Menu Item Types
Menu Item Types makes it easy to add links to your archive pages, titles, items without URL, paragraphs or images to your navigation menus. You can also easily override the templates and/or create your own custom elements. Create your own item type You need to declare your new type in, functions.php, a plugin, child theme, or your custom theme like this : function register_my_custom_type(){ $args = array( 'slug' => "my-custom-type", 'label' => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ), 'render' => 'path/to/render/my-custom-render.php', ); mitypes_register_type( $args ); } add_action( 'mitypes_init', 'register_my_custom_type' ); You can do more than that on $args. $args = array( 'slug' => "my-custom-type", 'label' => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ), 'render' => 'path/to/my-custom-type-render.php', // Link your custom icon 'icon' => 'https://url-to-icon-file.svg', // Return ACF Group field array 'field-group' => [ 'key' => 'uniq_key', 'title' => 'Group Title', 'fields => [ ... ], 'location' => [ [ [ 'param' => 'mitypes', 'operator' => '==', 'value' => 'my-custom-type', ], ], ], ], // Use callback for customize your item // you can add filter on 'mitypes_nav_menu_link_attributes' if you need 'callback' => function(){ ... } ); And finally, you can work in the render with some variables. You have two variables available: // $item is the WP_Post of the menu item, with which you can, for example, retrieve custom field data. $id = get_field( 'acf-slug', $item->ID ) ; // $args is an object containing the complete configuration of the wp_nav_menu() call, // including the current menu (WP_Term), classes, IDs, wrappers, depth, walker, menu location, etc. // More info : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/ There are already additional plugins. You can also create your own elements like these plugins do: Menu Item Types — Button Menu Item Types — Action Customize the plugin // Disable Post Type Archive Metabox add_filter( 'mitypes_has_post_type_archive_metabox', '__return_false' ) ; // Disable Buildin Item types add_filter( 'mitypes_has_buildin_item_types', '__return_false' ) ; // Mix Buildin and Plugin Item types in the metabox add_filter( 'mitypes_mix_metabox_item_types', '__return_true' ) ; // Filter Supported Item types add_filter( 'mitypes_supported_types', function(){ return ['image']; } ); // Disable Nav Item Icons add_filter( 'mitypes_nav_menu_items_has_icons', '__return_false' ) ;
NS Featured Posts
NS Featured Posts This plugin adds checkboxes for each list item. You can easily check/uncheck the Featured flag. Checking the Featured will set the meta value yes for meta key _is_ns_featured_post. You can choose which post types you want Featured functionality from plugin settings. Using in theme This plugin only sets/unsets the meta key for assigned posts. You need to implement it in your theme to get Featured functionality. Example: $query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) ); This will fetch the list of posts that are checked as Featured.
