[Support request] Lose Navigation Menu Labels when using DAP & has sub-menu items

[Tom]

Well, I assumed it would install like a normal WordPress plugin, but it seems I was wrong.

I just spent a while looking through their code but unfortunately I’m completely lost. The way they’ve hidden menu items is very complicated… I’m sure they have reasons for how they’ve done it, but it seems like it could be done with core WP filters instead.

The only idea I have is to do something like this:

add_action( 'wp', function() {
    $show_menu_items = Dap_Config::get("SHOW_PROT_MENULINKS");

    if ( 'N' === $show_menu_items ) {
        remove_filter( 'nav_menu_item_title', 'generate_dropdown_icon_to_menu_link', 10, 4 );
    }
} );

I have no idea if it will work or not, but it basically removes the filter that GeneratePress uses to add the dropdown arrows if that option is set to no.

Do you need the install files and instructions to install it so you can do what you need to do and have a full working copy?

Where would I copy that code to for testing purposes?

We could try that, although I’m not sure how helpful I can be here as their code is very difficult to understand.

Let’s try my function first. You can add it using one of these methods: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Tried the code and it didn’t work.

I take it back, I didn’t “Activate” the code. Am using Code Snippet.

Now you see the label for menu options that are a pull-down menu, but the icon showing it’s a pull-down menu is gone. Looks like we’re very close.

I’m afraid I’m not sure what the complete solution is here, unfortunately.

The filter we’re using (nav_menu_item_title) is a core WordPress filter, and we’re using it correctly.

I’m not sure what DAP is doing when it’s filtering the menu items, but they’re not using core filters to do so.

While they say it’s a theme conflict, I believe the same conflict will happen with their plugin with any theme or plugin that uses the nav_menu_item_title filter. It’s something they should definitely want to look into or at least test.
