Question

I am trying to edit my header.php to call the navigation label of a page as opposed to the page title. Here is the existing code…

<title><?php wp_title( '' ); ?></title>

What is the code for calling or echoing the navigation label of a menu item?

Thanks.

Answer 1

What you need is to access the wp_nav_menu_objects, by first rendering the menu to extract the label in order to use it on the page title.

You can see a working solution well explained on this links:

first render the menu and then display it later
