<div>I would definitely like to see a better way of handling menus. Right now I am using metadata key/value pairs to let the user determine which menu a page should be included in. (for example the main menu or a footer menu). The nice thing about this is that it lets them add a page to a menu by ticking a checkbox, and its available from the page editor screen.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>This is in my opinion one of the faults of the other menu management options. You have to go to a separate screen to add the page into your menu. What would be nice is a menu management tool like the screenshots you show with a management screen of its own, but also with the ability to have a popup (like the media library) on the page editor screen that will let you add the page to the menu without leaving the page editor window.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another area that needs some work: the new page/post thumbnail option. Its just not intuitive at all. I know its early days yet for this feature and I'm sure its being worked on. But there should be a way to add multiple page/post thumbnail boxes to the page/post editor screen. There should be a way to add descriptive labels these boxes (for example box 1 is for featured post thumbnails, box 2 is for xyz, box 3 is ...). If there is and I've missed it, please share!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another area that needs some work, the custom taxonomies. If you add them for posts you get a new entry under posts that gives you a screen to manage them, if you add them for pages you get nothing. Again maybe there is a way to do this already? But in posts its automatic, in pages not so.</div>

Good morning, everyone! This introduction is perhaps a little late, but<br>
better that than never.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, my name is John and I am the owner of designsinflux here in Tucson,<br>
AZ. I have been designing websites since the mid- to late-90s; however, I<br>
have never attempted to jump into the professional ring until recently -so<br>
recently in fact, that my company's website is still currently under<br>
development. I have been playing around with WordPress off and on now for 1<br>
year. The website that I'm working on for my company is WP-based and I fully<br>
intend on "pushing" WP to my future customers as the primary foundation for<br>
their websites. My focus is primarily on UI / UX, but I've been known to<br>
sink my teeth into the back-end aspect of things as well (e.g., PHP,<br>
jQuery).<br>
<br>
So, yeah ... that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you want to get in<br>
touch, please do.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
John W. Vermaes<br>

I'd like to offer a direction to explore for the Menu Management<br>
