Hello there.
I have had a look all over the forum and could not see anything that would help me fix my issue.
I am trying to override one of the default wordpress widgets. Specifically the custom menu widget. A bit of background.
I have had no issues creating a new sidebar by adding it to setup.php and then placing the default cusom menu.nav widget into my sidebar. It shows fine.
However it ads styling to the widget which I am trying to get rid of. I have specified some:
'before_widget' => '<li class="footer-sitemap-section">',
'after_widget' => '</li>',
'before_title' => '<p>',
'after_title' => '</p>'
But then the custom menu/nav ads it own into the ul specifically into the li & a tag which i want to get rid of.
This is what its adding:
<li class="nav-item menu-item menu-application"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Application</a></li>
and this is how i would like it:
<li><a href="#">Application</a></li>
I want to get rid of all the classes in that li and a tag. I know this is a WordPress thing So i created my custom menu widget to override the default WordPress one:
<?php
namespace App;
/**
* Navigation Menu widget class
*
* @since 3.0.0
*/
class Updated_WP_Nav_Menu_Widget extends WP_Widget {
function __construct() {
$widget_ops = array( 'description' => __('Add a custom menu to your sidebar TEST.') );
parent::__construct( 'nav_menu', __('Custom Menu TEST'), $widget_ops );
}
function widget($args, $instance) {
// Get menu
$nav_menu = ! empty( $instance['nav_menu'] ) ? wp_get_nav_menu_object( $instance['nav_menu'] ) : false;
if ( !$nav_menu )
return;
/** This filter is documented in wp-includes/default-widgets.php */
$instance['title'] = apply_filters( 'widget_title', empty( $instance['title'] ) ? '' : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base );
echo $args['before_widget'];
if ( !empty($instance['title']) )
echo $args['before_title'] . $instance['title'] . $args['after_title'];
wp_nav_menu( array( 'fallback_cb' => '', 'menu' => $nav_menu ) );
echo $args['after_widget'];
}
function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance['title'] = strip_tags( stripslashes($new_instance['title']) );
$instance['nav_menu'] = (int) $new_instance['nav_menu'];
return $instance;
}
function form( $instance ) {
$title = isset( $instance['title'] ) ? $instance['title'] : '';
$nav_menu = isset( $instance['nav_menu'] ) ? $instance['nav_menu'] : '';
// Get menus
$menus = wp_get_nav_menus( array( 'orderby' => 'name' ) );
// If no menus exists, direct the user to go and create some.
if ( !$menus ) {
echo '<p>'. sprintf( __('No menus have been created yet. <a href="%s">Create some</a>.'), admin_url('nav-menus.php') ) .'</p>';
return;
}
?>
<p>
<label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>"><?php _e('Title:') ?></label>
<input type="text" class="widefat" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('title'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('title'); ?>" value="<?php echo $title; ?>" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('nav_menu'); ?>"><?php _e('Select Menu:'); ?></label>
<select id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('nav_menu'); ?>" name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('nav_menu'); ?>">
<option value="0"><?php _e( '— Select —' ) ?></option>
<?php
foreach ( $menus as $menu ) {
echo '<option value="' . $menu->term_id . '"'
. selected( $nav_menu, $menu->term_id, false )
. '>'. esc_html( $menu->name ) . '</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<?php
}
}
add_action('widgets_init', create_function('', 'return register_widget("Updated_WP_Nav_Menu_Widget");'));
I then added that to my resources/funtions file speifcally here:
['helpers', 'setup', 'filters', 'admin', 'walker', 'customwidgetmenu']);
When i then go to the front-end OR back-end I am greeted with:
Fatal error: Class 'App\WP_Widget' not found in /srv/www/example1.com/current/web/app/themes/TEST/app/customwidgetmenu.php on line 10

I know its sayong that the issue lies in line 10 but not sure what that is. I thought i referenced the app namespace correctly.
Sorry moved from an older version of sage (roots) theme and this one is a bit over my head.
Can any one point out what I am doing wrong? OR a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks in advanceā¦
