## FAQ

### Does this plugin export menu item links as well?

Yes, the plugin exports all URLs associated with menu items. However, if the items
link to specific content (e.g., pages or posts) that does not exist on the new site,
you may need to update the links after import.

### Can I use this plugin to migrate menus across WordPress multisite installations?

has compatible theme locations.

### Will this plugin overwrite existing menus?

The plugin will create a new menu during import. It will not overwrite existing 
menus unless explicitly updated by the user.

Be aware that after import you have to eventually asign it in the WordPress backend
under Design > Menus to your current menu. When exporting on one domain and importing
on another domain you have to search and replace the domains (i use the plugin „
Better Search Replace“ for this).

The exported file is .json, but the content is: „Warning: Attempt to read property„
term_id“ on false in /…“ and „Warning: Attempt to read property „name“ on false 
in /…“
