Creating menu always gives error A name is required for this term

I got the same issue and found that the plugin user-activity-log was at the origin of the problem.

As I reported here,the problem is related to the hooks:

  • ual_shook_created_term
  • ual_shook_edited_term
  • ual_shook_delete_term

They return nothing instead of the given term when the taxonomy is ‘nav_menu’.

If you don’t use this plugin, check the others plugins that call for example the pre_insert_term filter. They should return something.
