Description

When adding a page, category, or any hierarchical custom post type or taxonomy to your navigation menu (Appearance → Menus), this plugin allows you to optionally automatically add all descendants (children) of that menu item as submenu items.

In short, you’ll no longer have to manually maintain submenus when you add a new child page to your site.

Installation

Visit Plugins → Add New in your administration area and search for the name of this plugin.

Works great and it's clean

Still works great. Much better than Gecka Submenu - it doesn't break the layout on the menu screen and there's no unnecessary pro version upsell. I hope this is updated at some point because its age is hiding it from WP's search results.
