描述
WP Better Sub Menus improves the Appearance Menus screen when you manage large nested menus.
- Click the colored bar on a parent item to collapse or expand its branch
- Sticky, scrollable left column (Pages, Posts, categories, etc.) while you edit
- Depth colors so nested levels are easier to scan
- Visual changes only — front-end navigation is unchanged
Especially useful when a menu has dozens of items and several levels deep.

安装
- Install from Plugins Add New (search “WP Better Sub Menus”), or upload a zip whose top-level folder is
wp-better-sub-menus. - Activate the plugin.
- Go to Appearance Menus. Parent items with children show a colored expand control on the left.
If your menu has no sub-items, the screen looks the same as before.
常见问题
-
No. It only improves the admin menu editor.
-
Why do I not see any difference?
-
The plugin adds controls when menu items have child items. Flat menus look unchanged.
-
Yes. Collapse/expand supports nested depths beyond ten levels.
