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!”

How to make this plugin work? Create a menu from appearance > menus Select the menu you want to use from settings > PS MenuItems > Select Menu Assign the menu to menu location from appearance > menus Check the items you want to hide from pages > edit > Page Specific Menu Items View the page and the selected items should be gone. How does this plugin works? This plugin adds ‘hide_this_item’ class to selected menu items. Shall I install plugin first or create menu first? It does not matter whether you first create menu and then install this plugin or vice versa. Does this plugin works on custom post type pages? Yes it does. This plugin does not work for me? It should since it works by adding class. Only case it does not work is when ‘hide_this_item’ rules is overriden by other syles (having low value in specificity). This is not actually this plugins issue. Recommended Plugins The following are recommended by the author: BlankPress WordPress Cleaner – This plugin allows you to clean up the WordPress mess.
