Exclude Private, Draft pages from Primary Nav when using custom menu
I had a similar problem and here is the best solution I could come up with. The reason (I think) that private or non-published items show up in menus is that the menu items are themselves posts and have their own post_status. That means that in a situation where a page is marked private, the … Read more
Add custom page link with anchor
I was searching for an answer for this but suddenly I got the idea and it works! In the menu settings just add the anchor link just like an html link code <a href=”#anchor” >titulo </a> So with WP is the same but only adding the anchor in the field link This will create the … Read more
Use navigation path from menu for permalink
Yes, I could set the menu structure, but I don’t know if the user would make this, when he creates a new page. The difference is here because I needed the hierarchy for some special adaptions I made (read the content from certain sub pages and so on …). Normally, the menu should define the … Read more
How do I add nested categories to drop-down menu in twenty-eleven?
As a purely theory example, this is how I would approach the problem: $cats = get_categories(); echo ‘<ul>’; foreach($cats as $cat) { echo'<li>’.$cat->name; if($cat->parent != 0) { $subcats = get_category(‘child_of=”.$cat->cat_ID; echo “<ul>’; foreach($subcats as $subcat){ echo ‘<li>’.$subcat->name.'</li>’; } } echo ‘</li>’; } echo ‘</ul>’; I don’t expect that to work fully as I coded it … Read more

Custom settings disappear during database migration?
Mostly a dupe: Why is my database import losing text widget data? Doing a search and replace on an sql dump breaks URLs in the serialized data of widgets and theme options. See the link above for better ways to change URLs when moving WP sites. Use Database Search and Replace Script in PHP | … Read more
How can I add (custom) modules to Appearance -> Menus?
When you register a custom post type, set the argument show_in_nav_menus to TRUE, and WordPress will create the box for you automatically. This works for custom taxonomies too. Example, requires PHP 5.4 or newer. add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, function() { $post_type=”foo”; add_action( ‘registered_post_type’, function( $registered ) use ( $post_type ) { if ( $registered !== $post_type ) … Read more
Deleted pages are NOT removed from custom menus?
Empty your trash 🙂 Pages are not removed from the custom menus until they’ve been deleted completely. I’ve tested it right now. Creating a complex nav menu can take a very long time and the pages can be bulk deleted in a sec. I believe WordPress is just trying to save you all the trouble … Read more
Show current navigation path from menu
The best way would be to use wp_nav_menu with a custom walker. Prerequisites: Registered theme location Menu saved to that theme location Useage Wherever you want the breadcrumbs (for theme location ‘primary’): <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘container’ => ‘none’, ‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’, ‘walker’=> new SH_BreadCrumbWalker, ‘items_wrap’ => ‘<div id=”breadcrumb-%1$s” class=”%2$s”>%3$s</div>’ ) ); ?> The custom walker … Read more
