wp_nav_menu() before / after

  • I have been trying to add a before and after to the menu items to twentyten. I have tried

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'before' => '<span>', 'after' => '</span>', 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

    and even hard coding in the nav-menu-template.php I have cleared my cache and made small changes to make sure it is updating, but nothing seems to work. Scratching my head. Anyone figured this out? is there a function filter to use? Or better a plugin that offers this functionality?

  • use link_before and link_after to add your spans

    I figured out what is was.

    add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyten_page_menu_args' );

    in functions.php

    I am not sure how or why, but it was overriding my args.

    Could you explain this a bit more? I’ve tried removing add-filter but I still can’t get ‘after’ or ‘before’ to work.

    I’m using Starkers template to begin with if that helps. ??

    Hi,

    in my case, ‘after’ and ‘before’ and other params worked just when I associated a menu with it. So I needed this code on my functions.php:

    register_nav_menus(
        array(
            'header_menu' => 'Header Menu',
            'foot_menu' => 'Foot Menu'
	)
    );

    On header:

    wp_nav_menu(
                    array(
                        'theme_location' => 'header_menu',
                        'container_id' => 'menu',
                        'link_before' => '<span>',
                        'link_after' => '</span>',
                    )
                );

    After go to your wp-admin and associate a menu with your ‘header-menu’, and finally your params start working, I think. If you don’t associate the params don’t work.

    I think this sould be reported as a bug, but I don’t know if already exists one reported. ‘Cause I’m very new on WordPress it’s hard to find if there are something already reported. I’d thanks if someone more experience could report :). Soon I will try reporting bugs too.
