Duplicate Menu

Description

Some WordPress installs use very elaborate navigation systems powered by core Menus. They’re a fantastic feature that can often make or break a theme. Menus aren’t very portable out of the box, however. If you’re looking to make a change to a Menu you’re pretty much working live without a quick way to revert back to an old version. That’s where Duplicate Menu comes in.

Duplicate Menu will allow you to create a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) copy of an existing Menu to do with what you will. It generates the clone on a programmatic level and recreates all necessary relationships to ensure the structure is retained as well.

This plugin is a huge timesaver if you have big menus and want to recreate them with some changes, but you want to keep the original. This should be included as default in WordPress!

This is one of the simplest plugins I've used (on its front - it might be complicated in its code, I don't know) - it does only a very simple action - but it does it well, and it's a great help for anyone needing to duplicate a menu. Thank you creator!
