Workaround does not work due to changed variable names

[jojo2357]

I tried to get the plugin to work with 2024 (WP default) and pasted

do_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', $item_id, $item, $depth, $args, $id );

in wp-admin/includes/class-walker-nav-menu-checklist.php and noticed that $item_id $item $id are not in the scope of start_el with a comment that two of those names were changed circa wp 5.9.0

I couldn't get the menu to show up in wp-admin menu to config. I have used with 2021 theme some time ago and it worked great. Thanks btw :)

You shouldn't need a workaround for twenty twenty four theme. wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields is now in core. I'm not sure I understand what is happening, can you clarify?

When I install the plugin I can't find the settings where I have seen them in prior versions. Where are they? I expect them under Appearance > Menus but I see no such item.

[helgatheviking]

Yes, they should be on each menu item you see when editing a menu via appearance > menu.

If you aren't seeing them, you likely have a conflict and I would suggest switching themes and disabling plugins one at a time.

It's just now occurred to me that Appearance > Menus isn't accessible at all in the admin.... Is this the problem? Currently there's no support for the nav menus in the block editor, but I think it might be possible.

Recently I had a reason to spin up a base wp install and yes, as you mention it doesnt show up in the menu

Thank you for confirming. I hadn't realized the menu had gone away. I will have to think about how to handle that. Technically I think the block editor is customizable enough, but I'm only mid in block development so that might a lot of work.
