Do you make regular changes to your menu or when developing it is often you make many changes before settling on the final one. This plugin allows you to track all the changes you make to a menu so when you have done so many you forget what you did you can look back to what you thought was better.

WordPress, by default, allows you the ability edit theme and plugin files directly from within the WordPress control panel. If you never change files directly on your WordPress site, there’s absolutely no need to have this feature available to you or your administrators.

Visual Table Formatting Lite

Creating and managing colorful tables has never been more intuitive and straightforward with this plugin.
The visual editor will keep you away from coding and shortcode complexity.
Apply cell color, font color, font styles, table border style and color.
The plugin has two handy import functions – used shortcodes and delimiter-separated text, which will create the table automatically for you. It also completely avoids the site database, thus making it lightweight and easily transferable between different posts or wordpress installations.
