Cant get wordpress to update navigation label when changing original page header.

[tifure]

Navigation label does not update when a change is made original page header.

Showing original name under that is supposed to show up in the navigation label, but the field " navigation label" does not change.

Hey there,

Welcome to WordPress Trac! This issue tracker is meant for reporting bugs and enhancements in WordPress Core. For support questions, we have dedicated ​support forums.

However, I just had a quick look at your website and it doesn't seem to be powered by WordPress at all. Thus, you need to ask the developer of your website about this.

Navigation label should be showing the same as original: Veksfag. 4-7 mai.

Ah, now it makes more sense. Thanks for the correct screenshot!

In WordPress, one can add posts and pages and other items to a menu. The newly added menu item references the original item, but is completely separate. This allows you to set the navigation label to anything you want. It does not update when you change the original label. That's by design, and not a bug.

If you want a way to update the navigation label when updating the post title, I recommend you to ask in the support forums in the ​Plugins and Hacks category.

@swissspidy I'm not sure that this isn't a bug, and I think that this issue is now fixed for nav menus in the customizer. Namely, if you add a post/page to a nav menu item, then you should be able to leave the label for the nav menu item blank and it should inherit from the title of the original post/page so that it will be updated when the underlying object's title changes.

@westonruter That's right, my bad. Works in the admin too if the label is the same as the post ones and the post gets updated.

@tifure So to partly revisit my statement, you should actually be able to achieve this. See the above explanation.

Thing is, only page title is changed - we dont change anything else. Is there another place there to empty text so it should "autofill" the navigation label? Please. Sorry the mess with the wrong attachment.
