Widgets not showing

The first you add widgets to “Menubar Area”, then you must active them in the “menu settings” for each menu item through the following address :
Appearance > Menus

Screen Shot’s

Please do not forget be active “description” item of ” Show advanced menu properties “ in ” Appearance > Menus ( Screen Options ) “, otherwise the widgets not displayed in menu settings.

I am having the same problem as Just Corin and there is no, as you say, Show advanced menu properties” in “Appearance > Menus ( Screen Options )” in the Menu section of the Dashboard at Appearance > Menus.

hi @drycreekweb and thanks for feedback. ??

If you can see “Menubar Area”, but the widgets will not be displayed in “Appearance > Menus” section, so maybe the menubar-widgets plugin be interfering to other plugins or current theme.

A similar issue reported here.

I recommend you use this way :

function overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker() {
    global $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin;

    remove_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 10 );
    add_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 150 );
}
add_action( 'after_theme_setup', 'overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker' );

Same Issues with my menubar plugin…there is no advanced options nor is there options within each menu item.

hi @ndesign55.

Have you seen this video?

Checked it out, looks like after my updates to wordpress 4 is the underlying reason why Im not finding any luck with the functionality :z

Scratch that Hadi, tested on basic WP4 install and MenuBar worked fine. I running Virtue Themes which seems to be the problem at this point…I ran updates and switched back to twenty-twelve theme and everything is looking fine : )

Please send to me your theme to check out and find a solution.

I made a Child Theme for the Catch Fire theme and added your php above to the child functions.php file but I see no change.

I watched the video. I only see the Menubar Area in Appearance > Widgets. I see no Menubar Widgets section in Appearance > Menus. I checked “Description” in the menu options.

I’m sorry @drycreekweb for the delay in submitting this comment. I did not receive any notification for this topic. ??

Please add the big numbers for third parameter of add_filter function, for example :

function overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker() {
    global $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin;

    remove_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 10 );
    add_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 500 );
}
add_action( 'after_theme_setup', 'overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker' );

If this did not work for you, i can not help, Unless you send me your theme.

I put the code you just sent into my child theme’s functions.php file. I don’t understand what “big numbers for third parameter of add_filter function” are. Looks like it is where you put “500”. I don’t what number I am supposed to put there so I just put it in the way you wrote it to see if anything would happen.

Sorry, I am a primarily a designer with very limited php knowledge, so I don’t understand what your code is doing.

The theme I am using is: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/catch-flames (Oops, I told you Catch Fire before, sorry, it’s Catch Flames)

Your plugin looks awesome, I hope we can get it to work!

Thank’s @drycreekweb. ??
You can vote to this plugin, here.

I checked your theme, there is not any problem to menubar-widgets plugin.
After put above code on child theme functions.php file, If you still can not see the menubar-widgets section, so there is here a problem to another plugins.

Please deactivate your plugins for find the plugin that is problematic.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, Hadi. Thanks for pointing me to this thread. I don’t understand much of it, but I did try disabling other plugins, and it had no effect.

If you don’t see the widgets under the menu section, you should to follow this steps:

1. Tick the “description” checkbox

Under “Appearance > Menus” page, go to “Screen Options” and tick the “description” checkbox.

then check the menubar-widgets section, if it had not effect, follow next step.

2. Overwrite the Walker_Menubar_Widgets class

Using one code editor ( like NotePade++ ), open the functions.php file ( exists under your theme directory, e.g wp-content/your-theme/functions.php ).

And then copy this code and paste into functions.php file :

function overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker() {
    global $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin;

    remove_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 10 );
    add_filter("wp_edit_nav_menu_walker", array( $Menubar_Widgets_Plugin, "register_menubar_widgets_walker"), 500 );
}
add_action( 'after_theme_setup', 'overwrite_menubar_widgets_walker' , 200 );

check the menubar-widgets section, if it had not effect, follow next step.

3. Switch theme or disable another plugins

You can switched back to twenty-twelve theme or disable another plugins, and then check the menubar-widgets section, if it had not effect, please report the issue here.
