Can't get this menu to work correctly on WordPress

Hello,

The site I'm working on is:

http://walkerweir.co.nz

For some reason the previous developer of this custom theme had a plugin installed that controls the menu for this site. When deactivating this plugin all the website content EXCEPT the header disappears and the links on the header no longer work.

Recently we've noticed for no apparent reason I can find, that the "What We Do" dropdown menu item "Property Management Services" disappeared and the 3 dropdown menu items under "Why Choose Us" disappeared.

I cannot change this menu by the normal means in the WordPress dashboard.

I've tried to mess with this stupid plugin however whatever I've tried still does not bring back any sort of dropdown capability whatsoever.

I have a hunch that the original designer (who still has access to hosting and the site) has possibly compromised the site to spite us for taking their business. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why would the original designer still have access to the hosting and the site?

@Luke - Because they are still hosting it

Brandon Brigham, I'd recommend that you get a copy of the site files and database and do any further development required on a development server that you control and then you can deploy the finished project wherever your client needs it to go.
