UltimateMember Short Tags in Menu #2648

Open chris26237 opened 4 years ago

chris26237 commented 4 years ago

I am using Ultimate Member on my site and they have instructions on how to use short tags to the WP Menu. However, when I add these short tags ({first_name} {last_name}) into a menu item, they are not carried over through my Calisto theme. Only the labels are visible, not the data within them. I checked the user profile to ensure that there is a first name and last name for the user - that's evident.

See this thread in the RocketTheme Forum: https://rockettheme.com/forum/wordpress-theme-callisto/284187-ultimatemember-short-tags-in-menu?limitstart=0#1426851

Hmm.....more background..... When I switch back to using the WP "Twenty Nineteen" theme, the elements are rendered as expected. But, reverting to Gantry/RocketTheme, the problem appears. So, the menu is actually in WP. I am not manipulating the menu in Gantry/RocketTheme.

The UM team pointed me to this code for your reference:

Please tell to Rocket Theme developers to check the code in the link: https://github.com/ultimatemember/ultimatemember/blob/master/includes/core/um-filters-navmenu.php#L12-L24

That’s how UM append the user profile names with short tags.

Hope that helps.

I'm afraid that this issue may be caused because of the menus are not being generated by WP, but custom code in Gantry itself -- to maintain compatibility with the other CMSes.

We are currently testing our WP menu improvements in Gantry 5.5, so I will assign this issue to that release.

FYI....this is still an issue. 5.4.37
