Given that you want to include a picture in the wp_nav_menu output, your best bet is to use the wp_nav_menu_items filter, as suggested in the comments. This will allow you to do a search and replace on the html. add_filter (‘wp_nav_menu_items’,’wpse229358_filter_menu’); function wpse229358_filter_menu ($items,$args) { $search=””; // html string of button $replace=””; // html string … Read more
I was able to solve my own problem by using get_the_title with the post ID rather than using the_title. Then I decided to try using $subpost->post_title and that worked too. I figure this is better than get_the_title since it doesn’t have to “get” the data again, it just uses the data we’ve already gotten. I … Read more
The walker code is okay, but in order to have this markup: <ul class=”nav navbar-nav” data-in=”fadeInDown” data-out=”fadeOutUp”> … </ul> ..in the array passed to the wp_nav_menu() function, set items_wrap to: <ul id=”%1$s” class=”%2$s” data-in=”fadeInDown” data-out=”fadeOutUp”>%3$s</ul> So the full markup would be: <div class=”collapse navbar-collapse” id=”navbar-menu”> <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘menu_class’ => ‘nav navbar-nav’, ‘container’ => ”, … Read more
Yes, if you want to keep using a WP nav menu, a walker is the right way to go. To only affect a certain level (i.e. children, grandchildren, parent, etc.) you can use $depth. class wpseWalker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { public function start_el(&$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0) { // Check … Read more
the Walker_Category class you are using requires 3 params in walk() method, the third param will be use_desc_for_title value (this is due to how Walker_Category::start_el() method is written). In other words, to use the walk() method without generating a notice you should change your last line to print_r( $walk->walk( $menu_items, -1, -1 ) ); The … Read more
You may want to look into the walker class. I’ve used it to add down arrows to WordPress created menus and added my own css div’s and sections. Perhaps you could add a box using the Walker Menu, then set its background to a certain image on :hover etc… class My_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { function … Read more
Looks like you missed the { for foreach Change this line: foreach ( $top_level_elements as $e ) to foreach ( $top_level_elements as $e ) { And don’t forget to complete the curly bracket after the end of loop.
We can use depth parameter of wp_nav_menu to set how many levels menu walker traverses. wp_nav_menu( array( ‘menu_id’=>’nav’, ‘theme_location’=>’header-menu’ , ‘depth’ => 1) ); You can create a child theme so that updates won’t override during updates. Create child theme and copy code from header.php of parent theme then replace the code wp_nav_menu( array( ‘menu_id’=>’nav’, … Read more
You use the walker in your theme, wherever you call your nav menu. So for example, if you currently have a “topnav” menu in your theme, like this: wp_nav_menu(array(‘menu’ => ‘topnav’); and your custom walker is called “myCustomWalker”, you would update the wp_nav_menu call like this: wp_nav_menu( array( ‘menu’ => ‘topnav’, ‘walker’ => new myCustomWalker() … Read more
If you want WordPress to add these items dynamically you would need to add a custom walker class to your menu declaration.
