Import Menus During Genesis Theme Setup

Requires Genesis 2.9.0+ and WordPress 5.0.0+

One-click theme setup #

Use this config/onboarding.php format to create and assign menu items:

<?php
/**
 * Genesis Sample.
 *
 * Onboarding config to load content and navigation on theme activation.
 *
 * @package Genesis Sample
 * @author  StudioPress
 * @license GPL-2.0-or-later
 * @link    https://www.studiopress.com/
 */
return [
	'dependencies'     => [],
	'widgets'          => [],
	// Full content omitted for this example leaving only keys.
	'content'          => [
		'homepage' => [],
		'about'    => [],
		'contact'  => [],
		'blocks'   => [],
		'landing'  => [],
	],
	'navigation_menus' => [
		'primary' => [
			'homepage' => [
				'title' => 'Home',
			],
			'about'    => [
				'title' => 'About Us',
			],
			'contact'  => [
				'title' => 'Contact Us',
			],
			'blocks'   => [
				'title' => 'Block Examples',
			],
			'landing'  => [
				'title' => 'Landing Page',
			],
		],
	],
];

The keys in the navigation_menus array should match those from imported content.

The primary key above denotes that menu items should be assigned to the menu area that was registered as primary via register_nav_menus().

Importing links as bare URLs is not currently supported.
