 * When trying to save changes I get taken to this url:
    /wp-admin/options-general.
   php?page=menu_editor&noheader=1
 * and a 404 error shows on the page.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Most likely your server has some kind of security software installed that blocks
   the HTTP request because it detects the menu configuration data as “suspicious”.
   I’ve seen similar problems caused by things like mod_security2 and Bad Behaviour.
 * Try asking your hosting provider about this. Maybe they can add an exception 
   for this plugin.

 * Just to confirm that this problem was indeed an issue with a security rule set
   by my hosting provider.
 * Thanks for your help Janis.

 * Hiya, I’m having this exact same problem (I’m using the Pro version with a Business
   licence) but my hosting provider says they’re unable to do anything unless I 
   can provide much more specific instructions as to how to add a security exception.
   Would you be able to help out at all with these instructions?
 * Many thanks Janis

 * Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t give you specific instructions. These security systems
   are generally something that is set up by your hosting provider and runs on your
   server. They can vary quite a bit from one provider to another. I cannot possibly
   know how your server is configured.
