Nav Menu Roles Fix

Hello!

I am using Kleo on two different client sites and we need Nav Menu Roles for each of them. I know this has been an issue for a while. I just saw this:

I don’t see the Nav Menu Roles options in the admin menu items?

This is because you have another plugin (or theme) that is also trying to alter the same code that creates the Menu section in the admin.

WordPress does not have sufficient hooks in this area of the admin and until they do plugins are forced to replace everything via custom admin menu Walker, of which there can be only one. There’s a trac ticket for this, but it has been around a while.

A non-exhaustive list of known conflicts:

1. UberMenu 2.x Mega Menus plugin
2. Add Descendants As Submenu Items plugin
3. Navception plugin
4. Suffusion theme
5. BeTheme
6. Yith Menu
7. Kleo Theme
8. Jupiter Theme

Workaround #1

Shazdeh had the genius idea to not wait for a core hook and simply add the hook ourselves. If all plugin and theme authors use the same hook, we can make our plugins play together.

Therefore, as of version 1.6 I am modifying my admin nav menu Walker to only adding the following lines (right after the description input):

<?php 
// Place this in your admin nav menu Walker
do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', $item_id, $item, $depth, $args );
// end added section 
?>

Ask your conflicting plugin/theme’s author to add this code to his plugin or theme and our plugins will become compatible.

Will this be added to the next update of the Kleo theme? Or should I pay my developer to get this fix done?
