More UI hooks please! #18584

• #18584 - Nav Menu UI needs more hooks (it's still very much up in the air due to #14134)

Run into a situation where we are using multiple themes on a single website. Basically each page can be assigned a custom theme.

The issue I have run into is the only way to assign a menu to a new page with a 'custom theme' for that page, is to temporarily activate the new theme on the website, assign the menu to its location, and then reactivate the original theme.

While this works, it obviously disrupts the entire system as I have to change the active theme for the site to make this change.

I spent a bit of time looking, but I do not see anywhere that I can hook into to define the theme that I am working with on the menu admin page.

As this is an unusual situation, I don't expect a lot of traction, but one thing that does come up A LOT is people hating that they loose their menu locations when changing themes. It might be nice to have the option of selecting a theme to apply the menus to in this new revamp or at least a hook, else I am afraid it could be a very long time before this would ever be addressed again.

Replying to anointed:

You're correct, that's pretty edge. I suggest you take a look at #18584 as it's more in-line with proposing additional hooks on the menu screen(s).

Added:

• #23714 - Remove menus message slide down effect
• #23716 - Discuss theme locations as meta box vs checkboxes
