Menu visible despite empty label

I found out that if I write the following in the Theme-Customiser it works, and the menuitem is hidden.

[:sv]Klubbholmen[:en][:]

But I still think that is a bug!

Thanks a lot for the report. I could not reproduce it though. 3.4.8 is not stable or well tested, I would not recommend to use it.

The bug is present in 3.4.6.5 to so I upgraded to 3.4.8 to see if it was fixed. But it was not.

I see. Can you reproduce it under a standard theme, like twenty sixteen, and with no other plugins?

Yes I can.
If you visit my site:
https://batklubb.joodit.com and https://batklubb.joodit.com/en

The menuitem Klubbholmen should not be visible in the english version.
The only plugin active is qtranslate-x.

Tell me when I can switch back to my ordinary theme and reactivate the plugins.

I see. Could you turn on “Editor Raw Mode” on page /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=qtranslate-x#advanced and see what is shown in the menu title field for “Klubbholmen”? Maybe there is a space or some other weird thing there? It should be like this: “[:sv]Klubbholmen[:en][:]” as you pointed out.

This is whats in the menu title field: [:sv]Klubbholmen[:]
And so is it in all other menuitems that is only visible in the swedish site.

One more thing!

This is my test site, but I also have a productionsite.
First I did the menu in the testsite and later on I did it in the productionsite. I edit both menustructures manually with no copying between them. And the same menuitem was wrong in both sites.

Have you tried to use “[:sv]Klubbholmen[:en][:]” in raw mode? I am running out of ideas. Since some menu items work, some don’t, and they look the same, I guess you need to find what is different. Something must be different. Since I cannot reproduce, I do not know how to proceed. Maybe backup the site in a file and send it to me?

I am a programmer by profession, not in PHP but in C#, so I am used to dig into strange problems.

Where are the menustructure stored? What table?

What is the expected syntax?
[:sv]Svensk[:en]English[:] One menu with swedish text and one with english
[:sv]Svensk[:] What is expected here? One swedish and no english or the same text for all languages?
[:sv]Svensk[:en][:] One swedish and no english
[:sv][:en]English[:] No swedish and one english

I think that the most interresting one is [:sv]Svensk[:] because that is the one I see in raw format when only the swedish text is provided. What can be expected to be shown here?

Hi Erik, menu items are posts with post_type=”nav_menu_item” in “xx_posts” table.

[:sv]Svensk[:] What is expected here? One swedish and no english or the same text for all languages?

One swedish and no english. All the same would be “Svensk” without tags. “[:sv]Svensk[:en][:]” is also swedish and no english, but “[:sv]Svensk[:en] [:]” would have space ” ” for english, which is not “empty”, I believe.

Function, which skips menu items, is “qtranxf_wp_get_nav_menu_items” in ‘qtranslate_frontend.php’. Line 141 with “if(empty($item_title))” is where empty item is supposed to be skipped.

Clone code from https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/tree/v3.4.6.6 if you wish to use GitHub. Submit pull request if you find out what needs to be changed or report via https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/contact-us/, I may not watch this thread anymore.

Good luck hunting!
Thank you very much!
