Overview

Duplicate Menu (CC) Pro extends the free plugin with advanced tools for duplicating, transforming and managing WordPress navigation menus.

It is designed for users who need more control, automation and scalability when working with menus.

How Pro Changes the Interface

When the Pro plugin is activated:

  • The “Duplicate with options” button is removed
  • The standard “Duplicate Menu” button is enhanced
  • Clicking Duplicate Menu now opens a full-featured modal

This keeps the interface clean while providing access to all advanced options in one place.

Duplicate Menu Modal (Enhanced)

Click Duplicate Menu to open the Pro modal.

This replaces both:

  • Quick duplication (free version)
  • Duplicate with options (free version)

Available options include:

  • Custom menu name
  • Selective duplication (choose items)
  • Include/exclude child items
  • URL replacement rules
  • Theme location assignment

All duplication actions are now handled through this single interface.

Selective Menu Duplication

You can choose exactly what to duplicate:

  • Individual menu items
  • Entire branches (with children)
  • Partial menu structures

Use cases

  • Creating simplified menus
  • Extracting sections of large menus
  • Building targeted navigation

URL Replacement Rules

Automatically modify URLs during duplication.

Example

Replace:

https://example.com

With:

https://staging.example.com

Ideal for

  • Staging environments
  • Domain migrations
  • Bulk link updates

Assigning Theme Locations

During duplication, you can:

  • Assign the new menu to one or more theme locations
  • Replace existing assignments (with confirmation)

Duplicate Menu Pro Admin Menu

Duplicate Menu (CC) Pro adds a dedicated admin menu:
