Menu in back end

Currently, no.

// exclude items via filter instead of via custom Walker
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
	add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items', array( $this, 'exclude_menu_items' ) );
}

I assumed that NMR would have negative consequences when building the menus so I skipped the admin side altogether. If you play around with that conditional and find that it doesn’t… or if you find a more specific conditional then send a pull request to: https://github.com/helgatheviking/nav-menu-roles

hi, thanks, ive tested and it doesnt cause any issues with my setup. The menu workd perfectly. Ive never done a pull request on GitHub, but ill give it a go.

Not even on the appearance>menus page? That was the only place I was thinking of. I was worried about an item marked as for logged out only becoming completely inaccessible.

oh, just tested the logged out users and the item does disappear. Im not using the ‘logged out users’ for any of my menus as i only need the ‘by role’ checkbox, so thats why i didnt see any problems.

Where/how are you adding this menu to the backend?

Im using a plugin to add a Jquery Menu which is a side menu that appears before the front-end pages and back-end pages. This uses the wordpress menu editor (wp_nav_menu) to control what is displayed. Basically i have created a menu which uses front end pages and back end page links so i can navigate both the back-end and front-end of the website and cross over between them seamlessly. Hop im making sense.

I think I get it, but I can’t think of any way to target your custom menus and not mess up the menu editor itself. If you can think of something, I’m open to it.

ill take a look and see if i can target it.
