Menus Don’t Populate Anymore

Menus are no longer automatically populating with JC functionality. I’m not a super-active builder so I can’t say for sure when it died, but probably with the 5.7 update. The functions still appear in the menu builder and *look* like they’re working – you can select everything, save your changes, and they persist as values in the menu builder, but content that’s supposed to populate from the database, e.g. all posts in a given category as a submenu, just never happens.

Because my site’s live I’ve deactivated JC for now, so I can’t show you the issue, but if need be I can re-activate it and fire it up so someone can see what I mean if it isn’t clear. I’ve tried with and without the walker turned on, and I’ve tried deactivating and re-activating the JC sub plugin. I have not tried *deleting* the sub, and I don’t know if deleting/uninstalling the plugin would delete (and recreate on reinstallation) and related data tables or stored queries or what have you, thereby potentially fixing the problem automagically; I’ve got a fair bit of work into my menus and am hoping to not have to rebuild from scratch, but if that’s the only choice I’ve got I will.

Please advise if you’ve had this issue and found a solution! Thanks.

I just wanted to chime in that I am having the same issue on a fresh install using the Neve theme.

Same for me with 5.8.1
Everything was fine but now only 1 of 4 menus will populate.
How can we debug this?
Does anyone know of alternatives? Because this project seems to be abandoned. Even a paid one, no matter

I just discovered that JC stops functioning if you select a term from the taxonomy list. If you leave “All” then everything is fine. Dev, could you check for some update on the queries made from WP?

I generate menu from product categories, now all categories go to menu’s root level. The menu hierarchy is wrong, I want sub-categories show as submenu. Anyone knows how to do it?

I found a fix for using this with themes like Astra that use a customer walker posted by Roman Potashkin on Stack Exchange: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43425538/how-to-automatically-add-categories-sub-categories-in-wordpress-nav-menu
```
//Enable compatibility with theme custom menu walkers

add_filter('jcs/enable_public_walker', 'jc_disable_public_walker');

function jc_disable_public_walker($default){
    return false;
}
```
Using this Astra and works great
