WPS Menu Exporter

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

18/30

With around 10,000 active installs, it sits well below the top menu-related plugins but has enough adoption to indicate a real niche audience.

Update Freshness

25/25

It was updated in June 2025 and is tested against WordPress 6.8.5, though the lack of a stated PHP requirement is a minor transparency gap.

User Rating

11/15

A 74 out of 100 rating from 44 reviewers is solid for a single-purpose utility, but the small sample size means the score could shift quickly.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened or resolved is a red flag: either the plugin works flawlessly on first try, or users have nowhere to turn when it does not.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requiring WordPress 4.2 or higher and being recently tested on 6.8.5 shows broad backward and forward compatibility, though the absence of a PHP version requirement leaves some uncertainty.

What It Does

WPS Menu Exporter adds an export option to the standard WordPress Export screen that lets you download just your navigation menus as a separate XML file. It works alongside the core WordPress export tool rather than replacing it, so you can grab menus without exporting posts, pages, comments, and everything else at the same time.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for developers, agencies, and site managers who handle frequent WordPress migrations or site rebuilds and need a quick way to move or back up navigation structures in isolation. It is particularly useful for menu-heavy sites like restaurants, franchises, and multi-location businesses where menus change often but other content stays put.

Who Should Skip It

If you only migrate sites once in a blue moon, the built-in WordPress Export tool already includes menus in its full-site package, so this plugin adds little value. Users running very small sites with a single static menu will not save enough time to justify installing another plugin.

The Bottom Line

WPS Menu Exporter does one narrow job competently and scores a modest 63.41 out of 100, reflecting decent ratings but limited adoption and zero public support activity. It is a useful utility for agencies running repeated migrations or menu updates, but most casual users can rely on the core WordPress export tool and skip the extra install.
