Menu Item Duplicator

What It Does

Menu Item Duplicator adds a duplicate control to each item in Appearance > Menus, letting you clone a menu entry along with all of its child items in a single click. It works inside the native WordPress menu screen, so there is no new interface to learn and no separate settings page. The duplication preserves item type, label, target, classes, and the parent-child hierarchy.

Who It's For

This plugin is most useful for site builders who manage large menus with repeating structures, such as restaurants running per-location navigation, real estate agencies building property category menus, or event sites with recurring series. It is also a good fit for agencies maintaining multi-language or franchise sites where the same menu tree needs to be re-created many times.

Who Should Skip It

If you only edit a handful of menu items or already use a mega menu plugin that ships with clone functionality, this plugin is unnecessary. Developers comfortable writing a quick custom function or WP-CLI snippet to duplicate menu items will also have little reason to install it.

The Bottom Line

Menu Item Duplicator does one focused job and does it well, with strong maintenance signals and broad WordPress compatibility. The narrow install base and tiny rating pool mean there is limited community proof, so larger or mission-critical sites may want a mega menu plugin with cloning built in. For solo builders and small agencies building repeating menu structures, it is a tidy time saver.
