Or maybe after looking for them, you found out that the new plugin didn’t even add any menu items at all. Show Plugin Menu Items on Activation solves that problem by pointing out exactly which new menu items have been added to the admin sidebar every time a plugin is activated. * If 1, 2 or 3 menu items were added, admin pointers will be displayed to point out the newly added menu items. * If 4 or more menu items were added a “Many new plugin menu items were added.” notice will be displayed at the top of the screen. * If no new menu items were added, a “No new plugin menu items were added.” notice will be displayed at the top of the screen. ## Screenshots * [[ * Admin pointer showing a newly added menu item * [[ * Admin pointer showing a newly added submenu item * [[ * Notice stating that many new menu items were added * [[ * Notice stating that no new menu items were added ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/76af1955fae0eaefa40e1a037d5f13082213a26d1c4bf6b10ab6bfd331edff3d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-1065/)󠁿 [Kellen Mace](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kellenmace/) 2017-07-19 Works like a charm!
