HI there,

I want to list all the menus from current language.
For example, I have a English-French bilingual site and I have 3 menus in total.
There are 2 English menus & 1 French menu.

(1) Primary Menu <- EN
(2) Quick Links <- EN
(3) Primary Menu French <- FR

Right now, I am able to list all of the menus, however, I only want the ones from the current language. If I am on the English side, it should list all the English Menus (Primary Menu + Quick Links), or if I am on the French side, it should list all the French Menus (Primary Menu French).

Below is the code that I'm using to list the menus:

$menus = wp_get_nav_menus();
foreach( $menus as $menu){
echo $menu->name."<br>";
}

How can I adjust the code above to display menus only from the current language?

Thanks, Rose

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

This needs some customization.
I am checking with the team.
I will update you once we find something.

Hi,

wp_get_nav_menus() is designed to get all menus.

Pass menus to 

wp_nav_menu()

function and WPML will display the translated menu.

Hi,

I've tried using ' wp_nav_menu()', but it's not retrieving all the menu from a specific language. I normally use this to display a specific menu, however, I want to retrieve all the menu name/or slug from a certain language. If I am on the English side, it should list all the English menu names (such as Primary Menu, Quick Links), but it isn't.

I've used this code below, and it's returning NULL.
$menus = wp_nav_menu();
var_dump($menus);

Is it possible to retrieve all the menu names/or slugs from the current language?

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't want to display a specific menu, but want to list ALL the menu names from the current language. For example, I have a English-French bilingual site and I have 3 menus in total. There are 2 English menus & 1 French menu.

(1) Primary Menu <- EN
(2) Quick Links <- EN
(3) Primary Menu French <- FR

I want to add a piece of code to the template that list ALL the English menus (the name or slug) when I am on the English side (which are Primary Menu & Quick Links ). When I am on the French side, it should list ALL the French menus (which is Primary Menu French ). However, wp_nav_menu() doesn't do this, as this code displays a specific navigation menu.

Thanks

Hi,

There is no such function.

All the menus are there you just need to filter the data using WPML API,

Use this wrapper function

function wpml_wp_get_nav_menus() {
    $allMenus = wp_get_nav_menus();
    $menusCurrentLang = [];
    
    if (!empty($allMenus)) {
	foreach ($allMenus as $menu) {
	    $translatedMenuID = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $menu->term_id, 'nav_menu', false );
	    if ($translatedMenuID == $menu->term_id) {
		$menusCurrentLang[$translatedMenuID] = $menu;
	    }
	}
    }
    
    return array_values($menusCurrentLang);
}

And call it

wpml_wp_get_nav_menus();

instead of 

wp_get_nav_menus();

Hopefully, this will fix your issue.
