This gist is for showing an example of a custom wordpress menu.

If you want to get more from the menu item simply have a look at the $item object. i.e:

// Will return a large object with lots of props like title, url, description, id etc.
var_dump( $item );

This code works on Wordpress 4.1.1 as of 31st of March 2015

I have modified this script and improved it if anyone is interested.

Why don't you use recursion? It is a very simple way and works for the menus with multiple levels.

speedwheel · 2019-01-11T11:30:19Z

Anyway made it work with unlimited levels?

Third level menu

nickbluestone98 · 2020-02-11T09:23:50Z

That code just doesn't work properly, I ended up just adding the menu items into a PHP array so I could output easily.

Add the following into your functions.php then call in your theme passing the menu of choice.

function wp_get_menu_array($current_menu) {
    $array_menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items($current_menu);
    $menu = array();
    foreach ($array_menu as $m) {
        if (empty($m->menu_item_parent)) {
            $menu[$m->ID] = array();
            $menu[$m->ID]['ID']          =   $m->ID;
            $menu[$m->ID]['title']       =   $m->title;
            $menu[$m->ID]['url']         =   $m->url;
            $menu[$m->ID]['children']    =   array();
        }
    }
    $submenu = array();
    foreach ($array_menu as $m) {
        if ($m->menu_item_parent) {
            $submenu[$m->ID] = array();
            $submenu[$m->ID]['ID']       =   $m->ID;
            $submenu[$m->ID]['title']    =   $m->title;
            $submenu[$m->ID]['url']      =   $m->url;
            $menu[$m->menu_item_parent]['children'][$m->ID] = $submenu[$m->ID];
        }
    }
    return $menu;
}

Then call in your theme $menu_items = wp_get_menu_array('main-menu');

  <nav>
      <ul>
        <?php foreach ($menu_items as $item) : ?>
          <li>
            <a href="<?= $item['url'] ?>" title="<?= $item['title'] ?>"><?= $item['title'] ?></a>
            <?php if( !empty($item['children']) ):?>
            <ul class="sub-menu">
              <?php foreach($item['children'] as $child): ?>
                <li class="b-main-header__sub-menu__nav-item">
                  <a href="<?= $child['url'] ?>" title="<?= $child['title'] ?>"><?= $child['title'] ?></a>
                </li>
              <?php endforeach; ?>
            </ul>
            <?php endif; ?>
          </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
     <ul>
</nav>

Hi, has anyone found a solution for the third level menu? The third level menu does not appear on my website.
In addition, the name of the main menu appears in the submenus. I have shared the sample picture.

josh-tt · 2021-10-22T08:40:23Z

            $menu[$m->ID] = array();
            $menu[$m->ID]['ID']          =   $m->ID;
            $menu[$m->ID]['title']       =   $m->title;
            $menu[$m->ID]['url']         =   $m->url;

                <li class="b-main-header__sub-menu__nav-item">
                  <a href="<?= $child['url'] ?>" title="<?= $child['title'] ?>"><?= $child['title'] ?></a>
                </li>
              <?php endforeach; ?>
            </ul>
            <?php endif; ?>
          </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
     <ul>
</nav>

This works nicely, thanks. Any tips on how to approach getting the current menu item styled?

mehmetsarr · 2021-10-22T12:06:07Z

Bu kod düzgün çalışmıyor, kolayca çıktı alabilmek için menü öğelerini bir PHP dizisine ekledim.

Aşağıdakileri function.php dosyanıza ekleyin ve ardından seçtiğiniz menüden temanızı çağırın.

function wp_get_menu_array($current_menu) {
    $array_menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items($current_menu);
    $menu = array();
    foreach ($array_menu as $m) {
        if (empty($m->menu_item_parent)) {
            $menu[$m->ID] = array();
            $menu[$m->ID]['ID']          =   $m->ID;
            $menu[$m->ID]['title']       =   $m->title;
            $menu[$m->ID]['url']         =   $m->url;
            $menu[$m->ID]['children']    =   array();
        }
    }
    $submenu = array();
    foreach ($array_menu as $m) {
        if ($m->menu_item_parent) {
            $submenu[$m->ID] = array();
            $submenu[$m->ID]['ID']       =   $m->ID;
            $submenu[$m->ID]['title']    =   $m->title;
            $submenu[$m->ID]['url']      =   $m->url;
            $menu[$m->menu_item_parent]['children'][$m->ID] = $submenu[$m->ID];
        }
    }
    return $menu;
}

Ardından temanızı arayın $menu_items = wp_get_menu_array('main-menu');

  <nav>
      <ul>
        <?php foreach ($menu_items as $item) : ?>
          <li>
            <a href="<?= $item['url'] ?>" title="<?= $item['title'] ?>"><?= $item['title'] ?></a>
            <?php if( !empty($item['children']) ):?>
            <ul class="sub-menu">
              <?php foreach($item['children'] as $child): ?>
                <li class="b-main-header__sub-menu__nav-item">
                  <a href="<?= $child['url'] ?>" title="<?= $child['title'] ?>"><?= $child['title'] ?></a>
                </li>
              <?php endforeach; ?>
            </ul>
            <?php endif; ?>
          </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
     <ul>
</nav>

This code works fine but when I add 3rd level menu it gives the following warning. How can I fix this?
