## Description

**[This plugin has been replaced by Context Manager](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/context-manager/)**

Context Manager does the same job as Menu Rules, but comes with many more features
to save you time and unnecessary coding.

Menu Rules can run alongside Context Manager while you migrate your rules across.
[Speak to me on Twitter](http://twitter.com/phill_brown) if you need any help with
the transfer.

#### About Menu Rules

In WordPress there’s no way to apply context to the menu system. Menu Rules solves
this problem and gives you a framework to write your own menu extensions.

#### Example usage

You have an e-commerce website that has a custom post type called ‘products’. You
have a page that lists products which is listed in your main menu. A user visits
the page and the menu item becomes ‘active’. You click through to a product and 
the menu item loses its active state. This is how to fix it with menu rules:

 1. [Install](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/menu-rules/installation/) the Menu
    Rules plugin
 2. Add a menu rule
 3. Give it a meaningful name in the title field. This is just for administration purposes
 4. In the conditions field enter `is_singular( 'product' )`
 5. Choose _Emulate current page as a child but do not create a menu item._ as the 
    menu rule
 6. Find your products page in the menu dropdown
 7. Hit publish

#### Extending Menu Rules

 1. Create a class that extends `Menu_Rules_Handler` and includes a `handler` method.
 2. Write your custom functionality
 3. Register your class using `add_action( 'plugins_loaded', create_function( '', '
    Menu_Rules::register( "Your_Menu_Rule_Class" );' ) );`

Built-in rules are found in `menu-rules/rules/`
