 * When moving WordPress website from development server to live server, the menu
   settings for “Admin Menu Editor” reset, and I have to set the menu up again.

 * This is a known issue – if the stored menu configuration contains any URLs that
   include the development server hostname, and you search & replace the old domain
   name with the new one in the DB, the configuration can get corrupted.
 * Try manually copying over the settings from the development DB. The menu editor
   configuration is stored in the “ws_menu_editor” option in the wp_options table.

 * Hmm, interesting. I looked at “ws_menu_editor” and each occurrence of the domain
   has a s: variable with the count of the string/url length. So if I don’t search/
   replace these domain matches in “ws_menu_editor”, and I just copy/paste it in
   the new database, and then I open “Admin Menu Editor” – will that update all 
   the links with new domain automatically?
 * I’m not changing any links myself, all I ever use is the hide and order feature.

 * It may or may not update the links automatically – that depends on what menu 
   fields (e.g. icon, page URL, etc) contain the URLs. But it should at least let
   you load the menu configuration successfully.
