Thank you for an AWESOME plugin! Ok Folks, this plugin not only allows you to drag and drop a menu item Anywhere in the menu bar you want, but it also allows you to Drag a menu item on top of another menu item, thereby causing it to be a submenu item. My only question is, why is the 2.0 version only available on GitHub, and not the WordPress site? Another awesome feature is that when you click on your newly created menu, the submenu appears to the right and not below the menu item as the default WordPress does. This is a very cool feature that will not cause a menu item like your Settings to expand and take up the A large amount of your menu bar on the left.
WordPress users, if you want the latest, working plug-in you will have to go to the website listed below by the author. This is an awesome plug-in and the only working plug-in to manage the admin menu on the backend of your WordPress sites To this granular level. Downloading this plug-in from GitHub will install straight to your WordPress site without any additional unzipping.
Thank You SOOOO much Pascal!

Hi there
It’s possible that we’ve already fixed this bug in version 2.0 alpha of this plugin, so if you could give that one a try (ideally on a development site), you can download it here: https://github.com/wearerequired/admin-menu-manager/releases/tag/2.0.0-alpha“

This plugin does not work with the latest version of WordPress and WooCommerce. I was having issues seeing all the menu items for WooCommerce after updating to the latest versions. Once I deactivated this plugin, it all work correctly and I could see all the missing menu items. This plugin needs to be updated.

The plugin still works well on 4.9.x and is really simple and useful so a big fan, the only issue I had with it was in some cases it seems to create a new sub menu item that doesn’t lead anywhere. It’s a bit of a shame but other than that I really like it.
