PinegrowWordPressSmartMenuWalker

Easily adjust the layout of WordPress navigation menus with this menu walker class.

Instructions

1. Include wp_smart_navwalker.php into functions.php of your theme

For example, add this at the end of functions.php:

require_once "wp_smart_navwalker.php";

2. Output the menu in your theme

For example:

<?php 
    PG_Smart_Walker_Nav_Menu::$options['template'] = '<li class="{CLASSES}" id="{ID}"><a {ATTRS}>{TITLE}</a></li>';
    PG_Smart_Walker_Nav_Menu::$options['current_class'] = 'active';
    wp_nav_menu( array(
        'container' => '',
        'items_wrap' => '<ul class="right %2$s" id="%1$s">%3$s</ul>',
        'walker' => new PG_Smart_Walker_Nav_Menu()
    ) ); ?>

Tell the walker which layout to use for menu items by assigning the template to PG_Smart_Walker_Nav_Menu::$options['template'] before calling wp_nav_menu.

Assign the current class to PG_Smart_Walker_Nav_Menu::$options['current_class'].

The menu item template can contain the following tokens:

{CLASSES} - replaced by WP classes of the menu item
{ID} - replaced by WP menu item id
{ATTRS} - replaced by WP link attributes like href, target, ref and title
{TITLE} - replaced by the menu item title
{SUB} - optional, tells the walker where to put sub-menu items, default is before the last closing tag of the template
