I am adding a specific class on my wp_nav_menu link via function.php but I am not able to target a specific menu: This is what I got which targets all wp_menu_nav on my page:
function add_menuclass_active($ulclass) {
return preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="list-group"', $ulclass, 1);
}
add_filter('wp_nav_menu', 'add_menuclass_active');
I tried also using the following with no luck
function add_menuclass_active( $nav_menu, $args ) {
if( $args->theme_location == 'CUSTOM MENU' )
return preg_replace( '/<a /', '<a class="list-group"', $nav_menu, 1 );
return $nav_menu;
}
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'add_menuclass_active', 10, 2 );

Reset to default 6I tried the below code and it worked.
Add this to your functions.php
register_nav_menus(array(
'top-menu' => __('Menu1', 'twentyfourteen'),
'side-menu' => __('Menu2', 'twentyfourteen'),
'footer-menu' => __('Menu3', 'twentyfourteen')
) );
function my_walker_nav_menu_start_el($item_output, $item, $depth, $args) {
$menu_locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
if ( has_term($menu_locations['top-menu'], 'nav_menu', $item) ) {
$item_output = preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="list-group" ', $item_output, 1);
}
return $item_output;
}
add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'my_walker_nav_menu_start_el', 10, 4);
At last you must select the option "Menu1" for the specific menu on which you have to add the anchor custom classes from dashboard Apperance->menus. (select menu2 or menu3 for other menus whose anchor links does not need the custom-class)
To add "active class" to the first menu item of the particular menu then try this one:
function my_walker_nav_menu_start_el($item_output, $item, $depth, $args) {
$menu_locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
if ( has_term($menu_locations['top-menu'], 'nav_menu', $item) ) {
$item_output = preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="list-group" ', $item_output, 1);
if ($item->menu_order == 1){
$item_output = preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="list-group active" ', $item_output, 1);
}
}
return $item_output;
}
add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'my_walker_nav_menu_start_el', 10, 4);
If the active class must be added to the first menu item of all menus then use this:
function my_walker_nav_menu_start_el($item_output, $item, $depth, $args) {
$menu_locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
if ( has_term($menu_locations['top-menu'], 'nav_menu', $item) ) {
$item_output = preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="list-group" ', $item_output, 1);
}
if ($item->menu_order == 1){
$item_output = preg_replace('/<a /', '<a class="active" ', $item_output, 1);
}
return $item_output;
}
add_filter('walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'my_walker_nav_menu_start_el', 10, 4);
