Disregard, I activated a custom field and do indeed see the infinite spin. Luckily that site is on WPEngine, so I checked the error log and found the issue… I recently added a help class to the plugin to keep help tab functionality more centralized, but that class has an issue during the AJAX call. I will post a fix later today.

Oddly enough, I just did a Divi implementation a couple weeks ago. I used the Nav Menu Collapse plugin instead of the Nav Menu Manager as I do with all purchased themes. If all you are looking for is collapse/expand functionality, the Nav Menu Collapse plugin is the way to go.

I tried activating Nav Menu Manager on the Divi site I built and adding new menu items still works fine. Which other plugins are you running on the site?

That being said, the Nav Menu Manager is still fully maintained. I did some testing on sites that I use the plugin on and don’t see any infinite spinning occurring when trying to add new menu items.

@simco,

This plugin overrides the nav menu edit walker. Is it possible that override is causing the issue? When I first built this plugin, I was doing more custom theme development, but many purchased themes have their over nav menu edit walker built-in. Are you using a purchased theme for the site in question?

Because of compatibility issues with purchased themes and some plugins, I created a plugin for just the collapse/expand functionality which uses JavaScript instead of a custom nav menu edit walker: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/nav-menu-collapse/.

Thank you,
Robert

Thank you, @antonmccoy! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you run into any issues.

@rglennnall,

I know I took my sweet time, but I have added functionality that retains the collapse/expand states for each user. I started by developing the Nav Menu Collapse plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/nav-menu-collapse/) which is dedicated to the collapse/expand functionality. I then implemented the added functionality for that plugin into the Nav Menu Manager. I don’t know if you are still using the plugin, but figured I would let you know.

@johnm243,

This could be done in a couple ways:

1. The NMM Menu widget could be placed in a sidebar that appears on every page.
2. The wp_nav_menu call could be generated using the plugin and placed in the appropriate location within the theme for your site.

Nav Menu Manager is built to help reduce the amount of coding required to build and maintain nav menus, but some coding may still be required depending on your requirements.

Robert

Thank you, @rglennnall!

I did not build in any sort of mechanism to recall the state of collapsed items. It is something I have thought about implementing, but as a freelance developer it’s hard to find the time. ??

@erickm33,

Sounds like you will have to add some custom code to the theme used on the local version of your site. The Nav Menu Manager is meant for maintenance of menus, but adding those menus to a theme still requires theme development and implementation. Being a full-time WordPress developer, this is something I could assist on an hourly basis. Let me know if you would like to explore that.

Thank you,
Robert

That sounds like it goes outside the functionality provided by the Nav Menu Manager. Please do let me know when you have something to show and I could look into it for you.

The DOM ID is meant to be a single element identifier and cannot contain spaces to be valid. Additional information can be obtained at https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-id-class. Do you have a sample website where I could see your implementation in-action?

Thank you, @erickm33! Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any issues with the plugin.

I believe you submitted this issue with the wrong plugin. Nav Menu Manager isn’t translted to German yet so it doesn’t have the DE language file. You may want to submit your ticket at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/nav-menu-roles.

Good Morning @dimadin,

The Nav Menu Roles plugin is where I got my inspiration for compatibility. @helgatheviking did a great job of making her plugin compatible with other plugins and themes and has some great information in the plugin FAQs at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/nav-menu-roles/faq/. I believe your plugin would work with the same kind of treatment.

Robert

Good Evening @emangham,

I tried to add compatibility for the Nav Menu Images plugin, but the custom walker used by that plugin wasn’t built with compatibility in-mind. You may want to drop @dimadin a line to see if he would be willing to make the plugin more compatible with other plugins that use a customized Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit class. I followed a similar structure to the Nav Menu Roles plugin during early development.

I am happy to hear that the plugin is useful to you and definitely appreciate your feedback!

Thank you,
Robert
