This thread, 4th post, point (2) … ?

Wow, that did it! Yep, I’m afraid CMW does not play well with the Widget Title Links plugin.

Quick work-around for you is to (temporarily) deactivate Widget Title Links, create your new instances of CMW, then reactivate Widget Title Links (you won’t lose Widget Title Links’ settings). Once the CMW widgets are created there’s no problem, but they have to be created with Widget Title Links deactivated!

I’ll dig into it a bit further to see if I can find out exactly what is happening and if I do anything about it, but I wanted to let you know what I’d found so far…

First off, I apologise for the delayed response. (I suspect something a bit weird going on with the notification emails : yours only arrived in my inbox 8 hours ago; whereas a comment from esmi turned up this evening bang on time, yet the original comment it was in response to still hasn’t. Weird!)

Anyway, I’ve tried very hard to reproduce this, but I can’t. I’ve removed, reinstalled, removed, installed old version, upgraded, removed, reinstalled old version, re-upgraded, etc, etc – all the while creating, removing, deactivating, reactivating widgets – and still no problem. Most frustrating!

It occurs to me to ask : What version(s) of WP are you working with (3.9.1 maybe?), and is it the multi-site or standard version? And do you have any caching plugins of any sort installed?

Just so’s I’ve got it clear…

You say that you are adding items to the “menu” but that when the “menu” is saved, the extra items disappear : Does “menu” mean the actual custom menu (ie. you’re on the Appearance / Menus admin page), or are you trying to modify the CMW widget options for a large custom menu?

If it is CMW that’s causing the problem, may I ask which particular option field? Are you trying to add each of your 90+ menu items as an individual and specific Item (by “Item” here, I mean a green-ticked menu item in CMW’s “assist”)? If not, what exactly are you trying to do, and where are you trying to do it? Because I’m a bit confused about the use of “second last spot” and “last spot” : these terms seem to imply some sort of ordering capability, whereas CMW is a primarily a filter.

Sorry if I’m being a bit slow on the uptake…

Can you show me the shortcode of your widget’s settings please?
(open the widget and click an “assist” button; at the base of the Assist window is the shortcode representation of your current widget settings : copy-paste it into a post here). Do NOT alter any widget settings before doing so, or the changes will be reflected in the shortcode!

Ummm … yes, I guess so. If that’s what you really want, go for it!

Thanks for the link…

I can’t tell whether there are any items missing or not because there appears to be no other way to see the menu in question.
What I can see is 2 instances of CMW, one using a UL root, the other an OL root.
Both instances show the same 10 menu items. The OL-rooted CMW (headed “TOPICS:”) shows the 9 top-level items, and a solitary child item (below the first top-level menu item). The UL-rooted CMW (headed “LINKS:”) appears to have been output as “flat”, ie. all 10 items are show as top-level items instead of having the one child.
If this 9 top-levels plus 1 child structure does not match the structure you have built in your custom menu then please let me know what that structure should be?

Your “hueman” theme is clearing all margins and padding on UL, OL and LI tags (amongst others), and it is setting lists (UL & OL) to list-style: none outside none;. Unfortunately, there are no other CSS rules in place that match anything (by class, tag or structure) on the CMW instances, hence the lack of indentation.
Without being able to see an instance of the Custom Menu widget I can’t tell what classes it may be being given (probably by your theme) that reinstate indentation, but I suggest you look at an instance and see if using the same classes on a CMW instance will provide the indentation you’re after.

CMW does not provide any styling at all. The reason being that whatever styling I chose to supply, it would only suit maybe 1 in 1000 potential users of the widget (if I was lucky) … and anyway, that’s what themes are for.

PS: Indenting a child is simply a matter of adding a suitable rule. As an example…

.widget_custom_menu_wizard ol ul { margin-left: 2em; }
