    Hi everyone,

    Hope your doing well. First of all this plugin is awesome but having an issue where I can query the first 100+ of just about any data but for querying menus I can only get up to ten items at a time. Is this a good ole’ wordpress limit? If yes, is there a workaround?

    This worked perfectly for posts but not the menus: https://www.devtwins.com/blog/wpgraphql-increase-post-limit

    Looking forward to your response(s).

    Hi again,

    I managed to find a workaround and thought I’d share it with the community.

    If anyone else has any suggestion to final solution or alternative feel free to share it.

    Main menu items will be managed by WordPress Backend > Appearance > Menus and all remaining items I have created a parent page and sub-pages assigned to parent with specific keywords assigned to parent/sub pages.

    From there I created the following sample query which works for me

    {
  pages(
    where: {search: "random keyword", parent: "1", orderby: {field: MENU_ORDER, order: DESC}}
    first: 11
  ) {
    nodes {
      title
      parentId
      slug
    }
  }
}

    This will query 10+ pages and return page title, parentid and slug which is perfect for my case use in making a nav menu with more than ten items.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Edit: After replying, looked deeper into my previous queries and found a much more easier solution.

    See query below:

    query graballmenuitems {
  menus(where: {id: 1}) {
    edges {
      node {
        menuItems(first: 11) {
          edges {
            node {
              label
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    proper query 

    query graballmenuitems {
  menus(where: {id: 32}) {
    edges {
      node {
        menuItems(first: 11) {
          edges {
            node {
              label
              uri
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
