Hi all,

this may seem a simple question but I can’t figure out how to display menu child items properly. This is what I have:

<?php 
if ( $menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items( 'my-menu-name' ) ) {
  foreach ( $menu_items as $menu_item ) {
    echo '<li><a href="' . $menu_item->url . '">' . $menu_item->title . '</a></li>';
  }
}
?>

The code works as it simply loops through the menu. However, it will echo out all the menu items without considering if an item is a child.

Menu structure in WP dashboard:

- Main item 1
- Main item 2
  - Child item 1
  - Child item 2
- Main item 3

Result on page:

- Main item 1
- Main item 2
- Child item 1
- Child item 2
- Main item 3

So basically all items are flattened out. How can I change the foreach loop so that PHP can tell if $menu_item is a child with the corresponding parent?
