* Okay, I have more problems for anyone who is capable of assisting.
* The above code will either allow me to append the new menu items on the front
or back of the menu and only on the top level. This suggests the need to re-work
the walker to go back through and sort the menu once again.
* Furthermore, the only method I can find for setting the parent ID (thus allowing
new submenu items) is by using the `wp_update_nav_menu_item` function. However,
this only results in the new menu items being listed as “pending” on the admin
GUI menu interface.
* So my issues are the following:
- Need to add dynamic links/buttons to the menu
- Need ability to sort these new links
- Need ability to place certain links as submenu
* Any help would be much appreciated!

* I stumbled upon the `wp_nav_menu_items` filter as I was nosing through the `Walker_Nav_Menu`
and realized that this could be used to add dynamic menu options. It’s not pretty
and I’m sure I have done something screwy with the PHP/HTML mix, but it seems
to work. So for those who are looking to do something similar, here ya go:
* ```
function new_nav_menu_items($items) {
global $user_login;
$dynamic_link = 'Link 1 Text';
$items = $dynamic_link . $items;
return $items;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'new_nav_menu_items' );
```

* Ohh… It didn’t even dawn on me that I could create a template.
* All I did was add the template identification code to the top of my previously
existing my_file.php and simply pointed the appropriate blank page in the Admin
section to this proper template.
* A little silly if you ask me, but it works.

* I suppose I’m trying to figure out a way to have either of the following code
effects occur upon clicking the “Register” link:
* ```
get_template_part('register');
include('/register.php');
```

* I’m currently involved in development on a localhost so there are no public pages
available at this point.
* My solution at this point has been to simply create a page from the admin screen
with the desired content within, but this limits my ability to add code when
applicable.
* The problem is not with the `network_home_url()` (and yes, this is multisite),
but with the inability to have the index.php direct to the href link. For example,
when I attempt to link to a separate file: `Register` I get a 404 error. I am able to bring up this file
using an `include()` call, but this is supposed to be a link, not an include.
* Am I even making sense?

* The first step is to ensure within your admin panel under Settings -> Reading,
the Front Page Displays option is set to “Your latest posts” rather than “A static
page”.

* Good looking sites.
* You can change your code to the following and get the same function if you care
about keeping your code as short as possible:
* ```
switch_to_blog(1);
echo theme_get_menu(array(
'source' => theme_get_option('theme_menu_source'),
'depth' => theme_get_option('theme_menu_depth'),
'menu' => 'primary-menu',
'class' => 'art-hmenu'
));
restore_current_blog();
```

* I’ve been messing with this sort of issue for pretty much the whole day and I
think I have figured out how to create a basic menu for each “child” site based
on one “master” menu on the main site (or even any other site you choose to place
it).
* It might take us a bit of hashing to get it to work right because I am in the
infancy of the operation, but I’m pleased with my results so far.
* The key is to utilize the same underlying theme for all sites (which it appears
you are doing to “brand” the child sites as I am). I personally like to use two
custom menus: public-menu and user-menu. Obviously one is for logged in users
and the other is for anonymous users.
* What we need to do is tell each child site where to look as it builds its menu
structure. I’m sure you have discovered that even if you name all the menus on
each child site the same, it creates its own instance of that menu (which defaults
to blank). As a caveat, I have been messing around with changing the default
structure of the menus as well, but haven’t had much luck.
* Anyway, in the header when you call your custom menu, add a `switch_to_blog`
call in before you load the menu. This will make the server call up the same
menu on all child sites. The unfortunate part is that the user then is unable
to add new menu options or make changes. I’m still working on that part. The
cool part is that the child sites aren’t required to have any menus defined at
all.
* Here is the code I have in my header:
* ```
true,
'theme_location' => 'user-menu',
'container_class' => 'nav-center'
));
restore_current_blog();
} else {
switch_to_blog(1);
wp_nav_menu(array(
'echo' => true,
'theme_location' => 'public-menu',
'container_class' => 'nav-center'
));
restore_current_blog();
} ?>
```
* Does this help?

* Caveat:
* It seems that the `wp_ms_posts` database does not get updated as frequently as
the `wp_v_posts` database? Or perhaps I messed up my loading function as I’ve
been playing with all of the innards? Regardless, switching `wp_ms_posts` to `
wp_v_posts` seems to work better. Feedback on whether this is just my site or
everyone’s would be much appreciated.
* I also noticed that the links were not working correctly. Line 85 needs to be
adjusted as follows:
`switch_to_blog($post->blog_id);`

* I just got to thinking, the enqueue function references a JS file located at “/
js/login.js”. We are creating a multisite network and have been doing much of
the testing on one of the “child” sites. This means the function was looking
in the wrong directory for the JS file since the architecture is set up as [http://mysite.com/child/](http://mysite.com/child/)
and the JS file is located at [http://mysite.com/js/login.js](http://mysite.com/js/login.js).
* For those with the same stupid hat on as me, be sure to include a “../” in front
of url references when working with multisite installations! (Otherwise, the
code is just fine.)
* New line in function should be:
* `get_template_directory_uri() . '../js/login.js',`
