## Сигнатура

```php
wp_update_nav_menu_item( int $menu_id, int $menu_item_db_id, array $menu_item_data = array(), bool $fire_after_hooks = true ): int|WP_Error
```

## Описание

menu-item-title, menu-item-description и menu-item-attr-title должны быть заранее экранированы слешами, так как передаются напрямую в API, ожидающие данные со слешами.

## Параметры

- `$menu_id` `int` — обязательный. ID меню. Если 0, элемент меню становится черновиком без родителя.
- `$menu_item_db_id` `int` — обязательный. ID элемента меню. Если 0, создаётся новый элемент меню.
- `$menu_item_data` `array` — необязательный, по умолчанию `array()`. Данные элемента меню.
- `$fire_after_hooks` `bool` — необязательный, по умолчанию `true`. Следует ли запускать хуки, срабатывающие после вставки.

## Возвращаемое значение

`int|WP_Error` — WP_Error
