Hmm strange... when I use an URL field, it doesn't work, the link gets corrupted. But when I use a single line field with an URL in it, it does work - but then I can't validate the URL on input.

When you use URL field you have to use extra attribute output='raw'.

For example:

<a href="[types field='woonplaats' output='raw' item='[wpv-search-term param='contact_id']'][/types]">Woonplaats</a>

Yes that works, thanks!

I know this is out of the scope of support, but I'm hoping it's a small problem for you to fix 🙂

I've added other pages to your code to get the ID parameter on those as well (see the code below), but when I click on another page, the ID parameter gets lost... please see this screen recording to see what I mean: hidden link

add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items','func_add_kapper_id_to_menu', 20, 3 );
function func_add_kapper_id_to_menu( $items, $menu, $args ) {
  global $post;
  
    if( is_admin() )
        return $items;

if($post->post_type=="kapper"){

    foreach( $items as $item ) 
    { 	
        if( 'Contact' == $item->title){
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post->ID;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
       
        if( 'Wie ben ik' == $item->title){
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post->ID;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
      
        if( 'Prijslijst' == $item->title){
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post->ID;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
    }
}
    return $items;
}

I've adjusted the code I've added as given under:

add_filter( 'wp_get_nav_menu_items','func_add_kapper_id_to_menu', 20, 3 );
function func_add_kapper_id_to_menu( $items, $menu, $args ) {
  global $post;
  
    if( is_admin() )
        return $items;

if($post->post_type=="kapper" or ($post->ID==20 and isset($_GET['contact_id'])) ){

 
    foreach( $items as $item ) 
    { 	
       if( 'Wie ben ik' == $item->title){
            
            $post_id = isset($_GET['contact_id'])?$_GET['contact_id']:$post->ID;
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post_id;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
      
        if( 'Prijslijst' == $item->title){
         
              $post_id = isset($_GET['contact_id'])?$_GET['contact_id']:$post->ID;
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post_id;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
      if( 'Contact' == $item->title){
         
              $post_id = isset($_GET['contact_id'])?$_GET['contact_id']:$post->ID;
         
            $item->url = $item->url.'?contact_id='.$post_id;
          	$items[] = $item;
        }  
      
      
    } }

    return $items;
}

You need to make sure on what page/post you are and accordingly you will require to set the conditions with the above hook. I hope this helps and please kindly open a new ticket for every new question.

That absolutely helps! Thank you so much, couldn't have done this without you 🙂
