Managing 50-100 custom menus

  • I’ve created a website that gives info on colleges and have created a custom menu for a select few so far, but we plan on expanding to any college that users would like info on. I tinkered around with header code to make it so if you were to visit say Ohio State it pulls the custom menu for Ohio State. The problem is that these menus have a tree that contains a link to every other college (Colleges -> Pac-12/Big Ten/ACC/etc) and it is somewhat of a hassle to create them and maintain them (every time we add a new school, every school needs to have their menu updated).

    What I’m wondering is if there is some way I can pull up some file and just code in what I need or hopefully create a template that I can just dump in. I’ve read up a bit on this and to my understanding the menu structure is contained in a few different files?

    Has anyone worked with something like this before? I mean it will be possible to make the menus by hand, but I’m really hoping there is an easier way to work with these. Thanks.

    So I discovered you can find all the menu information in the wp_posts table, but I’ve barely used SQL, so it is a lot of info sitting in that database and I’m not really sure what everything means.

    Anyone have any pointers on what I could look for to find the custom menus? I’m sure if I knew what to look for, I could probably find it and figure it out.

    Still trying to figure out a way to work with this. I messed around in the wp_posts table, but with no luck. It didn’t seem like any of the menus were actually all linked together and easy to manage.

    I’m guessing I might be out of luck on this?
