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.

I have a custom wordpress theme and would like my menu to be a little different than Wordpress standards like this:
<div class="nav-bar">
<ul>
<li>
Home
Gallery
About Me
Contact Me
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I only manage to remove the <li> in my walker class but can't manage to move the links inside the 1 li tag.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT :
This was achieved now by using wp_get_nav_menu_items.
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 $classes;
}
add_filter('nav_menu_css_class', 'nav_class', 10, 2);
I hope this helps someone else out.
I am trying to create a navigation menu for a custom Wordpress theme using the wp_nav_menu() function. However, an when I use the function and reload the webpage, an annoying <div> html element appears and uses the class I want to style my <ul> with. Has anyone came across this issue before and how can I fix this?
The structure at the moment is like this:
<div class="nav">
<ul>
<li>Menu Item</li>
</ul>
</div>
I would like it to look like this:
<ul class="nav">
<li>Menu Item</li>
</ul>
Many thanks
According to the docs for wp_nav_menu you can use wp_nav_menu(array('container' => false)) to disable the container.
Edit: You have also have to set the theme_location option so the fallback doesn't get triggered.
If you want to remove container div then, you need to mention theme location.
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu','container' => 'none','menu'=>'Secondary') );
I am pretty new to wordpress and am having trouble creating the primary navigation for the site.
I am using wp-nav-menu to output my dynamic menu.
The code I would like to output is the following...
<ul class="mainNav">
<li>Home</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Treatments<span></span>
<ul>
<li>Body Treatments</li>
<li>Make Up</li>
<li>Skincare</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Latest News</li>
<li>Aftercare</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
The code I have used to get the menu above is this...
<?php wp_nav_menu(
array(
'menu' => 'Primary Navigation',
'items_wrap' => '<ul class="mainNav">%3$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.
I am interested in how to highlight the category in which I am present - with the "current" class in the template. The problem is compounded by the fact that the list of categories is not retrieved from the database WordPress (the same place, as I understand, they are stored?), that is - directly from the HTML... How to make the following code:
code:
<ul>
<li class="blabla">
<a>1</a>
</li>
<li class="blabla">
<a>2</a>
</li>
<li class="blabla">
<a>3</a>
</li>
</ul>
code to be dynamic, for example when I go into the category of "2" to "li" will be added to the class "current":
code:
<ul>
<li class="blabla">
<a>1</a>
</li>
<li class="blabla current">
<a>2</a>
</li>
<li class="blabla">
<a>3</a>
</li>
</ul>
I tried to read the codex but I have two problems - I'm not good at php and most importantly hard to read in English
I sincerely apologize for the broken English with which I asked, "that" the question
I'm not sure if I understand your question, but based on what you said, you can use css.
Example
/* This will highlight your menu item gray if it has current in its class attribute*/
.current {
background:#555;
}
If you just want a menu of the categories, you can use the Wordpress category widget. It creates a menu with a list of all the categories. If you click on the category, it will have a class of current-cat. This only happens when you are in the category filter list view, so if you click on a post with that category, it will not say 'current-cat'.
If you want something more specialized, then it's still possible. Tell me if the category widget will not work for you.
Here is the way to do it in php if you don't want to use a widget. It does basically the same thing, but you have more freedom where you want to put it.
This is the reference page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories
Basically all you need is that function. Just place this snippet of code where you want your categories to appear:
<?php echo wp_list_categories() ?>
That should create a basic html list of all the categories. It will also set the current-cat class if you are in the category archive view.
If you want to override the current category behavior above, you can also force the menu to select a current category based on the id of the category you select. So in this example, it will add the current-cat class to the category with id three.
<?php echo wp_list_categories(array('current_category' => 3)) ?>
/* this is working #747474:gray*/
.current {
background:#747474;
}
