Menu Item Types

Description

Menu Item Types makes it easy to add links to your archive pages, titles, items without URL, paragraphs or images to your navigation menus.
You can also easily override the templates and/or create your own custom elements.

Menu Item Types can be extended

You can create your own item type like this :

function register_my_custom_type(){

    $args = array(
        'slug'        => "my-custom-type",
        'icon'        => 'https://url-to-icon-file.svg',
        'label'       => __( 'My Custom Type', 'my-custom-type' ),
        'field-group' => 'path/to/acf/field-group-array.php',
        'render'      => 'path/to/render/my-custom-render.php',
        'callback'    => function(){
            // Use callback for customize your item
            // you can add filter on 'mitypes_nav_menu_link_attributes' if you need
        }
    );

    mitypes_register_type( $args );
}
add_filter( 'mitypes_init', 'register_my_custom_type' );

There are already additional plugins.
