I tried to add snippets of this solution.
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/90346/costum-walker-with-sub-menu-item-count
but the problem is that the submenu div is made in another function.
That’s my Walker:
static $x = 0;
function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "\n$indent<div id='p7DMMs1_2' class='p7dmm-sub-wrapper'><ul class='sub-menu'>\n";
}
function end_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) {
$indent = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$output .= "$indent</ul></div>\n";
}
function start_el ( &$output, $item, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $id = 0 ) {
// Most of this code is copied from original Walker_Nav_Menu
global $wp_query, $wpdb;
$indent = ( $depth ) ? str_repeat( "\t", $depth ) : '';
$class_names = $value = '';
$classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;
$classes[] = '';
$class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item, $args ) );
$class_names = ' class="menu-item"';
$id = apply_filters( 'nav_menu_item_id', 'menu-item-'. $item->ID, $item, $args );
$id = ' id=""';
$has_children = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(meta_id)
FROM wp_postmeta
WHERE meta_key='_menu_item_menu_item_parent'
AND meta_value='".$item->ID."'");
$output .= $indent . '<li' . $value . $class_names .'>';
$attributes = ! empty( $item->attr_title ) ? ' title="' . esc_attr( $item->attr_title ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->target ) ? ' target="' . esc_attr( $item->target ) .'"' : '';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->xfn ) ? ' rel="' . esc_attr( $item->xfn ) .'"' : '';
if ( $depth == 0 ) {
$attributes .= ' id="p7DMMt1_'.$x.'"';
}
// Check if menu item is in main menu
if ( $depth == 0 && $has_children > 0 ) {
$item_html = '';
// These lines adds your custom class and attribute
$attributes .= ' class="trig"';
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->url ) ? ' href="#"' : '';
} else {
$attributes .= ! empty( $item->url ) ? ' href="' . esc_attr( $item->url ) .'"' : '';
}
$item_output = $args->before;
$item_output .= '<a'. $attributes .'>';
$item_output .= $args->link_before . apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ) . $args->link_after;
// Add the caret if menu level is 0
if ( $depth == 0 && $has_children > 0 ) {
$item_output .= '';
}
$item_output .= '</a>';
$item_output .= $args->after;
$output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );
}
