how to insert shortcode into wordpress menu

xyz picture xyz · Jul 9, 2012 · Viewed 39.1k times · Source

I have made a menu item with this code. The menu item shows up but the shortcode output is not there. Is there something I can add or a different method that will do this. I have added also in hopes this might help.

add_filter('wp_nav_items', 'do_shortcode', 7);

Or maybe someone knows this is not possible and can tell me.

/* Nav Menu */
function add_profile_link_to_nav(){ 
 if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { ?> 

<ul> 
  <li class="menu-item"id="one"> <a href="http://example.com/members/">All  Members</a>
  <ul class="sub-menu"> 
      <li class="menu-item"><?php echo custom_execute_shortcode(); ?> </li>
  </ul> 
 </li>
</ul>    <!--end menu--->
<?php } 
}
add_action( "wp_nav_items","add_profile_link_to_nav" );

function custom_execute_shortcode() {
$myfunction= '[my shortcode"]';
$myfunction_parsed = do_shortcode($myfunction);
return $myfunction_parsed;
}

Thanks
