WP_NAV_MENU Does not work WP 6.0

  • I will skip the part of strong language of you forcing aautomatic major update to WP 6.0 but lets get into it:

    after the update my menus stopped to work – only “Add item” instead of whole menu is shown.
    Just because of the update nothing else was done (automatically without my attention obviously).

    I am using in my own theme a “wp_nav_menu” called for a menu name.

    `wp_nav_menu( array(
    ‘menu’ => ‘Menu’,
    ‘depth’ => 5,
    ‘container’ => ‘ul’,
    ‘container_class’ => ”,
    ‘menu_class’ => ‘navbar-nav ml-auto my-2 my-lg-0 ‘,
    ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_bootstrap_navwalker::fallback’,
    ‘walker’ => new wp_bootstrap_navwalker()
    ));

    calling menu by name or by theme location completely stopped to work.

    – menu calling by name does not work, no entries
    – calling menu by theme_location no entries
    – if I delete all atributes then it returns all possible menu items ignoring created menus
    – fallback and walker itself when enabled then returns no entry

    FIXED by :
    – force downgrade to 5.9.3
    This itself does not fix this, I needed to switch to another theme 2020 and then back to my and it was back again

    Please fix this ASAP

    WordPress users have always had full control over automatic updates, ever since the feature was introduced.

    I personally test ALL core, theme, and plugin updates in a safe, staging environment before updating live sites.

    Hello, @xenoncz!

    I have the same problem. I used Underscores starter theme as well, but I couldn’t find the reason wp_nav_menu() is simply ignored by WP 6.0.

    I simply returned to 5.9.3 and the menu started to work again.

    Have you studied the problem further?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you are using ‘pre_get_posts’ hook and modifying queries on your site, that might affect the wp_nav_menu() function.

    I am not using underscores but had the same issue and solved it in a similar way mentioned here:
    https://wpml.org/forums/topic/since-update-wp-6-0-menus-are-messed-up-und-untranslatetable/

    In my case, removing one of the processes interacting with queries written in the hook solved the issue.

    This is extremely frustrating, as I have dozens of custom themed sites I developed and support, and now all of the sudden I am trapped at WP 5.9.3 in order to edit the navigation. Not a big deal for some sites, but crucial for others.

    For me, wp_nav_menu() *does* work, but I have no way to actually edit the menu, so it is frozen in whatever state it was in when WP 6.0 was installed.

    A ridiculous design decision. Following this thread in case there is more information.

    Hello!

    In my case, I was using pre_get_posts hook to hide some type of posts, as @isheik8 noted.

    I review the function and now everything is working correctly.

    Thanks for the help!

    Saúde!
