Hi

You can try other filter that wordpress provides, for example, ‘walker_nav_menu_start_el’.
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/walker_nav_menu_start_el/

This is basically the hook i used to do my mega menu too 😉

So, your code would look something like:

add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'append_da_damn_hover_popup', 15, 2);
function append_da_damn_hover_popup($item_output, $item) {
    // if there's no content, just return the <a> directly
    if (! get_field('popup_content', $item)) {
        return $item_output;
    }

    $popup = '<div class="menu-popup">';
    $popup .= get_field('popup_content', $item);
    $popupt .= '</div>';

    return $item_output.$popup;
}

Cheers. 🤠
