Usage

1. After installing and activating this plugin, goto Appearance -> Menus of your WordPress admin. Create a menu if you haven’t already and add menu items according to your need.
2. When you expand any menu item, you’ll see the custom fields added here (see screenshots below). You can see Custom Field and Select Feature options.
3. Along with Custom Text field, you can choose to use either Image, Shortcode or Custom HTML feature for a particular menu item.
