How to Adress the menu-name of a menu?

  • Hello,
    I want to do a bilingual page and want to change the ‘categories’-nav-tab to the name of the menu (set in admin area) – clue: it should change when I change the language, actually the menu changes right, but the ‘categories’ not

    Supernova: top-most-navigation.php (template-parts/top-most-navigation.php) <<< there it is – HIGHLIGHTED

    <div class="sup-right-menu">
			<div class="sup-nav-label">
				<span class="sup-icon-menu"></span>
				<span class="sup-nav-name"><?php /// I NEED TO WRITE THE RIGHT STUFF HERE /// ?></span>
			</div>
			<nav id="sup-cat-nav" class="sup-menu-container" role="navigation">
				<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Header_Cat', 'menu_id' => 'sup-right-nav' , 'depth' => 1 ) ); ?>
			</nav>
		</div>

    I tried $nav_menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object(25); echo $nav_menu->name; <- 25 is one of these two menus, but I don’t know how to adress the “higher instance”

  • Why not add additional control under Display > Display Navigation in customizer.

    By registering like this.

    if ( class_exists( 'Nova' ) ) {
	Nova::add_field( 'supernova', array(
		'section'  => 'display_nav_section',
		'settings' => 'sup_cat_menu_name',
		'label'    => esc_attr__( 'Category Menu Name', 'supernova' ),
		'type'     => 'text',
		'priority' => 1,
		'default'  => __( 'Categories', 'supernova' ),
	) );
}

    and then get the value using

    get_theme_mod( 'sup_cat_menu_name' )

    considering you are using a child theme.

    Thank you for your help, but I am not the best at php :/

    I placed the first code in custom-functions.php – nothing showed up in Display > Display Navigation (should it be a special position in the code or another file?)

    and for the second code; so the line is:

    <span class="sup-nav-name"><?php get_theme_mod( 'sup_cat_menu_name' ) ?></span>
    ?

    I use supernova.2.0.61

    Okay, I created the child theme for you which contains the feature you requested. https://supernovathemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/supernova-child.zip

    You would need to adjust the css if you change category menu text.

    oh wow, thank you very much for creating this for me :), but actually it sets a name which is not able to change when I change the language – is it possible to set the name of the menu I created in admin area?

    for example:
    en-menu-name: exhibitions
    de-menu-name: Ausstellungen

    I created two menus which change due to language-selection

    If you can explain in more detail, may be I can help you. How do you change the language? I think using some plugin? Do you have the ability to change two different menus for different languages?

    Yeah, I change the language with the plugin “polylang” it changes all content which has two (or more) options of language, so it also changes menus and this is why I want to set the name of the menu (the name I gave the menu in the menu-tab in the admin-panel) as headline, so it would change also – I just need to adress the actual used menu
