Title: Plugin breaks the menu Last modified: March 26, 2018 --- # Plugin breaks the menu * Resolved [simco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simco/) * (@simco) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/) * I tried your plugin hoping it would provide collapsing capabilities (which it did) but when the plugin is active it won’t allow me to add new items to the menus. It just grinds and grinds.

Is it possible that override is causing the issue? When I first built this plugin, I was doing more custom theme development, but many purchased themes have their over nav menu edit walker built-in. Are you using a purchased theme for the site in question? * Because of compatibility issues with purchased themes and some plugins, I created a plugin for just the collapse/expand functionality which uses JavaScript instead of a custom nav menu edit walker: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-collapse/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-collapse/). * Thank you, Robert - This reply was modified 8 years, 2 months ago by [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/). * Plugin Author [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/) * (@rnoakes3rd) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10116988) * That being said, the Nav Menu Manager is still fully maintained. I did some testing on sites that I use the plugin on and don’t see any infinite spinning occurring when trying to add new menu items. * Thread Starter [simco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simco/) * (@simco) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10116995) * Robert – * I’m using the Divi theme by Elegant Themes. The theme doesn’t have any specific menus associated with it and it relies on the standard WP menu creator and manager as far as I know. * Plugin Author [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/) * (@rnoakes3rd) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117017) * Oddly enough, I just did a Divi implementation a couple weeks ago. I used the Nav Menu Collapse plugin instead of the Nav Menu Manager as I do with all purchased themes. If all you are looking for is collapse/expand functionality, the Nav Menu Collapse plugin is the way to go. * I tried activating Nav Menu Manager on the Divi site I built and adding new menu items still works fine. Which other plugins are you running on the site? * Thread Starter [simco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simco/) * (@simco) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117039) * Here’s a list of active plugins: * Advanced Woo Search All In One Security Child Theme Configurator WooCommerce WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing Wordpress Importer * And, I added the Nav Menu Collapse and that appears to work fine. The Nav Menu Manager does collapse the menus as well but won’t let me add anything to the menus. If you’d like I can do a screen capture video so you can see what’s happening. * Plugin Author [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/) * (@rnoakes3rd) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117047) * Disregard, I activated a custom field and do indeed see the infinite spin. Luckily that site is on WPEngine, so I checked the error log and found the issue… I recently added a help class to the plugin to keep help tab functionality more centralized, but that class has an issue during the AJAX call. I will post a fix later today. * Thread Starter [simco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simco/) * (@simco) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117057) * Awesome! I feel like I helped accomplish something today. * Plugin Author [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/) * (@rnoakes3rd) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117065) * Hehe, I do appreciate you pointing this one out 🙂 * Thread Starter [simco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simco/) * (@simco) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117170) * No problem, I appreciate the efforts that go into developing these things. * Plugin Author [Robert Noakes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rnoakes3rd/) * (@rnoakes3rd) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-the-menu/#post-10117242) * 1.7.2 released which fixes this issue. It even works well with the Divi theme since that one doesn’t add a custom nav menu edit walker. * Thank you again for submitting the issue! Don’t hesitate to let me know if anything else comes up with this or Nav Menu Collapse.
