Get menu data by name not id

not currently, sorry
also two menus could have the same name, it wouldn’t work with routes… IDs are unique

Thats technically not true since for menus ids, slugs and names are unique. Note that wp_get_nav_menu_object and wp_get_nav_menu_items (the functions you are using) take either one of them.

For someone finding this thread in the future, I have a branch in my fork of this plugin which implements this.

https://github.com/Fahrradflucht/wp-api-menus/tree/get-menu-by-id-name-and-slug

when I activate the plugin, I got this error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ‘)’ in /home4/naylin/public_html/manutdmyanmar/wp-content/plugins/wp-api-menus/includes/wp-api-menus-v2.php on line 185

How can I fix it?

How is this related to this thread? Do you posted it here because re referring to my branch?
If yes then Im not sure how this is possible since line 185 is empty…

If not, you are better of opening a new thread or open an issue on github.

I think you’ve run into a PHP 5.2 issue

current code contains a couple of anonymous functions that are incompatible with ancient PHP versions, this has slipped through during a previous update and wasn’t supposed to be there

please update PHP to 5.5 or newer — that would fix the error

also please don’t post duplicate questions in different threads as in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/doesnt-seem-to-be-working-15?replies=12 but open a new one pertaining to your issue, thank you
