WordPress 4.7 and Nav Menu Role Not working

  • Has anyone had issues with the display mode not working after WordPress Update? I updated nav menu that says it is compatible with

    1.8.5 Use new Walker for WP4.7

    I updated to Nav Menu Roles to 1.8.6 and all of a sudden the display mode not showing up. I also updated to WordPress 4.7. I uploaded an older version of Nav Menu Roles and still no dice. So this leaves me to believe there might an issue in code with the plugin for WP 4.7 as to why it is not displaying all of a sudden?

    Please try disabling other plugins and reverting to a default theme. This issue is almost always a conflict of some sort.

    Nevermind, it was the theme that was causing it. LOL!

    I don’t get though. Why would the theme just stop working with it after an wordpress update?

    The theme may not have updated it’s own approach to how our mutual, custom hook has been added. I saw a similar thing happen with the Menu Items plugin. You can try this plugin I wrote to give NMR a super high priority and the NMR menu options should re-appear. Then you can disable it when you need to switch to the theme. And in one person’s case, it actually made the theme and my plugin play together. Please contact your theme author though to ask them to get their theme updated for 4.7.

    @helgatheviking – your plugin you wrote (nav-menu-roles-toggle.php) worked! I was experiencing the same problem with the 4.7 update. Thank you!

    Hi,
    Sorry i have just fixed.
    I have edited the function Walker_Nav_Menu in my theme and added your hook and now it work.
    do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', $item_id, $item, $depth, $args );

    Can you try again and double-check, because I can confirm that it does work in a clean environment.

    i have Wp4.7.2
    i just don’t see the roles when i click on the page attribute of the Menu item

    sorry pls ignore my previous port re: not working. i think it was deactivated by the admin.

    @erlee I’m glad it’s working for you. But next time please read the FAQ before posting and if you still have an issue, open your own thread.
