wp_nav_menu_remove_menu_item_has_children_class( string[] $classes, WP_Post $menu_item, stdClass|false $args = false, int|false $depth = false ): string[]

Remove the menu-item-has-children class from bottom level menu items.

Description

This runs on the ‘nav_menu_css_class’ filter. The $args and $depth parameters were added after the filter was originally introduced in WordPress 3.0.0 so this needs to allow for cases in which the filter is called without them.
