    Hi there,

    I’ve seen a lot of those questions here, but none of them worked for me or weren’t suitable for my project.

    We got 3 menus which can be selected to be displayed on pages. To do that, I’ve created a custom field with Advanced Custom Fields and written the separate IDs of the 3 menus as options. So far, so good.
    But when it comes to changing the menu, it just won’t work. I’ve edited the “helper-main-menu.php” and added the header ID to the arguments before calling wp_nav_menu:

    if(get_field('header_selection')) {
			$headerID = get_field('header_selection');
			$args = array(
					'menu' 				=> $headerID, 
					'theme_location'	=> $avia_theme_location,
					'menu_id' 			=> $avia_menu_class,
					'menu_class'		=> 'menu av-main-nav',
					'container_class'	=> $avia_menu_class.' av-main-nav-wrap'.$icon_beside,
					'items_wrap'        => '<ul role="menu" class="%2$s" id="%1$s">%3$s</ul>',
					'fallback_cb' 		=> 'avia_fallback_menu',
					'echo' 				=>	false,
					'walker' 			=> new avia_responsive_mega_menu()
			);
} else { ..(args without menu-id).. }

    But it just wont display the right menu. If I remove “theme_location”, it will work, but the styling is way off and it isn’t really working perfectly.

    As you can see, I’m not afraid to code, so please don’t suggest other plugins. I really need that to be done manually with ACF.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    Here is how I would do:
    – Choose Select type and add 4 choices including a default one which would be your global menu – https://imgur.com/a/J6qcq9Q
    – Add following code to bottom of Functions.php file of child theme

    
add_filter("wp_nav_menu_args", "my_custom_wp_nav_menu_args");
function my_custom_wp_nav_menu_args($args = "")
{
    if ($args["theme_location"] === "avia") {
        if (get_field("menu_selector") == "menu_1") {
            $args["menu"] = "Menu1";
        } elseif (get_field("menu_selector") == "menu_2") {
            $args["menu"] = "Menu2";
        } elseif (get_field("menu_selector") == "menu_3") {
            $args["menu"] = "Menu3";
        } else {
            $args["menu"] = "Main Menu";
        }
    }
    return $args;
}

    Menu1, Menu2 and Menu3 are the menu names created in Appearance > Menus

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Hi Yigit,

    thank you for your snippet, this is cleaner than overwriting the helper file.
    I’ve noticed that this works if mega menu isn’t active. Do you know if I can get it to work the same way with mega menu as active plugin?

    Hi,

    Are you using Enfold’s mega menu or a separate plugin? I just chose to display one of the menu items as a mega menu in one of the menus I created but it works fine on my end.

    Best regards,

    OK I think I got it..
    I’ve added a new location with Mega Menu which created a theme_location, and based of my selection I change the theme_location and the menu and now it works.

    Thanks for your help!
