display wordpress sub menu items only for a given menu item

I’m having some trouble with creating a very custom menu in WordPress.

Basically, I need to get a list of all SUB menu items for a specific menu item, for example

Menu structure

item 1 (link)   <--- level 1
  leftside  <--- level 2
    subitem a (link)  <--- level 3
    subitem b (link)  <--- level 3
    subitem c (link)  <--- level 3
    subitem d (link)  <--- level 3
    ...

  rightside  <--- level 2
    subitem a (link) <--- level 3
    subitem b (link) <--- level 3
    subitem c (link) <--- level 3
    subitem d (link) <--- level 3
    ...

I want to write a function where I can ask for: 1. all the submenu items for a level 1 item and it will give me the level 2 items under it 2. all the submenu items for a level 2 item and it will give me the level 3 items under it

You could determine this manually by looking at the source code output of the site. For example, menus start with tags and menu items use

  • tags, with the "id" defined being the list of the specific menu items.

    For example, on one of my sites, we have an admin bar menu for BP:

        <ul class="ab-sub-secondary ab-submenu" id="wp-admin-bar-my-account-wordpress">
     <li id="wp-admin-bar-my-account-notifications" class="menupop">Notifications</li>
    ...
    </ul>

    In this case, the sub-items all start with the id:

    wp-admin-bar-

    And this particular one is wp-admin-bar-my-account-notifications.

    You could for example, remove this, with something like:

         function remove_nodes() {
      $wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-notifications');
     }
     add_action('admin_bar_menu','remove_nodes', 2);
