== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Which WordPress versions are supported? =

WordPress 5.0 or higher. Tested up to the latest version (6.8).

= Can deleted items be restored? =

When you click the delete button, a confirmation dialog appears. Once deleted, items cannot be restored. However, if you don't click "Save Menu" in WordPress, you can reload the page to revert changes.

= Can I paste copied items to different menus? =

Yes. After copying a menu item, you can switch to a different menu and paste it there.

= What are the default values for items created with the New button? =

Title: "New Custom Link", URL: "/". You can edit these after creation by opening the accordion.

= Can I copy child menu items? =

The current version copies individual menu items only. The Clone button duplicates only the selected item, excluding child hierarchies.

= What if the buttons don't appear? =

Clear your browser cache. If they still don't appear, there may be a conflict with other plugins. Try temporarily disabling other plugins to identify the issue.
