How It Works

The plugin automatically creates a backup whenever you update a menu

Backups are stored in the WordPress options table with complete menu structure (hierarchy, locations, CSS classes, custom post_meta)

Manage backups from the legacy Menus page (classic themes), the Appearance > Menu Backups page (block themes), or inline from the Site Editor inspector when editing a Navigation block — rename, export, delete, restore, or bulk-select

Restore any previous version with a single click, the existing menu is updated in-place, keeping theme locations intact

Export one or multiple menus as a single JSON file for portability or import to other sites

Configure the maximum number of backups to keep in the settings

Requirements

WordPress 5.0 or higher

PHP 7.2 or higher

What Users Have to Say on Reddit “That’s a super useful idea! Menus are so easy to wipe out by accident, and restoring from a full backup always feels like overkill. Nice work!”

“Really appreciate it, This will come in handy alot!”

“Oh man, I’ve done this before too. Lost a big menu while trying to rearrange items and it was gone in a click. Ended up re-building from scratch.

This plugin sounds like a lifesaver — surprised WordPress hasn’t built something like this in by default.”

“Kind of an automatic backup vs having to schedule one.”

“that’s a killer quality of life plugin wp’s missing so many of those “one click undo” features for common mistakes”

“Great idea! I do this more often than I care to admit. This needs to be in Core!”

“Dude I literally do this all the time and actually did it less than an hour ago. I hate how the WordPress menu isn’t stored normally. Thanks for this!”
