## ವಿವರಣೆ

Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder is a simple and lightweight plugin that aggregates
multiple WordPress admin sidebar menu items into a clean, dedicated submenu folder.

As you install more plugins, your admin sidebar easily becomes cluttered with items
you rarely touch. Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder lets you tuck away infrequently 
used menus into a single organized folder. This allows you to build a streamlined
sidebar focused exclusively on your daily essential menus, while maintaining immediate
access to all other tools whenever you need them.

#### Key Features

 * **Streamlined Sidebar**: Keep your sidebar focused on daily high-frequency menus
   while preserving immediate access to secondary items inside the folder.
 * **Easy Toggle Interface**: Drag-free intuitive checkbox interface for managing
   menu items in the settings page.
 * **Admin Bar Shortcut**: Option to display a direct link to the settings page 
   in the top admin bar.
 * **Submenu Settings Link**: Option to place a settings link at the top or bottom
   of the submenu folder.
 * **Clean & Lightweight**: Uses standard WordPress core hooks with no external 
   bloat or performance impact.

### Optional Pro Version

The free version of Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder is a complete, fully functional
plugin designed to keep your WordPress admin sidebar clean and focused using a single
organized folder.

For agency client work, larger websites, or advanced administration workflows, **
Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder Pro** offers extended capabilities to give you total
control over the admin navigation.

### Perfect for Client Work & Handoffs

When delivering WordPress sites to clients, third-party plugin menus can easily 
clutter the dashboard. This overwhelming clutter often confuses clients and increases
support inquiries. With the Pro version, you can organize menus into dedicated, 
purpose-specific folders (e.g., “Maintenance”, “Security”, “Analytics & SEO”) with
custom folder names and Dashicons. Deliver a clean, professional, and clutter-free
admin dashboard that inspires confidence.

## ಸ್ಥಾಪನೆ

 1. Upload the `karasunouta-admin-menu-folder` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Admin Menu Folder’ to manage and organize your sidebar menu
    items.

## FAQ

### How many menu items can I put in the folder?

Up to 99 items. Items are listed inside the folder in the same order as they appear
in the original admin sidebar, so the folder stays predictable no matter how many
plugins you add.

### What happens if I remove every item from the folder?

The folder disappears from the admin sidebar entirely. Nothing is left behind, and
every menu item returns to its original position. Add an item again and the folder
comes back.

### Will moving menu items change their functionality or permissions?

No. Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder only changes the location where menu links are
rendered in the admin sidebar. User capabilities and plugin page URLs remain unchanged.

### Why can’t I move the ‘Settings’ menu into the folder?

The ‘Settings’ (options-general.php) root menu is intentionally protected as a core
system menu and cannot be moved into a folder. Because ‘Settings’ serves as the 
primary hub for essential WordPress configuration screens (General, Reading, Permalinks,
etc.) as well as this plugin’s own settings page, keeping it always directly accessible
in the main sidebar ensures seamless administration and prevents navigation conflicts.

### How do I access child menu items of a menu item placed inside a folder?

Click on the menu item inside the folder (e.g., Submenu Folder > Target Menu). This
opens the parent page and expands its submenu structure in the sidebar, allowing
you to access all of its child items.

Why this design? WordPress admin menus natively support only up to 2 levels of hierarchy.
Forcibly hacking or overriding core menu scripts to create deep nested dropdowns
risks breaking layout compatibility and causing conflicts with other plugins or 
future WordPress updates. Our clean, core-compliant approach provides a safe, reliable,
and practical 3-tier menu experience without stability risks.

### Is there a Pro version available?

Yes! While the free version gives you a complete, standalone solution for cleaning
up your sidebar into a single folder, **Karasunouta Admin Menu Folder Pro** adds
multi-folder support, custom icons and titles, and drag-and-drop reordering.
