The parameter ‘items_wrap’ for wp_nav_menu() defaults to: ‘<ul id=”%1$s” class=”%2$s”>%3$s</ul>’ This a a template that is parsed with sprintf(): $nav_menu .= sprintf( $args->items_wrap , esc_attr( $wrap_id ) // %1$s , esc_attr( $wrap_class ) // %2$s , $items // %3$s ); The numbered placeholders – %1$s, %2$s, %3$s – refer to the arguments after the first … Read more
I might be misunderstanding you, but why not use wp_create_nav_menu()? E.g., this is what I do to create a custom BuddyPress menu when I detect BP as active: $menuname = $lblg_themename . ‘ BuddyPress Menu’; $bpmenulocation = ‘lblgbpmenu’; // Does the menu exist already? $menu_exists = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $menuname ); // If it doesn’t exist, let’s … Read more

This was still on my mind so I revisited it and put together this solution, that does not rely on context that much: add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_objects’, ‘submenu_limit’, 10, 2 ); function submenu_limit( $items, $args ) { if ( empty( $args->submenu ) ) { return $items; } $ids = wp_filter_object_list( $items, array( ‘title’ => $args->submenu ), ‘and’, … Read more
You can make the ‘slug’ for the submenu page equal that of the top level page, and they’ll point to the same place: add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘my_menu_pages’); function my_menu_pages(){ add_menu_page(‘My Page Title’, ‘My Menu Title’, ‘manage_options’, ‘my-menu’, ‘my_menu_output’ ); add_submenu_page(‘my-menu’, ‘Submenu Page Title’, ‘Whatever You Want’, ‘manage_options’, ‘my-menu’ ); add_submenu_page(‘my-menu’, ‘Submenu Page Title2’, ‘Whatever You Want2’, ‘manage_options’, … Read more
