I am currently following a YouTube tutorial on how to edit the WordPress Menu. The tutorial has suggested to include the following code within the 'walker.php' file:
function start_lvl( &$output, $depth ){
$indent = str_repeat("\t",$depth);
$submenu = ($depth > 0) ' sub-menu' : '';
$output .= "\n$indent<ul class=\"dropdown-menu$submenu depth_$depth\">\n";
}
When I do include this code, my website returns an 'HTTP ERROR 500' page. Through commenting out each line of the code, in a method of elimination fashion, I have isolated the problematic code to:
$submenu = ($depth > 0) ' sub-menu' : '';
I have checked out other similarly titled questions here but unable to work out what the issue could be. Is anyone able to see where I am going wrong with this particular code?
I am not sure if the HTML Markup plays a role in the error but just in case, here is the code for said markup:
wp_nav_menu()
<div class="menu-container">
<ul>
<li><a>Link<span></a></span></li>
<li><a>Link<span></a></span></li>
<li><a>Link<span></a></span></li>
<li><a>Link<span></a></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
$submenu = ($depth > 0) ' sub-menu' : '';
should be:
$submenu = ($depth > 0)?' sub-menu' : '';
You are missing ?
in the shorthand if else condition.
