Menu Item Types

Description

Menu Item Types makes it easy to add links to your archive pages, titles, items without URL, paragraphs or images to your navigation menus.
You can also easily override the templates and/or create your own custom elements.

Menu Item Types can be extended

You can create your own item type like this :

function register_my_custom_type(){

    $args = array(
        'slug'        => "my-custom-type",
        'icon'        => 'https://url-to-icon-file.svg',
        'label'       => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
        'field-group' => 'path/to/acf/field-group-array.php',
        'render'      => 'path/to/render/my-custom-render.php',
        'callback'    => function(){
            // Use callback for customize your item
            // you can add filter on 'mitypes_nav_menu_link_attributes' if you need
        }
    );

    mitypes_register_type( $args );
}
add_filter( 'mitypes_init', 'register_my_custom_type' );

There are already additional plugins.
You can also create your own elements like these plugins do:

• Menu Item Types — Button
• Menu Item Types — Action

Customize the plugin

// Disable Post Type Archive Metabox
add_filter( 'mitypes_has_post_type_archive_metabox', '__return_false' ) ;

// Mix Buildin and Plugin Item types in the metabox
add_filter( 'mitypes_mix_metabox_item_types', '__return_true' ) ;

// Filter Supported Item types
add_filter( 'mitypes_supported_types', function(){ return ['image']; } );

// Disable Nav Item Icons
add_filter( 'mitypes_nav_menu_items_has_icons', '__return_false' ) ;
