I am trying to create a navigation menu for a custom Wordpress theme using the wp_nav_menu() function. However, an when I use the function and reload the webpage, an annoying <div> html element appears and uses the class I want to style my <ul> with. Has anyone came across this issue before and how can I fix this?
The structure at the moment is like this:
<div class="nav">
<ul>
<li>Menu Item</li>
</ul>
</div>
I would like it to look like this:
<ul class="nav">
<li>Menu Item</li>
</ul>
Many thanks
According to the docs for wp_nav_menu you can use wp_nav_menu(array('container' => false)) to disable the container.
Edit: You have also have to set the theme_location option so the fallback doesn't get triggered.
If you want to remove container div then, you need to mention theme location.
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu','container' => 'none','menu'=>'Secondary') );

I have an archive events page that links to a single page that lists all previous events created in the past and can only be visited via the archive events page.
My question is, how can I highlight the archive events page url link when viewing this single page?
For example the below snippet targets a hard-coded nav link to highlight the events link when viewing the other page, however my menu is not hard-coded:
<nav class="main-navigation">
<ul>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>
<?php if(get_post_type() == 'event' OR is_page('past-events')) echo 'class="current-menu-item"';?>>
events
</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</nav>
The tutorial I am following does not give the alternative coded way of targeting this similarly in the functions.php page, for a dynamic menu that is created via the wordpress dashboard menu.
I have tried searching for examples, but I havent found anything that has helped so far and in need of some outside help.
How can I do this?
I can see something wrong. you haven't put the php code in right place. corrected code is this. try this and let me know if it works
<nav class="main-navigation">
<ul>
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
<li <?php if(get_post_type() == 'event') echo 'class="current-menu-item"';?>>
</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Ok, I think I have found a solution -- being a novice -- has worked!
Hopefully someone can point out any changes/improvements I could make, but here it is:
To highlight a menu link for a different page than the one that you are on/viewing, for example in my scenario: I have an archive events page and within that page I have a link that takes you to a single page that lists all past previous events, but that has no link in the main navigation to it.
function nav_class($classes) {
// Remove "current-menu-item" class
$classes = array_diff($classes, array('current-menu-item'));
// If this is the "past-events" page, highlight the event menu item
if (in_array('menu-item-36', $classes) && is_page('past-events')) {
$classes[] = "current-menu-item";
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'nav_class', 10, 2);
I hope this helps someone else out.
My wordpress menu has ::before elements that slide across when the menu items are hovered on, it looks great but the problem is when the before element slides across it covers the text and the way wordpress does the menu links is that by default the link only covers the text of the menu item and not the whole div.I don't have enough rep to take show pictures of the page structure but hopefully you can get the idea.
header.php code
<div class="navbar ">
<?php
$defaults = array(
'container' => 'div',
'container_class' => 'navbar',
'theme-location' =>'primary-menu',
'menu_class' => 'no-bullet',
'menu_class' => 'navitems',
);
wp_nav_menu( $defaults );
?>
How a menu item renders on dev tools
<li id="menu-item-82" class="nav-b icon-dice menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-
object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-57 current_page_item menu-item-

I really need some help on this, if you need me to add anything just comment
You can achieve this with the help of wp menu walker. It gives you the ability to manipulate the structure of the menu. You can refer following example:

I need help in changing the style of a li in selected state. I'm using a Custom wordpress template for my Pages. I dont wanna create several templates just to set the class of li on each pages to .selected.
anyway here is my code:
<nav class="topmenu">
<ul>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'menu-2' ) ); ?>
</ul>
</nav>
I do have several pages and i added them in menu-2
You don't need to add .selected class to the menu. WordPress automatically adds following two classes to the current menu item. You can place the code of .selected class in these classes and it will work..
current-menu-item
current_page_item
I am pretty new to wordpress and am having trouble creating the primary navigation for the site.
I am using wp-nav-menu to output my dynamic menu.
The code I would like to output is the following...
<ul class="mainNav">
<li>Home</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Treatments<span></span>
<ul>
<li>Body Treatments</li>
<li>Make Up</li>
<li>Skincare</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Latest News</li>
<li>Aftercare</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
The code I have used to get the menu above is this...
<?php wp_nav_menu(
array(
'menu' => 'Primary Navigation',
'items_wrap' => '<ul class="mainNav">%3$s</ul>'
)
); ?>
This gets me the main menu but I do not know how to get the <li> with the class of dropdown. I would also like to place a <span> inside one of the links, as you can see in my HTML code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have figured it out and will write it here in case anyone has the same problem.
In the wordpress admin, there is a link called screen options. Open this, and tick CSS classes, you can then add individual classes to menu items.
Good day.
I am trying to modify the navigation menu layout of a drupal theme. The problem is i'm not a coder, but can follow tutorials and understand bits and peaices.
What I have is a set of menus and sub menus. At the moment the sub menus expand below their parent menus. What I want is for the sub menus to expand but live below all the parent menus so it would look like the structure below.
How it currently looks
Navigation_Menu_One
Sub_Menu_One
Sub_Menu_Two
Sub_Menu_Three
Navigation_Menu_Two
Navigation_Menu_Three
What I want it to end up looking like:
Navigation_Menu_One
Navigation_Menu_Two
Navigation_Menu_Three
Sub_Menu_One
Sub_Menu_Two
Sub_Menu_Three
What I have figured out is that the menu system is built from the following class's
<ul class="menu">
<li class="first collapsed"></li>
<li class="first collapsed"></li>
<li class="collapsed"></li>
<li class="expanded active-trail"> (The expanded Menu)
<ul class="menu"></ul> (the sub menu I want to relocate)
</li>
<li class="collapsed"></li>
<li class="collapsed"></li>
<li class="collapsed"></li>
<li class="last collapsed"></li>
</ul>
So what I want to do is be able to add something to the page that would capture the
<ul class="menu"></ul>
that appears below the
<li class="expanded active-trail">
and relocate it to below the last class or another div.
I understand I will need to do this using PHP from one of the template files with in the theme. Would any one have any idea how I would go about doing this. The theme I am using is the Corolla theme if that helps at all, but I guess it would be the same for any theme.
Hi and welcome to StackOverflow.
It seems to me from your description that you should be able to achieve this without writing any code. Simply navigate to site building > menus > navigation and use the drag handles to move the sub menus so that they are underneath the desired menu item.
