Problem: The client is using a custom function to add menu items to a WordPress menu based on user login status. However, when adding the WPML language switcher, the custom menu items appear after the language switcher instead of before it. Solution: We recommend modifying the function to ensure that the custom menu items appear before the WPML language switcher. You can use the following code:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_custom_menu_items_before_wpml', 10, 2);<br />function add_custom_menu_items_before_wpml($items, $args) {<br /> // Your new menu item(s)<br /> if (is_user_logged_in()) {<br /> $custom_items = '<li><a href="' . esc_html_x('/conta/', 'Botão no menu de navegação URL', 'lwp') . '">' . esc_html_x('Conta ', 'Botão no menu de navegação', 'lwp') . '</a> </li>';<br /> $custom_items .= '<li><a href="' . wp_logout_url() . '">' . esc_html_x('Sair ', 'Botão no menu de navegação', 'lwp') . '</a> </li>';<br /> } else {<br /> $custom_items = '<li><a href="' . wp_registration_url() . '">' . esc_html_x('Registar ', 'Botão no menu de navegação', 'lwp') . '</a> </li>';<br /> $custom_items .= '<li><a href="' . esc_html_x('/conta/', 'Botão no menu de navegação URL', 'lwp') . '">' . esc_html_x('Entrar ', 'Botão no menu de navegação', 'lwp') . '</a> </li>';<br /> }<br /> // Find the WPML language switcher and insert before it<br /> $pattern = '/(<li[^>]*class="[^"]*menu-item-wpml-ls[^"]*"[^>]*>)/i';<br /> if (preg_match($pattern, $items, $matches)) {<br /> $items = preg_replace($pattern, $custom_items + $matches[1], $items, 1);<br /> } else {<br /> // Fallback if language switcher not found — append instead<br /> $items += $custom_items;<br /> }<br /> return $items;<br />}
