How to use nav_menu_meta_box_object filter in WordPress

Example 1: Basic Hook Usage

Here’s how you can use the nav_menu_meta_box_object filter to modify the menu items meta box. This example shows you the basic setup to get started.

    function weplugins_modify_nav_menu_meta_box_object_defaults($post_type) { 
        // Update the $post_type variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        return $post_type; 
    }
    // Add the filter
    add_filter("nav_menu_meta_box_object", "weplugins_modify_nav_menu_meta_box_object_defaults", 10, 1);
    

Example 2: Conditional Modifications

Sometimes, you might want to apply changes conditionally. This example demonstrates how to use the hook with conditions.

    function weplugins_conditional_nav_menu_meta_box_object($post_type) {
        // Conditionally modify the $post_type variable
        if ($post_type->name === 'custom_post_type') {
            // Custom logic here
        }
        return $post_type;
    }
    add_filter("nav_menu_meta_box_object", "weplugins_conditional_nav_menu_meta_box_object", 10, 1);
    

Example 3: Removing a Hook

If you need to remove a previously added hook, you can use remove_filter. Here’s how you can do it.

    // Remove the filter
    remove_filter("nav_menu_meta_box_object", "weplugins_modify_nav_menu_meta_box_object_defaults", 10, 1);
    

Make sure to provide the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments when removing the hook callback.
