## Description
Starting in WordPress 2.7, a menu is included in the upper-right corner of the Admin.
The menu, by default, includes links allowing easy access to frequently used pages
in the Admin. But there isn’t an option to add your own links!
Favorites Menu Manager allows you unfettered customization of that dropdown menu.
You can easily add your own links, remove existing ones, and put them in the order
you desire. Customizations are stored on a per-user basis, so each user can have
their own collection of frequently used links.
### Usage
Visit the `Users -> Edit Favorites Menu` page of the Admin to add, remove, and reorder
items in the Favorite Actions menu.
The easiest way to add a new item is to visit the page you wish to add, then choose
the „Bookmark This“ option from the menu. You will be taken to a Manage Favorites
Menu screen, where you can adjust the name of the menu item before pressing the
button to accept.
Be careful of the Remove links when managing the menu. The item will be removed
immediately. You will NOT be prompted.
### Upgrading
The easiest way to update the plugin is to use the automatic plugin upgrader found
in all versions of WordPress since 2.5.x. Just visit the Plugins page and if a new
version is available, click the link to update the plugin. WordPress will take care
of the rest.

## FAQ
Can I link to external pages?
No, you can only add menu links to pages in the WordPress Administration, not pages
outside of it. This is a limitation of the WordPress core.
Can I put HTML in the Favorite Name field?
Yes. You can use HTML tags in the Favorite Name field (e.g. ``). They will be
added inside the `...` element for the menu item. Note that you should only
use tags valid under the XHTML 1.0 Transitional DOCTYPE.
