Dear all,
Version 3.0.0 now provides support for Full Site Editing with the Gutenberg Block Editor via Appearance > Editor.
This is experimental, please report any issues you may encounter.
Kind regards,

Hello,
the plugin was working perfectly when the menus were in the structure:
Main menu item – sub menu – sub menu – category post list
But because I have now so many main menu items, the structure is now:
Main menu item – sub menu – sub menu – sub menu – category post list
And the lists stopped showing up in the menu?
Thank you,
Manu
]]>Hi,
thanks for a great plugin.
However, it stops working (= the menu simply shows nothing) as soon as there’s more than 1 post in the category.
Any advice? THX

Can “Category Posts in Custom Menu” work with the modern Navigation block?
I’m using a twentytwentythree child theme, there is no “Menus” or “Customize” under Appearance.
When I make a menu or submenu with the Navigation block, the plugin does nothing.
Apologies if I missed it, but I found nothing searching.
]]>We just realized that our full dropdown is not showing. I guess the free version only has a max of 10 items. We have a list of 40 music instructors to show and only 10 now are showing. We need to purchase a paid version I guess in order to show all. but I cannot find a way to purchase the premium plugin on your website. Can you help?
]]>Hi! David here. The plugin seems to stop working on some themes. I have only the plugin installed and I’ve tested it with my prefered theme and 3 others, standard WordPress themes, like the twenty twenty. I’ve recorded a video to show the issue here.
]]>Today I’ve released version 2.1.0.
Dear all,
in the coming days a new version of Category Posts in Custom Menu will be released. This will be version 2.0.0. There will be quite a large change: The plugin will be split into a Free and a Premium version.
The Free version will offer basic functionality to replace a category by its posts. Yes, that means that some features will disappear from the Free version.
If you cannot accept these changes, I suggest you keep using 1.3.0. This is, however, an old version and although it has stood the test of time well and is still functional after 2 years (thanks to no major changes to how WordPress manages the menu under Appearance > Menus), it will not be updated, supported or maintained.
Kind regards,
Diana
Works well!
However for some reason the category description is shown under every title. I had to remove the category description to “solve” this.
]]>In addition to the transient example, the used quotes gave me an undefined constant error and an underscore was missing.
$my_cached_menu = get_transient(“name_of_my_cached_menu”);
if( $my_cached_menu === false )
{
$my_cached_menu = … ;
set_transient(“name_of_my_cached_pro_menu”, $my_cached_pro_menu, YEAR_IN_SECONDS );
}
echo $my_cached_pro_menu;`
]]>Hi, I am having the same problem as
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/not-working-on-mobile-devices-16/
with the submenu not working on mobile when using hello theme with elementor.
Kind Regards,

Hello,
thanks for developing this plugin ! It works all well, except that on mobile version the menus containing just post lists (and so, no submenus) are automatically dropping down (as menus with submenus don’t). Any idea how to fix this ?
Unfortunately I can’t add screenshot but you can check the link shared on mobile phone (mode) to see the problem,
Thanks for answers !

]]>I need some help
I want the category submenu to display a custom title, only if custom field is not emthy – else the post-title.
How do I do that?
Hello, the display menu for posts of custom types like “link library”. How to restrict the display in the menu to posts and pages types only ?
Thanks
Hello,
I have a problem with the plugin, in the menu part, the images where are located there (thumbnails), are without attribute “alt”, at the wp-admin in Appareance > Menu on the “Posts” category there is a:
<div class=”img_content”>%post_featured_image_thumb</div>%post_title
where %post_featured_image_thumb bring the image tag thumbnail but not the attribute “alt”,
Someone knows what it can be?
Thank you!
]]>Greetings.
The developer of my theme — Virtue — recommended that I use this plugin because if someone clicks on the menu directly instead of hovering over the menu, an uncategorized post appears, and I certainly don’t want that to happen.
Is there a way to use this plugin on an existing menu by creating a new top menu? If so, please kindly instruct me as to how to perform this task.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Nobuhle
]]>hi,
it works perfect on desktop but not on mobile devices and tablet devices.
When i click/tap to expand the submenu to reveal the auto-generated list of posts, it just closes the menu without loading nothing, i cant also use the submenu itself, when i click it i got the same responce.
I am using elementor
regards
]]>I’ve resumed development on this plugin. Previous feature requests will be taken into consideration again. If you have questions/remarks, please feel free to reach out.
Please note, I am considering moving the plugin to freemium model.
]]>Dear all,
as you can see, I haven’t gotten around to updating the plugin in quite a while. I’ve lovingly maintained it from 2006 to 2017. However, since then, my time has gone to other things. I’m sorry to say I will not be maintaining the plugin any longer.
Kind regards,
Diana
Hi
Can the plugin list taxonomy items and not the posts that contain a specific taxonomy.
eg:
taxonony = Fasteners
taxonomy_item = Nails
taxonomy_item = Galvanised Screws
taxonomy_item = Stainless Steel Screws
Then the menu would show
Fasteners and as sub menu items would be Nails, Galvanised Screws, Stainless Steel Screws
Clicking on each of the sub-menu itesm would display the archive page for the selected taxonomy
Thanks, Dean
]]>Hi, thanks for writing this plug-in! I would like to request a feature to add an indicator the category menu items. In the referenced page, I have two category menus “Category Manual”, and “Category Auto”. “Category Manual” has a post under it that was manually created in the menu editor, while “Category Auto” uses your plugin to automatically show posts. “Category Manual” has an arrow next to it to indicate that it can be expanded. I would like this arrow to appear for “Category Auto” as well.
]]>Hello,
did another pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/DianaKoenraadt/WP-CPCM/pull/2
It was bugging me that when this plugin was enabled the WP menu editor page always asked Do you want to leave this site? - Changes you made may not be saved. even if you didn’t change anything yet. It was my mistake from the previous pull request to not set wpNavMenu.menusChanged to false after triggering changes on checkboxes.
Hi Diana,
Thank you for your great work, I love the plugin.
Now in WP 4.8.2 the options are not showing in a menu item (under Design -> Menus).
Is that releated to the WordPress Version?
If so, is there an update planned?
Thank you
Frank

This menu plugin is great but it doesn’t seem to support hierarchical custom post types.
It works with CPT categories but not the hierarchical items of a post.
For example, I have a “Products” CPT that contains the following hierarchical structure:
Post 1 (Parent)
Post 2 (Child)
Post 3 (Child)
Post 4 (Parent)
Post 5 (Child)
Post 6 (Child)
As you see in this example, post 1 and post 4 are not categories. There should be an option to choose between category structure or post structure. Is there a setting for that?
Please advise
Thanks
A custom post in multiple categories causing issues. It only displays under some categories and not all.
Can you please try to replicate this and let me know if it’s a plugin bug or not?
plugin version 1.2.3
wp 4.7.3
php 5.4
Hi there,
thanks for a great little useful plugin!
Any chance it could be updated to work well with PHP7 too?
I got this error report when running a compability check:

It works fine, except I would like to delete the post date and post comment section, as that info takes up a lot of space in the menu area.
Plus, if possible, I would like to put post headline in bold.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

For example there are categories xli, gli, honda city and so on…. all categories have posts “intro”,”exterior”,”interior”,”engine”. when user selects any car category…. on next page all posts titles from that category lists up in menu
]]>Hey ??
