[Feature Request] Add venues to WordPress menu editor

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reaching out here!

I suppose hiding the venue and organizer post types from nav menus was originally to just follow the same patterm used for events. The goal of which was to not overwhelm the nave menu list with a ton of event posts. This probably isn’t a concern as most sites will not have a large number of venues and organizers. It might be changed in the future.

For now, can you add a PHP snippet to expose them:

/**
 * Add WP Event Genius venues and organizers to Appearance → Menus.
 */
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', function ( $args, $post_type ) {
	$evge_menu_post_types = array( 'evge_venue', 'evge_organizer' );

	if ( ! in_array( $post_type, $evge_menu_post_types, true ) ) {
		return $args;
	}

	$args['show_in_nav_menus']    = true;
	$args['archive_in_nav_menus'] = true;

	return $args;
}, 10, 2 );

Remove the ‘evge_organizer’ part if you just want venues.

This can be added to your theme’s functions.php file or you can use a code snippet manager like WP Code.

Let me know if you need more help!

Yes that is a fair point. A note has been made for a future release to revisit this!

Glad that worked for you!
