How is it possible for me to create a field that adds a custom class to the wordpress navigation items anchor tags and not list items
So I want this:
<li><a class="custom classes" href="example"></a></li>
<li><a class="different custom classes" href="example"></a></li>
<li><a class="other custom classes" href="example"></a></li>
Can someone please help me?
---- Edit :) Sorry lol
Your walker works perfectly on a fresh wp menu. But I tried to add that to the actual theme later on and there is a slight problem :P
class Maha_Mega_Menu extends Walker_Nav_Menu {
function start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = array()) { $indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth); $output .= "\n$indent<div class=\"nav-sub-menus\"><ul>\n"; } function end_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = array()) { $indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth); $output .= "$indent</ul></div>\n"; } function start_el( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $current_object_id = 0 ) { global $wp_query; $cat = $item->object_id; $indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : ''; $class_names = $value = ''; $classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes; $class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) ); $class_names = ' class="' . esc_attr( $class_names ) . '"'; $output .= $indent . '<li id="menu-item-'. $item->ID . '"' . $value . $class_names .'>'; $attributes = ! empty( $item->attr_title ) ? ' title="' . esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) .'"' : ''; $attributes .= ! empty( $item->target ) ? ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target ) .'"' : ''; $attributes .= ! empty( $item->xfn ) ? ' rel="' . esc_attr( $item->xfn ) .'"' : ''; $attributes .= ! empty( $item->url ) ? ' href="' . esc_attr( $item->url ) .'"' : ''; $item_output = $args->before; $item_output .= '<a'. $attributes .'>'; $item_output .= $args->link_before . apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ) . $args->link_after; $item_output .= '</a>'; $children = get_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'nav_menu_item', 'nopaging' => true, 'numberposts' => 1, 'meta_key' => '_menu_item_menu_item_parent', 'meta_value' => $item->ID )); // echo $depth.' x '; if ( ! empty( $children ) || ! get_field( 'menu_latest_posts', 'category_' . $cat ) || get_field( 'menu_latest_posts', 'category_' . $cat ) == 'latest_posts_on' ) { // if ( $depth == 0 && $item->object == 'category' || $item->object == 'page' ) { if ( $depth == 0 && $item->object == 'category' || $item->object == 'page' || $item->object == 'custom' ) { $item_output .= '<div class="nav-sub-wrap container"><div class="nsw row">'; } } $item_output .= $args->after;</code>
The list items on this menu are using the $class_names variable for the custom styling the navigation has. So if IO remove the variable from the li and add it to the the anchor tag, I lose the activate states and everything. Is it somehow possible to avoid that?
I mean the only thing I want is to be able to add different classes like: icon event, icon home etc.. to the 6 different anchor tags on the menu.
