Conflict with other plugins / themes that use Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit about acf HOT 7 CLOSED

@elliotcondon thanks for adding the hook in ACF. Didn't notice until now is added, tested and works fine.

@rico Looks like "WPFront User Role Editor" needs to override the Menu walker to add its own functionality, and also preserves support for other plugin to hook into it. The option "Override Navigation Menu Permissions" probably is for these use cases.

I will close this, as the change is made in ACF and works as expected

For reference, better support for this is being discussed for years https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18584 without something concrete being planned

Hi @AndreiIgna

Thanks for the topic and info. I like your solution (https://github.com/helgatheviking/Nav-Menu-Roles/blob/master/inc/class.Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit_Roles_4.7.php#L66) - this looks neat and tidy to me.

I've had a similar ticket on my to-do for a long time, but never got around to it. I'll make sure I look into this shortly :)

That's great @elliotcondon

As a example, someone is affected by this and ACF fields are not being displayed in menu items https://wordpress.org/support/topic/acf-plugin-conflict-2/

@elliotcondon one of my sites is affected by this (Version 5.8.3). Any chance this will be fixed any time soon?

Hi @rico

We fixed this issue a while ago by adopting a generic Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit class that uses an "wp_nav_menu_item_custom_fields" action.

May I ask which other plugin or theme is causing you the conflict issue?

from acf.

Hi @elliotcondon - ah ok, sorry, thought it is still open.

It's this Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfront-user-role-editor/. However, I figured out that the plugin has a somehow cryptic option called Override Navigation Menu Permissions which seems to overcome the conflict.

If the option is not activated, I get a warning: Menu walker class is overridden by a theme/plugin. Current value = ACF_Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit. Navigation menu permissions may still work.
