Editing specific element in Wordpress menu with nav_menu_item_id

Question

I want to add number of items in wishlist next to li element in my "menu_main". To problem is I can't how to edit that specific element. I tried sth like

add_filter( 'nav_menu_item_id', 'filter_function_name_5519', 10, 3 );
function filter_function_name_5519( $menu_id, $item, $args ){
    // filter...
    if (!is_admin() && $args->theme_location == 'menu_main' && 
yith_wcwl_count_products() && $menu_id == 'menu-item-5519') {
        $item .= '<li>' . yith_wcwl_count_products() . '</li>';
    }
    return $item;
}

But that doesn't work. Important for me is to echo yith_wcwl_count_products() within li element, because I need to position it with css via position relative and absolute.

you can't change this way you are dealing with an object here so if you want to change the title you can do it this way:

 add_filter('nav_menu_item_id', 'filter_function_name_5519', 10, 3);
function filter_function_name_5519($menu_id, $item, $args)
{
    if (!is_admin() && $menu_id == 'menu-item-42') {
        $item->title .= ' test ';

    }


}

I do not want to change title or URL. I need to add content – Mateusz Piguła Aug 17 '18 at 08:28
