  • Great - exactly what I wanted.

    Does an excellent job doing exactly what I wanted to, organize and group my admin menu. If I could ask for anything additional, the ability to disable icons on main level items added to the second level, and the ability to move items between levels, ie. move items from the third level to the second level. But overall, this solves exactly what I wanted to do.

  • Life savier

    Works w/ PHP 8.3 + WP6.6.1 Since references that I can find for WP core for menu items go back to early 2010, I don't think this plugin has to be updated frequently. It does the job real quick. I super appreicate the dev's effort on this.

  • I always needed something like this

    It works perfect. I can even drag and hide each item, which is more than I expected to find. It's excellent.
