adding menus to pages
3 replies · Started by doug on May 5, 2021
I have a situation where i want to add different NAV menus to some pages.
I found code that can be put in functions.php
see this link for the code.

Is there a better way to do this in the theme or, should I follow its documentation and use the child theme?
Hi there,
You can play around with the default menus by filtering them with wp_nav_menu_args.
Example: If the page has id of 1, use "Home Menu". Every other page use "Another Menu".
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_args', function ( $args ) {
if ( 'primary' === $args['theme_location'] ) {
if ( is_page(1) ) {
$args['menu'] = 'Home Menu';
} else {
$args['menu'] = 'Another Menu';
}
}
return $args;
} );I'm trying to add a second menu to some pages. so I figured the best way would be to do it via shortcode.
my question is, should I put the shortcode code in functions.php, use the code snippets plugin, or is there a better plugin for using a shortcode to call a menu.
Hi there,
PHP Functions such as the one for creating a shortcode can be added either via the Code Snippets plugin or in your Child Theme Functions.php.
