Menu item description support removed?

    We have been using MaxMegaMenu for quite a while, successfully using the menu item description field to display additional sub-menu information as can be seen on the ‘Lines to Explore’ menu at https://greatscenicrailways.co.uk/. However, in upgrading from version 1.8 to the current version 2.1.5 we discovered that all of our sub-menu descriptions disappeared.

    After much digging around it appears that the plugin file ‘classes/walker.class.php’ No longer outputs the menu description at line 138: $item_output .= '</a>';. I have modified it to read $item_output .= '</a><span class="menudesc">'.$item->description."</span>"; and it is working again but this will obviously break again next time the plugin is upgraded.

    Do you have any suggestions of how I can implement a longer-lasting fix or work-around?

    Hi Dave,

    MMM has never supported item descriptions, so I think that file was manually edited on your server at some point. Unfortunately the older tags were deleted from the SVN repo so I don’t have a way of proving it to you, but I do have copies of the old tags stored locally (https://screencast.com/t/uqpU9uwXDsd) so I can check back on things.

    How are your PHP skills? You could modify the code I’ve posted here:

    If you need a hand with it let me know.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the speedy response. It is quite likely that the file had been edited our end at some point (I’ve only recently taken over responsibility for managing this codebase)

    My PHP is good, still getting up to speed with WordPress, but I am sure I can take it from here. Cheers for pointing me in the right direction.

    Many thanks,
    Dave
