Error no detectado: no se puede usar el objeto de tipo WP_Post como matriz

Estaba tratando de colocar un menú de WordPress dentro de mi archivo de plantilla. Me resultó incómodo usar wp_nav_menu ya que genera un marcado que no es compatible con mi plantilla HTML estática. Sé que podría usar la clase de caminante de menú personalizado para modificar el marcado que wp_nav_menu. Pero en su lugar, quería usar solo el nombre del menú y su URL correspondiente y colocarlo en mi plantilla. Para esto, utilicé esta función para obtener una matriz de todos los atributos/propiedades del menú.

Aquí está el código que fue generado por esta función…

Lo encontré usando var_dump().

            [xfn] = 
        )

)

Mi intención es obtener el valor de ‘post_title’ y ‘url’

¿Cómo puedo hacer eso?

Actualmente estoy luchando con estas líneas de código.

function mt_get_menu_items($menu_name) {
if ( ( $locations = get_nav_menu_locations() ) && isset( $locations[ $menu_name ] ) ) {
    $menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $menu_name ] );
    return wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);
}
}
$menu_items = mt_get_menu_items ('main_menu');
<nav id="nav">
<ul>
    <?php if (isset ($menu_items) ) : ?>
    <?php foreach ( (array) $menu_items as $key => $menu_item ) : ?>
    <?php // $menu_item_array = get_object_vars($menu_item[$key]);
                    $menu_object = $menu_item[$key];
                    // this line is 98
                 ?>
    <li>
         // this line is 101
        <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45018459/<?php $menu_object->url; ?>" class="active"><?php $menu_object->post_title; ?></a>
    </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</nav>

Esto está generando este error:

Error fatal: error no detectado: no se puede usar el objeto de tipo WP_Post como matriz en D:\xampp\htdocs\mySite\wp-content\themes\mySite\header.php:98

Voy a publicar esta respuesta aquí como referencia …

Usando un foreach círculo

foreach ($originalArray as $key => $data) {
  $post_date = $data->post_date; // 2017-07-10 11:50:32
}

Porque para acceder a los datos dentro de un objeto, use ->.

Ex: $data['post_date'] a $data->post_date

Está recuperando un objeto, puede convertirlo en una matriz de la siguiente manera:

function object_to_array($obj) {
if(is_object($obj)) $obj = (array) $obj;
    if(is_array($obj)) {
        $new = array();
        foreach($obj as $key => $val) {
            $new[$key] = object_to_array($val);
        }
    }
    else $new = $obj;
    return $new;       
}
