Streamline Your WordPress Menu with Ease
Custom Post Type Auto Menu is a WordPress plugin designed to simplify the process of managing custom post types within menus. It allows users to automatically add posts from selected custom post types to a designated menu and parent item, making it an excellent tool for those who may find manual menu management challenging. This plugin supports multiple custom post types, which is particularly useful for websites with extensive product listings or similar content. Users need to ensure their custom post types are set to 'public' and 'show_in_nav_menus' to utilize the plugin effectively.
The plugin does have some known issues, such as odd behaviors with HTML entities in titles and complications when downgrading custom post types from published to draft. Additionally, bulk actions can lead to leftover menu items, and menu items must have unique names to avoid conflicts. It is also noted that there may be compatibility issues with the Anything Order plugin. Despite these limitations, Custom Post Type Auto Menu remains a valuable tool for enhancing the usability of WordPress menus.
