    Got another WP question hoping someone can shed light on... google so far no joy.

    I have menu which i have added some sub menu items. Id expect (and all WP tutorials examples show) the menu code to be along these lines:

    <ul>
    <li>menu item 1</li>
    <li>menu item 2</li>
    <li>menu item 3
    <ul class="sub-menu">
    <li>sub 1</li>
    <li>sub2</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>menu item 4</li>
    </ul>

    but what im actually getting is:

    <ul>
    <li>menu item 1</li>
    <li>menu item 2</li>
    <li>menu item 3</li>
    <ul class="sub-menu">
    <li>sub 1</li>
    <li>sub2</li>
    </ul>
    <li>menu item 4</li>
    </ul>

    ie the sub menu is not within its parents li (like all the examples I have seen)

    This is minimal custom theme I have made, do I need to add some function or something to get it to be where it should?

    • what code are you using to display the menu in your template/header?fadein11
    • $args = array(
      'theme_location' => 'primary',
      'after' => '<li class="navSpace"><p>/</p></li>');      dee-dubs
    • wp_nav_menu( $args );dee-dubs
    • use something like this (obv replace the relevant bits)
      <?php wp_nav_menu( array(
      'container' => 'div',      fadein11
    • 'container_class' => 'main-nav',
      'fallback_cb' => 'responsive_fallback...
      'theme_location' => 'header-menu'
      ) ); ?>      fadein11
    • if you don't have a responsive menu can leave that out.fadein11
    • actually looks like you have that pretty much.fadein11
    • thanks...tried it and still no dice... it is definatly the 'after' that is causing it... will see if I can remove it and create the same effect in pure CSSdee-dubs
