## Instalación

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/menuitem-copy-paste` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to Appearance  Menus and start using the new buttons

## FAQ

### Which WordPress versions are supported?

WordPress 5.0 or higher. Tested up to the latest version (7.0).

### Can deleted items be restored?

When you click the delete button, a confirmation dialog appears. Once deleted, items
cannot be restored. However, if you don’t click «Save Menu» in WordPress, you can
reload the page to revert changes.

### Can I paste copied items to different menus?

Yes. After copying a menu item, you can switch to a different menu and paste it 
there.

### What are the default values for items created with the New button?

Title: «New Custom Link», URL: «/». You can edit these after creation by opening
the accordion.

### Can I copy child menu items?

The current version copies individual menu items only. The Clone button duplicates
only the selected item, excluding child hierarchies.

### What if the buttons don’t appear?

Clear your browser cache. If they still don’t appear, there may be a conflict with
other plugins. Try temporarily disabling other plugins to identify the issue.

## Registro de cambios

#### 1.1.3

 * Resilience: the plugin now checks that its required `includes/` files exist before
   loading. If any are missing, it shows an admin notice and stops safely instead
   of triggering a site-wide fatal error.

#### 1.1.2

 * Packaging fix: the `includes/` directory (item-actions, shortcode, tools, builder
   classes) and `js/menuitem-menu-tools.js` were missing from the published package,
   causing a fatal error on activation («require_once … class-menuitem-builder.php:
   No such file»). Re-published with the complete file set. No code changes.

#### 1.1.1

 * Updated «Tested up to» to WordPress 7.0
 * Security/coding-standards: made AJAX nonce verification explicit in each handler(
   menu duplicate/export/import) so it is visible to static analysis
 * Documented JSON request handling for the paste and import endpoints (validated
   via json_decode and sanitized per-field)

#### 1.1.0

 * Added Shortcode support: shortcodes now run in menu item URL, navigation label,
   and description (no extra metabox required; theme-defined shortcodes are executed)
 * Added Duplicate Menu: clone an entire menu (hierarchy preserved) from the editor,
   next to «Save Menu»; auto-named «{name}_copied»
 * Added per-menu JSON Export («Export Menu» button, top-right of the menu editor)
 * Added JSON Import («Import Menu» button): rebuilds a menu as a new menu; page/
   category items are re-resolved by slug on the target site, enabling cross-site
   migration of template menus

#### 1.0.7

 * Added Collapse feature: fold/unfold child menu items under any parent menu item
 * Collapse state is persisted per-menu in localStorage and restored on page reload
 * Auto-expansion before drag to safely move parents with their descendants
 * Toggle button auto-shows/hides based on whether the item has children
 * Adjusted button container width to accommodate the 6th button

#### 1.0.6

 * Added New feature: instantly create custom links below items
 * Added Clone feature: duplicate menu items immediately below
 * Added Delete feature: remove items without opening accordions
 * Added visual highlight (blue background) for copied items
 * Improved button tooltips with detailed descriptions
 * Enhanced security: strengthened $_POST variable validation
 * Improved code quality: compliance with WordPress Coding Standards

#### 1.0.4

 * Added accurate position calculation considering hierarchical structure
 * Implemented recursive descendant retrieval

#### 1.0.3

 * Initial release
 * Menu item copy & paste functionality
