Hide Drafts in Menus

By Room 34 Creative Services, LLC

Description

If you unpublish a page or post, it still appears in your custom menus. This plugin automatically prevents pages/posts set to “draft” or “pending review” from appearing in custom menus on the site, while keeping their place in the menu structure. When they’re published, they’ll appear in the menu automatically.

This plugin also modifies the custom menu editing screen to clearly indicate the unpublished status of items in the menu.

NOTE: We are aware of a limitation in the plugin, that a page/post must be published to appear in the list of items you can select to add to the menu. We are working on a solution. In the meantime, the workaround is to temporarily publish the page/post, add it to the menu, and then set it back to “draft”.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. There’s no step 3!

Perfect Plugin

This Plugin makes exactly what i'm looking for. But it's special, that this plugin is necessary, because that should be a part of the stock WP. and it's very easy, install, run, done!

BRILLIANT

It works prefectly without any configuration. Install it, activate it, done. Thanks to the developer. 🙂

Very simple but works perfectly

Had a project where the client wanted to be able to add and hide menu items and pages and this allowed them to do that easily by changing the pages to draft status. Far easier than allowing access to WP Nav Menus which most clients mess up!

Thank you!
