## Description

This plugin makes long and complex navigation menus better manageable by creating
groups that can be expanded and collapsed.

By default, all navigation menus in wp-admin will be collapsed. When holding the
Option/Alt-key while clicking, all sublevels will be expanded with one click.

For general support, please use the support forums on [wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wield-menu)

I’ve been using this plugin for a little while and just thought I would leave a 
review. Still works well with the latest Wordpress version. Thanks!

This plugin does exactly what it claims. I use this in conjunction with Ubermenu..
Ubermenu actually sells a $10 extension that does this same exact thing.. but this
plugin does it for free! Thank you mr dev, sir.

Was about to give up hope but tried one more search and luckily found your plugin
to manage a rather long and complex menu… THANK YOU!
