Menubar › PHP code question

Hi there,
I’ve run into a snag with my menu and have no clue how to fix it.
I’m setting up a menu that looks something like this:
Home > Conditions > Name of Condition
My goal is to use PHP for the “Name of Condition” portion so that the name of the condition automatically changes depending on the page the visitor is on. So if someone’s on the Fibromyalgia page, the menu would show as:
Home > Conditions > Fibromyalgia
And if someone’s on the Long COVID page, it would automatically change to:
Home > Conditions > Long COVID
etc.
For the “Name of Condition” portion of the menu, I used PHP as the type, then under the PHP code I put:
the_title();
The page title does show up as part of the menu, but for some reason, it shows up three times:
Home > Conditions > FibromyalgiaFibromyalgiaFibromyalgia
I’ve been looking through troubleshooting options all afternoon and couldn’t be more stumped.
I’ve tried wp_title(); and the_title(); and single_post_title(); etc. I’m not using an SEO plugin, so that can’t be the conflict. I turned off all plugins except the essentials and it didn’t solve the problem. I’m also struggling to find multiple/duplicate title tags within my theme files.
Any guidance would be beyond appreciated! I’m in love with your plugin. 🙂

Hi Krissy,
Try copying this code:
return array (get_the_title(), '#');into the PHP code textarea of your menu item.
Please let me know if this works for you!
OMG IT WORKED! You’re my hero. Is there a way to make the array just show the title and not become a link, since technically they’re already on the page?
Thanks for everything!
Unfortunately the PHP menu item can only produce a link, but you can try this:
return array (get_the_title(), 'javascript:void(0)');so the link does nothing if clicked, while the previous code caused a jump to the top of the page.
Amazing! This is perfect. Thanks so much for your help. 🙂
You are welcome!
