Remove <div> wrapper from wp_nav_menu output - wordpress

Question

I'm trying to remove the wrapper from the wp_nav_menu() function.
I've passed container => false to the arguements array and added a hook in my functions.php, but it still shows the wrapper.
function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args )
{
$args['menu'] = false;
$args['menu_class'] = false;
$args['container'] = false;
$args['container_class'] = false;
$args['show_home'] = true;
return $args;
}
Any ideas why?

Answer 1

Reading the codex: Function Reference/wp nav menu
You may need to set the Theme Location in your functions.php file and then assign your menu to it?
This is what is says in the codex:
In order to remove navigation container, theme location specified in
functions.php and used among arguments in function wp_nav_menu ( eg.
'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' ) must have a menu assigned to it
in administration! Othervise argument 'container' => 'false' is
ignored.
If you need to register a location you can use the following:
// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'Your_Theme' ),
) );
Then pass it in the wp_nav_menu() function
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'container' => false ) );
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I have passed null to container and menu is not wrapped in div tag.
wp_nav_menu(
array('menu' => 'Bočni',
'container' => null
)
);

Answer 3

I think the boolean data type it's not available for this Parameters, please read this Function Reference/wp nav menu
So the best way to remove this div wrapper replace it with ul, like this example
wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'header-nav_menu',
'theme_location' => 'header-nav_menu',
'container' => 'ul', //To replace div wrapper with ul
'menu_class' => 'YOUR CLASS'//Add classes to your ul
)
);

Answer 4

wp_nav_menu(array(
'container' => '',
'items_wrap' => '<ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>',
'theme_location' => 'footer-1',
));
An existing menu have to be associated to your location ('footer-1' in my example), otherwise, there is always a div wrapper.

Answer 5

In my case "container" => false doesn't work, It only works when you write
"items_wrap" => "%3$s" but it removes all wraps including <ul> if you want to remove <div> and have your menu wrapped in <ul> I recommend to do this way
wp_nav_menu(array(
'theme_location' => 'header_menu',
'menu' => 'header_menu',
'items_wrap' => '<ul>%3$s</ul>',
'container' => false,
'menu_class' => 'nav',
'list_item_class' => 'nav-item',
'link_class' => 'nav-link',
'menu_id' => 'menu-main-menu'
));
