One-click copies
Duplicate a whole menu, with all its sub-items and settings, right from the menu editor, without leaving the page.
Utilities
Swift Menu Duplicator
Copy, back up and move your menus
Duplicate any navigation menu in one click, keep snapshots you can restore, and move menus between sites.
What is Swift Menu Duplicator?
Building a navigation menu takes time, and copying one by hand takes almost as long. Swift Menu Duplicator adds a Duplicate button to the menu screen, so a full copy, with every sub-item in place, is one click away.
It also keeps snapshots of your menus, so a mistake can be undone, and lets you export a menu from one site and import it on another.
Who it is for
- Site owners who keep several similar menus
- Agencies moving sites from staging to live
- Anyone who has ever lost a menu by accident
What you get
The main things Swift Menu Duplicator does for you.
Snapshots you can restore
A snapshot is saved before every change. Save named ones yourself, browse them and restore one in a click.
A page for all your menus
See every menu in one list, then duplicate, export or delete several at once.
Undo a deletion
A deleted menu can be brought back for a while afterwards, in the same places it was used.
Move menus between sites
Export a menu to a file and import it elsewhere, swapping the web address on the way for staging to live moves.
Works with block themes
Copy and move the Navigation menus that block themes use, as well as classic menus.

Common questions
Quick answers before you install.
Does the copy replace my live menu?
No. Theme locations are not copied, so a duplicate never takes over an active menu.
Are sub-menus kept?
Yes. All parent and child items stay in the right places.
Does it work with translation plugins?
Yes. Language settings are cleared from the copy so it starts as a clean menu.
Does it work with block themes?
Yes. There is a separate tab for Navigation menus.
