What's going wrong

Site owners using Auto Submenu report that newly created child pages do not show up beneath their parent in the navigation menu, even when the parent is set correctly. Some say the page lands as a top-level item instead, and others see no automatic menu option at all. The reports span several WordPress versions, from older 3.x releases to custom themes. The failure gives no message, so owners end up adding each page by hand. A checker that confirms every child page sits in the right menu position would help anyone running a content-heavy site.
