@simco,
This plugin overrides the nav menu edit walker. Is it possible that override is causing the issue? When I first built this plugin, I was doing more custom theme development, but many purchased themes have their over nav menu edit walker built-in. Are you using a purchased theme for the site in question?
Because of compatibility issues with purchased themes and some plugins, I created a plugin for just the collapse/expand functionality which uses JavaScript instead of a custom nav menu edit walker: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/nav-menu-collapse/.
Thank you,
Robert
That being said, the Nav Menu Manager is still fully maintained. I did some testing on sites that I use the plugin on and don’t see any infinite spinning occurring when trying to add new menu items.

Robert –
I’m using the Divi theme by Elegant Themes. The theme doesn’t have any specific menus associated with it and it relies on the standard WP menu creator and manager as far as I know.
Oddly enough, I just did a Divi implementation a couple weeks ago. I used the Nav Menu Collapse plugin instead of the Nav Menu Manager as I do with all purchased themes. If all you are looking for is collapse/expand functionality, the Nav Menu Collapse plugin is the way to go.
I tried activating Nav Menu Manager on the Divi site I built and adding new menu items still works fine. Which other plugins are you running on the site?

Here’s a list of active plugins:
Advanced Woo Search
All In One Security
Child Theme Configurator
WooCommerce
WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing
Wordpress Importer
And, I added the Nav Menu Collapse and that appears to work fine. The Nav Menu Manager does collapse the menus as well but won’t let me add anything to the menus. If you’d like I can do a screen capture video so you can see what’s happening.
Disregard, I activated a custom field and do indeed see the infinite spin. Luckily that site is on WPEngine, so I checked the error log and found the issue… I recently added a help class to the plugin to keep help tab functionality more centralized, but that class has an issue during the AJAX call. I will post a fix later today.

Awesome! I feel like I helped accomplish something today.
Hehe, I do appreciate you pointing this one out 🙂

No problem, I appreciate the efforts that go into developing these things.
1.7.2 released which fixes this issue. It even works well with the Divi theme since that one doesn’t add a custom nav menu edit walker.
Thank you again for submitting the issue! Don’t hesitate to let me know if anything else comes up with this or Nav Menu Collapse.
