from duplicated items automatically</li>
<li><strong>Polylang</strong> — language meta keys (<code>_pll_synced_taxonomies</code>, <code>_pll_menu_language</code>, etc.) are stripped from duplicated items automatically</li>
<li>Additional keys can be excluded via the <code>swmd_compat_excluded_meta_keys</code> filter</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer Hooks</h3>

<li><code>swmd_rest_permission</code> — control REST API access</li>
<li><code>swmd_before_duplicate_item</code> / <code>swmd_after_duplicate_menu_item</code> — fired around item duplication</li>
<li><code>swmd_after_import_menu</code> — fired after a successful import</li>
<li><code>swmd_item_meta_keys</code> — control which meta keys are copied</li>
<li><code>swmd_compat_excluded_meta_keys</code> — extend the multilingual meta exclusion list</li>

<li>Database queries use <code>$wpdb->prepare()</code> — no string concatenation</li>
