Add Descendants As Submenu Items

This plugin lets you automatically populate navigation menus with child pages, categories, or any hierarchical content. It's ideal for site owners who frequently add new content and want their menus to stay up-to-date without manual intervention.

• Checkbox per menu item: Each parent menu item gets a checkbox labeled "Automatically add all descendants as submenu items." Enable it per item for selective automation.
• Works with pages and taxonomies: Supports hierarchical post types (like pages) and hierarchical taxonomies (like categories). Any content type with a parent-child structure can be included.
• Dynamic submenu generation: When a visitor hovers a parent item, the plugin fetches and displays all descendants live, so new content appears instantly without rebuilding the menu.
• Customizable depth: By default, all levels of descendants are included. Advanced users can modify a code snippet (provided in the plugin's support thread) to limit submenus to direct children only.
• No manual maintenance: Once set up, you only maintain top-level menu items. Add a new page under a parent, and it automatically appears in the menu.
