I am having trouble understanding this error and I’ve not come across it before, please could someone help?

I’m calling the walker by putting the following code in my header.php
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'top_menu',
'depth' => 2,
'container' => false,
'menu_class' => 'nav',
'fallback_cb' => 'wp_page_menu',
//Process nav menu using our custom nav walker
'walker' => new wp_bootstrap_navwalker())
);
?>
and registering the function in functions.php:
// Register Custom Navigation Walker
require_once('wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php');
It means that the declaration of the
start_lvl
method inwp_bootstrap_navwalker
should match the declaration of the method inWalker_Nav_Menu
. It doesn’t.VS.
Make the arguments match exactly and you should be fine.
And you should probably not use the
wp_
prefix as yours is not Core code.Your class definition line which is:
Should be modified to include the new $id field (and assign defaults to your other method parameters:
You also need to update the apply filter line to include the new $id field:
I don’t know if you’ve gotten a solution to that but, I had an error with that too and what I did was entirely different from this. The solution I had was quite straightforward (although not sure if it is conventional).
Step #1
Navigate row 172 of the “wp_bootstrap_navwalker.php” file (which should look like this)
Step #2
Change that line with the code below and you should have a working nav menu
That is about it… I do hope it works for you!
