How do I add custom fields to a specific menu?

For example, I have menu "Primary" with ID 13. How do I run the wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields hook only if ID matches the currently selected menu?

I tried getting the ID from the $id parameter of the hook, but it always returns 0. I'm trying to check the ID like this:

function add_menu_field( $item_id, $item, $depth, $args, $id ) {
    var_dump( $id );
}

add_action( 'wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields', 'add_menu_field', 10, 5 );

This returns int(0) but my nav menu ID is 13. Am I using this hook incorrectly, or is there another way to get the ID? My goal is to put custom fields on a specific nav by checking the ID.

Thanks for any help!

I noticed when creating a fresh site block appender button looks cleaner than my other site. This is a fresh site:

This is my other site (big rectangle button):

I disabled all plugins and switched theme to twenty-twenty to test. Still looks wrong:

I made sure no plugins are active, no mu-plugins, no additional CSS, and switched to twenty-twenty-three. When I create post, it still looks like the rectangle button. Am I missing something that would make it look like that?

Thanks!

I made a plugin using default "todo-list" WordPress provides using npx @wordpress/create-block todo-list. Is there a way to convert to work with multiple blocks?

Basically I built "todo-list" as default, then made a new directory blocks/todo-list and moved src/build folders into there. Then edited todo-list.php register_block_type directory from /build to /blocks/todo-list/build. Then updated package.json start/build scripts to:

"build": "wp-scripts build blocks/todo-list/src/index.js --output-path=blocks/todo-list/build",
"start": "wp-scripts start blocks/todo-list/src/index.js --output-path=blocks/todo-list/build"

The file structure would be:

- blocks
  - todo-list
    - build
    - src
  - block-2
    - build
    - src
- node_modules
- package-lock.json
- package.json
- readme.txt
- todo-list.php

I did npm run build and don't see Todo List as a block. I didn't add a block-2 yet, but that would be it. Can this structure work?

Edit: Figured it out and answered below.

I edited the start/build scripts in package.json to this and it works.

"build": "wp-scripts build --webpack-src-dir=block/post-type-register/src --output-path=block/post-type-register/build",
"start": "wp-scripts start --webpack-src-dir=block/post-type-register/src --output-path=block/post-type-register/build"

I want to add a table after the_content with a hook, but it's adding <p> tags in certain areas. This is a plugin, I don't want to remove <p> tags from all the_content, just the table I'm trying to add.

Here's an example, but my table is bigger and inside it's adding p tags in different spots.

function addTable( $content ) {
  $table = '<table><tbody><tr><td>Example html here</td></tr></tbody></table>';

  $content .= $table;

  return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'addTable', 20 );

Someone asked this in 2012, no answer but I'm trying to do the same thing: Adding a form at the end of the content

I do not want to remove <p> tags from a theme's entire blog post, only the content I am appending. In this case, I'm appending a table.

Is there a way to disable the formatting for only the content I'm appending? Otherwise, how is it possible in WordPress to attach a form or table to a post with hooks without it adding formatting?

Try wrapping the button in a PHP if statement that checks if the current user has administrator privelages, like this:

<?php if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) : ?>

    <a href="#">Your Button</a>

<?php endif; ?>

This Wordpress Codex link explains how to check for administrator privileges.

Also, for a 1-liner this is the same thing:

<?php if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) { echo '<a href="#">Button</a>'; } ?>

DO NOT USE is_admin() for this as stated here. That function checks if you're in the dashboard, not for the privelages you are looking for.

My Wordpress site goes looking for an archive page if I append a year after the URL.

For example: http:/mysiteurl.com/my-site/2018. If there are posts from this year, it ends up redirecting to index.php for some reason. If there are no posts from that year, it goes to 404 page which is what I want. For example: http:/mysiteurl.com/my-site/2014 goes to a 404 page because there are no posts from that year, which is what I want.

My permalink structure is set to Post name which is like this http:/mysiteurl.com/my-site/sample-post/. So typing a year after the URL should display a 404 page, not show me archives.

Why is this happening?

Both are using WordPress v6.1.1

Thanks. Is there a way to debug why it's not showing? I pointed register_block_type to new build path, and don't see any console errors, but no block.

@TomJNowell Thanks I updated my question. I think I tried 10 already, but I'll try different numbers, not sure if that's it.

2020-11-15T00:54:41Z

@SallyCJ Yes but how can I compare $id if it always returns 0.

2018-05-07T05:21:20Z

@KrzysiekDróżdż You're right! I updated my answer, and Wordpress Codex link.

2018-05-07T04:52:03Z

This works! I don't know why it does that when I set my permalink structure to "Post name". I thought if there's no page or post named "2018" then it should show the 404 page. Thanks for the help! (also I have registered some Custom Post Types if that makes a difference but they all have has_archive => false)
