Only have second or three level

Hello Δημήτρης,

By default the category widget will limit the levels to 3, however you may change this to 10 by adding the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/category/levels', function() { return 10; });

If you prefer not to use a filter, you may instead use the “Always display child categories” option which lets you chose the levels of categories to display.

For the issue with accordions, I see the example menu only has 1 level of menu items. For accordions to function, the menu must have at least 2 levels of menu items. Otherwise, it won’t have anything to open or close.

If you would like to make your existing navigation menu an accordion menu, you may use the following steps:

1. Add a new “Custom Links” to your existing menu.
   1. Give it a “#” URL which will prevent it from sending the user to a new page.
   2. Set the link text to something descriptive like “Related Content” or “Menu.
2. Move all existing menu items under the new item.
3. In the widget settings check the box marked, “Include highest level parent in accordion”.

This will display your custom link as the top level parent and have all the existing menu items within an accordion.

Have a great day!

Hi Δημήτρης,

This may be accomplished with the following changes:

1. Select the same menu showing in your header in the existing “Advanced Sidebar Navigation Menu” widget.
2. Check the “Display the current item’s section only” widget option.

Add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:

use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Nav_Menu\Item; use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Nav_Menu\Objects; add_action( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/navigation/objects/parse-hierarchy', function ( array $hierarchy, $current, Objects $objects, array $menu_items ) { /** @var false|Item $current */ if ( $current ) { if ( empty( $objects->hierarchy[ $current->get_id() ] ) ) { // Remove all non siblings from the hierarchy. $objects->hierarchy = array_intersect_key( $objects->hierarchy, [ $current->menu_item_parent => true ] ); // Set the current menu item's id to parent of current menu item. $current->get_menu_item()->ID = $current->menu_item_parent; $exclude = $current->menu_item_parent; } else { // Remove all non direct children from the hierarchy. $objects->hierarchy = array_intersect_key( $objects->hierarchy, [ $current->get_id() => true ] ); $exclude = $current->get_id(); } // Make current item the top level item. $current->menu_item_parent = 0; // Make all menu items top level since the current parent is excluded. array_walk( $menu_items, function ( Item $item ) { $item->menu_item_parent = 0; } ); // Exclude the current menu item or force parent of current menu item. add_filter( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/navigation/objects/excluded', function ( $ids ) use ( $exclude ) { $ids[] = (int) $exclude; return $ids; } ); } else { $objects->hierarchy = []; } }, 10, 4 );

This will adjust the widget as follows:

1. The menu will only display a single level of items.
2. If the current item has children, the menu will include the current items children only.
3. If the current item does not have children, the menu will display the current item and it’s siblings only.
4. If the current item does not exist in the menu, the menu will not display.

Have a great day!

Good Morning Δημήτρης,

It appears the sidebar widget may be using a different menu than the one which is shown in the header of the site. Please select the same menu which is shown in the header of the site for the filters to start working.

Have a great day!

Hi Δημήτρης,

Are you requesting the menu show 2 levels instead of just the bottom level? Using your screenshot as an example, if a user is viewing any of the the KEOAAIO or ENOTHTA pages, the menu would show all of the KEOAAIO and ENOTHTA pages?

Hi Δημήτρης,

This series of filters will limit the menu to display the current item’s siblings and the first level of it’s children. When on the bottom level, the current item’s parent, the parent’s siblings, and the current item’s siblings will display. The menu will always be 2 or less levels.

For this to work, you must:

1. Uncheck the widget option “Display the current item’s section only”.
2. Remove the filters we provided you earlier.

use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Nav_Menu\Item; use Advanced_Sidebar_Menu\Nav_Menu\Objects; add_action( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/navigation/render', function () { add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'asm_siblings_and_first_level_children', 11 ); } ); add_action( 'advanced-sidebar-menu/menus/navigation-menu/render/after', function () { remove_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'asm_siblings_and_first_level_children', 11 ); } ); function asm_siblings_and_first_level_children( array $menu_items ) { $objects = Objects::factory( $menu_items ); $current = $objects->get_current_item(); if ( $current ) { // On the bottom level we use the parent of the current item as the current item. if ( empty( $objects->hierarchy[ $current->get_id() ] ) ) { $parent = $current->get_parent(); if ( $parent ) { $current = $parent; } } // Remove all non siblings and children from items. $objects->menu_items = array_filter( $objects->menu_items, function ( Item $item ) use ( $current ) { if ( (int) $item->menu_item_parent === (int) $current->menu_item_parent && $item->get_id() !== $current->get_id() ) { // Make any item on the same level as the current item a top level parent. $item->menu_item_parent = 0; return true; } // Include the current item and any children of the current item. return ( $item->get_id() === $current->get_id() || (int) $item->menu_item_parent === (int) $current->get_id() ); } ); // We set the current item last so we don't break conditionals. $current->menu_item_parent = 0; return $objects->flatten(); } return []; }
