Admin Menu Editor Pro (Business) 2.24

Added

• Added an [ame-count-bubble] shortcode. When used in a menu title, it takes the number bubble from the default menu title and displays it in the custom title. A "bubble" is the small number in a colored circle that appears on some menu items, like "Dashboard -> Updates (3)", "Comments (12)", or "WooCommerce -> Orders (5)".

Fixed

• Fixed a PHP 7.2 compatibility issue that caused this warning to show up on the menu editor page: "count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in menu-editor-core.php".
• Fixed a JavaScript error "cannot read property 'replace' of null" in the "Meta Boxes" tab that would show up if another plugin added a meta box without a valid title.
• Fixed a JavaScript error "actor is null" when trying to save dashboard widget settings that contain user-specific permissions for nonexistent users. This typically happened when importing settings from another site.
• Fixed a conflict with Ultra WordPress Admin 7.4 that made it impossible to hide plugins.

Changed

• Tested with WP 4.9.4 and 5.0-alpha.

Added

• Added a list of basic tutorials to the menu editor screen.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where menu items that use meta capabilities would have the “hidden from everyone” icon even if there were not actually hidden.
• Fixed incorrect version numbers in the “can’t import settings from a newer version” error message.
• Fixed a bug that could cause some network admin menus to be highlighted as if they were new.
• Fixed a conflict with WP Courseware 4.1.2 where activating AME would cause a lot of extra menu items to show up unexpectedly.

Changed

• The plugin will display a warning if you try to hide the “Slug” metabox. Due to a known bug in WordPress, hiding this box can prevent you from changing the post permalink.
• Replaced the green puzzle-piece icon that was used to mark new items with an icon that just says “new”.
• Tested with 4.9.1.

Fixed

• Added a workaround for a buggy “defer_parsing_of_js” code snippet that some users have added to their functions.php. This snippet produces invalid HTML code, which used to break the menu editor.
• Fixed a bug that caused WP-CLI to behave as if there were no installed plugins and no available updates.
• Fixed the “Tags” menu showing up as inaccessible.
• Fixed missing color labels in WordPress 4.9.
• Fixed a PHP warning that appeared when using this plugin together with WooCommerce or YITH WooCommerce Gift Cards and running PHP 7.1.
• Fixed a bug that prevented some capability changes from being applied.
• Fixed a bug where submenu items would not inherit FontAwesome icons from their parent menu.

Added

• You can now edit the network admin menu. The settings page is in the network admin, under “Settings -> Menu Editor Pro”. Note that you still need to go to a site dashboard to edit the regular admin menu.
• The “Embed WP page” feature now works with private pages and posts, not just public pages.
• Added the ability to hide the special “Welcome” widget.

Changed

• Minor performance improvements.
• Tested with WP 4.8.3 and 4.9.
