Hello! I've been using this plugin on one of my website for almost 2 years. Recently I noticed a SyntaxError in my console log. Some <p> tags start appearing within JS code. Please update this plugin and fix compatibility issues. Thank you!

We have been using this plugin for a while and it works great... but there has not been an update in 2 years. It is now throwing errors into the error log. Will most likely be looking for a replacement soon.

This plugin is really great. It is the only plugin I've found that let me design my menu inside my page(not in header or footer). Great work on making it.
