I want to create a custom HTML sitemap using wp_nav_menu() because this function has the exact structure I want to display. It works, but the only problem I have is with some parent pages that are only used to display child pages. They have '#' as a link. So I want to display the title of these parent pages without the link.
This is the code I have so far. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
<?php
$webpages = wp_nav_menu( array(
'items_wrap' => '%3$s',
'menu' => 'Menu principal',
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'pages-container',
'post_status' => 'publish'
) );
if ( $webpages ) {
$permalink = get_permalink();
foreach ( $webpages as $page ) :
setup_postdata( $page ); ?>
<li> <?php
if ($permalink === '#') {
echo strip_tags($permalink,'a');
}
else {
//'' . the_title(); '';
$permalink;
}
?> </li>
<?php
endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
?>
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I'm making a sidebar that will display sibling pages if the current page is the deepest level child, and only child pages if it is not. This is as far as I've gotten, I haven't been able to figure out the logic to complete it. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
global $post;
if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent )
$childpages = wp_list_pages( 'sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->post_parent . '&echo=0' );
else
$childpages = wp_list_pages( 'sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID . '&echo=0' );
if ( $childpages ) {
$interior_sidebar = '<ul class="child-pages">' . $childpages . '</ul>';
}
Use wp_list_pages() with your parameters to get children of current post. If it comes back empty then display wp_list_pages() of current post's parent; if not empty display what was returned.
You are on the right track.
global $post isn't safe to use (it can be a post other than the page you are viewing), especially in a sidebar - I'd recommend doing something like get_queried_item().
And, to keep things simple, rather than calling wp_list_pages multiple times, I'd recommend setting up the arguments in each of condition, then having a single wp_list_pages call at the end.
// safer method to get the page you are viewing
$post = get_queried_object();
// will be TRUE if there's any child pages, FALSE if not
$has_children = (0 != get_pages( [ 'child_of' => $post->ID ] ) );
// set to prevent notices
$child_pages = FALSE;
if ( is_page( $post->ID ) && $post->post_parent ) {
$args = [
'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'title_li' => '',
'echo' => 0,
// this is a ternary operation, that assigns $post->ID if $has_children, or $post_parent if not
'child_of' => ( $has_children ) ? $post->ID : $post->post_parent
];
$childpages = wp_list_pages( $args );
}
if ( $childpages ) {
$interior_sidebar = '<ul class="child-pages">' . $childpages . '</ul>';
}
NOTE: I've used the shorthand version for array declarations (example, [ 'child_of' => $post->ID ] instead of array( 'child_of' => $post->ID ) - this works for PHP versions 5.4+ - if you're on an older version of PHP, upgrade - it's not supported any longer
Solved with:
function wpb_list_child_pages() {
global $post;
$childpages = wp_list_pages(array(
'child_of' => $post->ID,
'depth' => 1,
'echo' => '0',
'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'title_li' => ''
));
if ( $childpages ) {
$string =$childpages;
} else {
$childpages = wp_list_pages(array(
'child_of' => $post->post_parent,
'depth' => 1,
'exclude' => $post->ID,
'title_li' => ''
));
$string = $childpages;
}
echo $string; }
I then simply called the function in my template: <ul class="child-pages"><?php wpb_list_child_pages(); ?></ul>
I'm trying to create a sidebar navigation that has the current page and it's children displayed (or if it's the child page, it's siblings and the parent page)
I can only get the children or, when on a child, siblings to display.
How can I get
Parent
Child
Child
To display when on either the parent or child Pages? I don't want the parent page's siblings to display and nothing I try seems to work!
Thanks
<?php
//GET CHILD PAGES IF THERE ARE ANY
$children = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID);
//GET PARENT PAGE IF THERE IS ONE
$parent = $post->post_parent;
//DO WE HAVE SIBLINGS?
$siblings = get_pages('child_of='.$parent);
if( count($children) != 0) {
$args = array(
'depth' => 1,
'title_li' => '',
'child_of' => $post->ID
);
} elseif($parent != 0) {
$args = array(
'depth' => 1,
'title_li' => '',
'child_of' => $parent
);
}
//Show pages if this page has more than one sibling
// and if it has children
if(count($siblings) > 1 && !is_null($args))
{?>
<ul class="pages-list">
<?php wp_list_pages($args); ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
I have a main navigation and all parents have children.
Eg:
Page A: About Us
child1
child2
Page B : Our services
Child 3
Child 4
I need to include a horizontal sub-menu on a page. But my problem is, if currently we are on page A, all the child items of page A only to be displayed on page.
If we are on Page A, it should looks like:
Page A
Child 1
Child 2
Like this, when we go to Page B, the child of page B only to be displayed.
<?php
$args = array(
'theme_location' => '',
'menu' => '13', //nav menu id, which has about-us as a menu.
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => '',
'container_id' => '',
'menu_class' => 'menu',
'menu_id' => '',
'echo' => true,
'fallback_cb' => 'wp_page_menu',
'before' => '',
'after' => '',
'link_before' => '',
'link_after' => '',
'items_wrap' => '<ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>',
'depth' => 0,
'walker' => ''
);
$menu_items = wp_nav_menu($args);//wp_get_nav_menu_items(13);
I tried writing above code, which resulted in all the parent items with their children.
Can someone help me on this?
In short, I want to get all the children(sub-menu) of About us menu entry.(i.e. I want child1 & child2 as a list with <a> tags)
Please write this code in theme's functions.php
<?php
// add hook
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'my_wp_nav_menu_objects_sub_menu', 10, 2 );
// filter_hook function to react on sub_menu flag
function my_wp_nav_menu_objects_sub_menu( $sorted_menu_items, $args ) {
if ( isset( $args->sub_menu ) ) {
$root_id = 0;
// find the current menu item
foreach ( $sorted_menu_items as $menu_item ) {
if ( $menu_item->current ) {
// set the root id based on whether the current menu item has a parent or not
$root_id = ( $menu_item->menu_item_parent ) ? $menu_item->menu_item_parent : $menu_item->ID;
break;
}
}
// find the top level parent
if ( ! isset( $args->direct_parent ) ) {
$prev_root_id = $root_id;
while ( $prev_root_id != 0 ) {
foreach ( $sorted_menu_items as $menu_item ) {
if ( $menu_item->ID == $prev_root_id ) {
$prev_root_id = $menu_item->menu_item_parent;
// don't set the root_id to 0 if we've reached the top of the menu
if ( $prev_root_id != 0 ) $root_id = $menu_item->menu_item_parent;
break;
}
}
}
}
$menu_item_parents = array();
foreach ( $sorted_menu_items as $key => $item ) {
// init menu_item_parents
if ( $item->ID == $root_id ) $menu_item_parents[] = $item->ID;
if ( in_array( $item->menu_item_parent, $menu_item_parents ) ) {
// part of sub-tree: keep!
$menu_item_parents[] = $item->ID;
} else if ( ! ( isset( $args->show_parent ) && in_array( $item->ID, $menu_item_parents ) ) ) {
// not part of sub-tree: away with it!
unset( $sorted_menu_items[$key] );
}
}
return $sorted_menu_items;
} else {
return $sorted_menu_items;
}
}
Then you can display it in your theme using wp_nav_menu (just like you normally would), but also passing in a sub_menu flag to activate the custom sub_menu function:
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'primary',
'sub_menu' => true
) );
?>
When on a page you first get all the pages, then you can get the current page ID, get the children in an array and loop through this array like this:
<?php
// First get all the pages in your site
$wp_query = new WP_Query();
$all_pages = $wp_query->query(array('post_type' => 'page'));
// Then get your current page ID and children (out of all the pages)
$current_page_id = get_the_id();
$current_page_children = get_page_children($current_page_id, $all_pages);
// Loop through the array of children pages
foreach ($current_page_children as $child_page) {
// Echo whatever you want from the pages
}
?>
EDIT: This has nothing to do with the structured menus you make in the backend, it has to do with making a page child of another page directly in the page edit section.
This is doing it all
<?php
global $wp_query;
if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
} ?>
<?php if(wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent&echo=0" )): ?>
<div>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$parent" ); ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Thanks for all the solutions !
I wrote a function to help with this, since most examples I found include the page children, but not the parent itself. Just add this function to your functions.php file:
<?php
// Display sub menu
function the_sub_menu()
{
global $post;
// Open list
echo '<ul class="sub_menu">';
// Sub page
if($post->post_parent) {
// Load parent
$parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
// Add parent to list
echo '<li>' . $parent->post_title . '</li>';
// Add children to list
wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=' . $post->post_parent);
// Parent page
} else {
// Add parent to list
echo '<li class="current_page_item">' . $post->post_title . '</li>';
// Add children to list
wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID);
}
// Close list
echo '</ul>';
}
Then, to use it on a page, simply call it like this:
<?php get_header() ?>
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post() ?>
<!-- Include the sub menu! -->
<?php the_sub_menu() ?>
<article>
<?php the_content() ?>
</article>
<?php endwhile ?>
<?php get_footer() ?>
First thing you need to do is to make your 'child1' 'child2' pages as child pages of 'About Us' page.
Click here to find out more on creating sub pages.
Once you have the pages structured, you can use this function, (link to docs)
<?php wp_list_pages( $args );
$args = array(
'depth' => 0,
'show_date' => '',
'date_format' => get_option('date_format'),
'child_of' => N, //N here should be replaced by your About-us page ID.
'exclude' => '',
'include' => '',
'title_li' => __('About Us'), //here you can mention any title you like for the list that's echoed by this function
'echo' => 1,
'authors' => '',
'sort_column' => 'menu_order, post_title',
'link_before' => '',
'link_after' => '',
'walker' => '',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish'
); ?>
Same goes for your 'Our services' page, Hope this resolves your problem. Do let us know if you face any problem & welcome to stackoverflow!
A fast and "dirty" solution.
I have created the following file .../wp-content/plugins/gabriel-submenu.php
With this content:
<?php

I'm currently using this code (per the codex) to show children on parent pages, and children of the parent pages on their children:
<?php if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
I would like to add that if on a secondary child page (child's child) to then show it's parent and parent's siblings.
Thank you for your help! :D
<?php
if($post->post_parent)
{
//get the parent post
$parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
//check to see if we have a grandparent
if($parent->post_parent)
{
$page_list = wp_list_pages( array( 'child_of' => $parent->post_parent, 'echo' => false, 'depth' => 1 ) );
}
else
{
$page_list = wp_list_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->post_parent, 'echo' => false, 'depth' => 1 ) );
}
}
else
$page_list = wp_list_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->ID, 'echo' => false, 'depth' => 1 ) );
if ($page_list) {
?>
<ul>
<?php echo $page_list; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
This will check if the post has a parent and then if that post has a parent. The $page_list should be a list of pages of the parent and its siblings. the 'depth' => 1 tells WordPress to only get one level of pages. This will stop it from getting the children of those pages
