[wp-hackers] wp_get_nav_menu_items not working?

[Steve Taylor]

Going a bit mad with this one. I've used a nav menu in a previous
project so the client can select and order items to feature in a
carousel-type thing on the home page. I used something like this to
get all the post objects associated with the menu items:

$slt_hero_menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items( "hero-carousel" );
$slt_hero_items = array();
foreach ( $slt_hero_menu as $slt_hero_menu_item )
	$slt_hero_items[] = get_post( $slt_hero_menu_item->object_id );

For some reason I can't currently fathom, this doesn't work on another
site I'm working on.

- wp_nav_menu( "hero-carousel" ) printed the menu out fine
- has_nav_menu( "hero-carousel" ) returns true
- is_nav_menu( "hero-carousel" ) returns false
- BUT wp_get_nav_menu_items( "hero-carousel" ) return zilch

AFAIK I've got the menu registered, created and assigned all as
normal. I suspect I'm falling foul of some confusion between whatever
is implied by what has_nav_menu() and is_nav_menu() return.

Any ideas?

thanks,
