ok, I figured it out myself. instead of using the CSS class (as I cannot figure out how to filter it), I decided to use the description instead. under the lines with $attributes I have added this line: $description = ! empty( $item->description ) ? esc_attr( $item->description ) : ”; And then I added that … Read more
Test for … $item->object=”custom” This is used for custom links only. $item->object is always the post type or the item type (category for example). Not sure what happens when someone registers a custom post type named custom 🙂
I have found a working solution. It’s a plugin called Advanced Menu Widget. I had to add a widget area into my theme but I can live with that, for now. It works!
My solution uses the Walker_Nav_Menu and a custom class and is mostly hacked together from this post: How do I dynamically populate wp_nav_menu from a custom taxonomy? Solution: //define the custom post type //could use “page” or “post” as well. define(“MENU_CPT”, “action”); //custom function for selecting posts based on a page parent (ne’ term_id) function … Read more
All of the methods are being overridden when you load your own walker, but typically you would extend another Walker which works a bit like “filtering” or “pluggable functions”. Take a look at this very simple walker from another question: class my_extended_walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu { function start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = array()) { $output … Read more
You can filter wp_nav_menu_objects and add the classes in one rush. You don’t even need a custom walker for that. add_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_objects’, ‘add_has_children_to_nav_items’ ); function add_has_children_to_nav_items( $items ) { $parents = wp_list_pluck( $items, ‘menu_item_parent’); foreach ( $items as $item ) in_array( $item->ID, $parents ) && $item->classes[] = ‘has-children’; return $items; } The class has-children will … Read more
How can I modify wp_nav_menu with walker?
Additional class for.sub-menu UL?
The third parameter passed into nav_menu_css_classes should give you the information you need to sort out the different menus. Try: function onpage_nav_menu_css_class($classes, $item, $args) { var_dump($args); return $classes; } add_filter(‘nav_menu_css_class’, ‘onpage_nav_menu_css_class’, 1, 3); Note: That will make a mess of your page. It is debugging/development only code. I think that the theme_location should be sufficient … Read more
If you’re using the WordPress menu system in the admin interface, then you could simply add the Parent Menu Item 2 to the menu again and place it as a child element under the parent version of it. I don’t see any need to even extend the WordPress Walker_Nav_Menu.
