BREADCRUMBS:
Here is a breadcrumbs function that work with the hierarchy of your menu. Add this to your theme's 'functions.php'.
function my_menu_breadcrumb($theme_location, $separator = ' > ') {
$locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
if ( isset( $locations[ $theme_location ] ) ) {
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $theme_location ] );
$menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);
_wp_menu_item_classes_by_context( $menu_items );
$breadcrumbs = array();
foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) {
if ($menu_item->current) {
$breadcrumbs[] = "<span title=\"{$menu_item->title}\">{$menu_item->title}</span>";
}
else if ($menu_item->current_item_ancestor) {
$breadcrumbs[] = "<a href=\"{$menu_item->url}\" title=\"{$menu_item->title}\">{$menu_item->title}</a>";
}
}
echo implode($separator, $breadcrumbs);
}
}
You can then call as <?php my_menu_breadcrumb('header-menu'); ?>
where 'header-menu' is the menu location name. In the loop, $menu_item->title
will return page title and $menu_item->url
it's URL.
PARENT MENU TITLE:
Here is the function to get parent menu item title(s) of current page - add this to your theme's 'functions.php'.
function my_menu_parent($theme_location) {
$locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
if ( isset( $locations[ $theme_location ] ) ) {
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $theme_location ] );
$menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);
_wp_menu_item_classes_by_context( $menu_items );
$breadcrumbs = array();
foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) {
if ($menu_item->current_item_ancestor) {
$breadcrumbs[] = $menu_item->title;
}
}
return $breadcrumbs;
}
}
You can then call as below where 'header-menu' is the menu location name.
$parentitems = my_menu_parent( 'header-menu' );
foreach ( $parentitems as $parentitem ) {
echo $parentitem."<br>";
}
