At the end of your Navigation Walker you can just append to the $output like so: $output .= apply_filters( ‘walker_nav_menu_start_el’ , $item_output , $item , $depth , $args ); // This is before the ending list item: $output .= ‘<span>Inner Navigational Text</span>’; To get the post meta (I’m not familiar with ACF) you can use … Read more
I’ve got the filter just for you: nav_menu_css_class function wpse_175057_nav_menu_css_class( $classes, $item ) { if ( $item->type === ‘post_type’ && $class = get_post_meta( $item->object_id, ‘_icon’, true ) ) $classes[] = $class; return $classes; } add_filter( ‘nav_menu_css_class’, ‘wpse_175057_nav_menu_css_class’, 10, 2 );

Class .current-menu-item in custom menu Walker

I’m trying to make my logic like this: calling below code inside function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth, $args ) { $this->sub_items = 0; // declared variable as private $sub_items = 0 above inside class if ( ( $locations = get_nav_menu_locations() ) && isset( $locations[ $args->theme_location ] ) ) { $menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $args->theme_location ] … Read more
It seems to me, you are trying to get the ancestors by the actual post, while you most likely should get the ancestors according to the menu item. Why?

You can remove the container and ul tag like this: <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => ”, ‘items_wrap’ => ‘%3$s’ ) ); ?> Now you can see an architecture like this: <li> <a href=”#”>item</a> </li> And i think you could adjust your stylesheet to adapt “li” tag. Hope it helps.
