Description
Custom Post Type Auto Menu allows the user to choose a custom post type, a menu, and a menu parent item to which new custom post type posts
will be added automatically. This simplifies the menu process for users who may not be comfortable adding items to menus, or
for sites that have a large number of custom post type additions, such as products.
The plugin supports multiple custom post types.
Requirements
- The custom post type you wish to use must be have both ‘public’ and ‘show_in_nav_menus’ set to true.
- Your theme must have menus.
Known Issues
- Ampersands and other HTML entites in titles can sometimes have curious results, such as multiple menu items.
- After a custom post type post has been published, if it is downgraded to ‘draft’ the item stays in the menu.
- Bulk trashing custom post types will leave the menu items behind. Trash custom post types one at a time and it works fine.
- Menu items can not have the same name, even if attached to different menus.
- Known to conflict with Anything Order plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/anything-order/
