Works perfectly. Just as described. Saved us a ton of time! Thank you!

Breaks admin bar.

Breaks admin bar on any site this plugin is active on. The admin bar will act like you are on the site that this plugin is getting the shared menus from. I’ll change my rating if this bug is fixed.

this works great

Worked for me

I have a multisite installation with one master site and one child. Needed the child to look and feel exactly like the parent site, and I didn’t want to worry about updating the menu twice. This worked for me. I had to create an empty menu on the child site and assign it to the appropriate location, and then it worked.
