About 53mp – Add Menu Items Easier
From the official readme · v1.2.1Description
On Appearance → Menus, WordPress adds every checked page or category as a top-level menu item. This plugin keeps the original hierarchy.
Example: if you select About, Our Team, Leadership, and History and click Add to Menu, the menu receives the same tree:
- About
- Our Team
- Leadership
- History
- Our Team
Works with:
- Pages
- Hierarchical custom post types
- Categories
- Hierarchical custom taxonomies
If you skip an intermediate parent (for example you select About and Leadership but not Our Team), the item is nested under the nearest selected ancestor.

Frequently asked questions
Does this change menus I already saved?
No. It only runs when you click Add to Menu. Existing items and drag-and-drop edits are unchanged.
What if I only select child pages?
Those items are added as top-level entries, the same as WordPress core. Hierarchy is preserved only among the items in that one add action.
Does this affect the Site Editor / Navigation block?
No. It only hooks the classic Appearance → Menus “Add to Menu” AJAX request.
Does this plugin collect any data?
No. It does not send data to remote servers, store settings, or track usage.
