    After creating a custom menu from WordPress I did not like the list appearance. So when I installed this plugin, after a ridiculous and complicated editing session, it came out just like the stupid looking custom menu that wordpress provides. Talk about a complete waste of time. What does this do that is not already done? Nothing is the answer!

    My apologies if any part of the description or documentation lead you to believe that this plugin provides control over a menu’s appearance : it doesn’t. I obviously need a blunt, up-front statement to that effect, and I will sort that out.

    CMW allows you to filter menu content, not change what it looks like.

    …ridiculous and complicated…

    Yes, it’s quite complex. I’ve tried (possibly not very successfully) to make it as friendly as possible, but a lot of people want to be able to do a lot of different things with it, and that leads to a large number of options. And Yes, to one specific user who only needs to set 1 option, then all the other options might be considered “ridiculous” However, if there are 20,000 users, each setting one option – but not necessarily the same one! – then perhaps it’s only the option(s) that nobody ever sets that could be referred to as “ridiculous”?

    …came out just like the … custom menu that WordPress provides.

    Yes, I’m afraid it would, especially if the only option that was set was which menu to use.

    …complete waste of time.

    Sorry about that. I can’t give you your time back, but for future users I’ll try to be clearer about what the plugin won’t do.

    What does this do that is not already done?

    Hmmm… Given that we agree that its quite complicated, I would have hoped for an answer of “quite a lot”. However, I can see that it depends on your point of view : if you need it produce the same output as another plugin but with different styling, then Yes, this plugin will do Nothing for you!

    Thank you for the review. It’s been informative, and I will tweak the plugin’s description as a result. Sorry it didn’t fit your needs.
