How do I retrieve menu items from one level only?

Question

The WordPress function wp_get_nav_menu_items returns my whole site's navigation nested and all. Now if i want to get the nav menu for one "level" of that nested navigation only, how do I do that?

Answer 1

Are you trying to display the posts from the top down a certain number of levels?

If so, use wp_nav_menu. It has an argument "depth" built just for this and it works painelssly.

wp_nav_menu(array('depth' => 2));
