No behavior change. * Fixed the admin page slug (`bnbt-nav-export-import` instead of the leftover ` nbt-nav-export-import` from an earlier rename) — the Tools submenu URL changes; update any bookmarks. * Fixed: a menu item explicitly marked as a submenu but with no direct is_submenu flag no longer loses its children when it does have them (a CSV item with `is_submenu =false` and actual children is now correctly promoted to a submenu instead of dropping them). * Added a `.pot` translation template and a PHPUnit test suite covering the parser, the CSV importer’s tree-building, cycle detection and opaque-block preservation. #### 1.1.0 * Parsing now uses WordPress’ own parse_blocks()/serialize_blocks() instead of regex, supporting unlimited nesting and nested JSON attributes * Round-trip fidelity: links to pages/posts/categories/tags keep their kind/id instead of degrading to custom links * Menu items other than links/submenus (Page List, Site Logo, Search, custom groups, etc.) are preserved intact when overwriting a menu instead of being silently deleted * Item hierarchy is now tracked with item_id/parent_id columns, avoiding collisions between items that share a label; legacy label-based parent column still supported for older CSV files * CSV values are escaped against spreadsheet formula injection * Import now reports rows it could not apply (missing columns, empty fields, invalid parent references, cycles) instead of discarding them silently * Import validates wp_insert_post/wp_update_post results and reports failures instead of assuming success * Overwriting a menu with an ambiguous (duplicate) name is now blocked and reported instead of overwriting an arbitrary match; an optional nav_id column can disambiguate * type is validated against an allow-list, css_classes and rel are sanitized per token * Added file size (2 MB) and row count (5000) limits, plus server-side MIME validation, for CSV uploads #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Export menus to CSV * Import menus from CSV * Admin interface for managing exports and imports ## Meta * Version **1.1.1** * Last updated **2 months ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.4 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.6** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bubuku-navigation-block-toolkit/) * Tags * [export-import](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/export-import/)[gutenberg](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gutenberg/) [menu](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/menu/)[Navigation Menu](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/navigation-menu/) * [Advanced View](https://test.wordpress.org/plugins/bubuku-navigation-block-toolkit/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
