    Can this plug-in be used for the following issues? I have a gardening website and would like a ‘Tasks for November’ button to appear in the menu during November then in December for it to automatically change to ‘Tasks for December’ etc etc.

    Sure, you can use the date function in PHP (docs: https://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php), eg:

    
date( 'm' ) == 01

    That will show the menu item only during January. You can have multiple menu items and configure each one to show only for a specific month.

    Works fine adding January to July and November and December but when I tried adding August it makes the entire menu disappear. Is there a limit on the amount you can have?

    I only need to add 3 more months.

    Help!

    No limit is set by the plugin or WordPress, however it might be your server not configured to handle larger requests. See here for details: https://webcusp.com/solved-how-to-increase-wordpress-menu-items-limit/ and you can contact your web hosting provider to fix this.

    If I wanted a menu item to only be visible between 8 PM and 8 AM, how could I do that?

    The date function described above can also be used to get the time, if you use G parameter it can give you the hour in 24-hour format. You can check the PHP documentation page (https://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) and mix and match the condition to limit the display to specific hours/minutes/seconds or even timezones.
