wp_get_nav_menu_items() WP 1.0

Retrieves all menu items of a navigation menu.

Note: Most arguments passed to the $args parameter – save for 'output_key' – are specifically for retrieving nav_menu_item posts from get_posts() and may only indirectly affect the ultimate ordering and content of the resulting nav menu items that get returned from this function.

Return

false/Array. $items Array of menu items, otherwise false.

Usage

wp_get_nav_menu_items( $menu, $args );

$menu(int/string/WP_Term) (required)

Menu ID, slug, name, or object.

$args(array)

Arguments to pass to get_posts().

• $order (string)
  How to order nav menu items as queried with get_posts(). Will be ignored if 'output' is ARRAY_A.
  Default: 'ASC'

• $orderby (string)
  Field to order menu items by as retrieved from get_posts(). Supply an orderby field via 'output_key' to affect the output order of nav menu items.
  Default: 'menu_order'

• $post_type (string)
  Menu items post type.
  Default: 'nav_menu_item'

• $post_status (string)
  Menu items post status.
  Default: 'publish'

• $output (string)
  How to order outputted menu items.
  Default: ARRAY_A

• $output_key (string)
  Key to use for ordering the actual menu items that get returned. Note that that is not a get_posts() argument and will only affect output of menu items processed in this function.
  Default: 'menu_order'

• $nopaging (true/false)
  Whether to retrieve all menu items (true) or paginate (false).
  Default: true

Default: array()

Notes

• Static. Array. $fetched
