    Love this plugin but it doesn’t seem to work with my themes that use MegaMenu. It works wth WordPress default standard themes but not with any of the premium themes that I have purchased. I think it is because they all seem to use MegaMenu. The option to add category posts doesn’t show up in those themes for this plugin like it does for the default wordpress themes that I’ve tried. I was going to buy a new Theme that didn’t use MegaMenu so I could use this plugin which is perfect for my needs but they just added MegaMenu to that theme, too. Do you plan to update this plugin to work with themes that use MegaMenu? I want to make a donation but haven’t been able to use the plugin yet.

  • Hi trekken,

    I’m sorry but I cannot, for technical reasons and because I have limited time to work on the plugin.

    The MegaMenu probably uses the same hooks and filters that my plugin uses, or a related set. My plugin sets a low priority so any other plugin or theme choosing to set a higher priority takes precedence over mine.

    Furthermore, WordPress has some hooks and filters my plug-in uses, but some parts, like the PHP code to generate the Appearance > Menus interface, are hardcoded into WordPress. There is no elegant way to add elements to this interface without overriding it completely or creating something entirely new, something which the MegaMenu creators have probably done.

    Basically, my plugin indeed only works with themes that use the current WordPress Appearance > Menus interface, and it is intended to be that way.

    If you are willing to pay for themes, I recommend that you contact the developers of MegaMenu and request the functionality that my plugin offers to be integrated in theirs.

    I hope that within standard WordPress Themes, you still find my plugin useful. Thank you kindly for posting a message.

    Kind regards,
    Diana
