Menu Backup & Restore protects every WordPress menu, both classic nav_menu menus and block-theme wp_navigation posts edited in the Site Editor, with automatic backups, one-click restoration, and powerful import/export capabilities. Transfer menus between sites seamlessly with intelligent per-item mapping that rewrites page, post, and category references for the target site.

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!”
