Override settings

[loucas]

Hi guys, thanks for your theme!

I’m working to override the nav walker to have an additional settings “Menu item background”

So far I’ve tried to override the walker method #1: add filter to child theme not successful

// Register walker replacement
add_filter( 'wp_edit_nav_menu_walker',   array( $this, 'custom_filter_walker' ) );

I also tried method #2 to override the entire woodmart/functions.php into woodmart-child/functions/php and it throws an error that “Direct access not allowed”.

Please advise.

PS: Running currently perfectly fine on a MAMP with latest updates, activated theme, PHP 8.2 no issues at all.

Hello,

If you want to set a special walker class for the menu you can use the following code. Note that our support doesn’t cover any errors caused by additional customization

class Custom_Walker extends Walker_Nav_Menu {
}

function set_custom_walker( $args ) {
	$args['walker'] = new Custom_Walker();

	return $args;
}

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', 'set_custom_walker' );

Kind Regards

Thank you, useful info for the frontend view!

However I also need a way for editing the menu item to have an additional option as shown above.

Thank you!

I think I managed:

function set_edit_walker( $walker ) {
	$walker = 'NL_Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit';
    return $walker;
}

if (is_admin()) {
	add_filter( 'wp_edit_nav_menu_walker', 'set_edit_walker', 99 );
}

Thanks again.

Great, we are glad that you managed it. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
