The only way to handle lots of pages. An absolute must-have.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You really made my day!

And I agree with many others - this should be in wordpress core. Together with Nested Pages. Would be awesome ...

Thank You

I don't know why this isn't part of WordPress by default! Thanks for making the menu easier to manage and making it free!!

I have received notice from my server of malicious files specifically in this plugin. I have reinstalled the completely clean web and again I suffer attack through this plugin.
