I do appreciate it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-77477 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:55:54 +0000 Nick 77477@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am sorry,But this is something beyond puzzling, and must be something so simple, I am just not seeing it. I am gonna dedicate this entire weekend to solving this problem, because the only two conclusions so far I can draw is either one of the WordPress updates changed something fundamentally or Woo plugin is hijacking the Walker class further along. </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-77157 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:52:41 +0000 lcburns 77157@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Yes, I've added that, no luck. May just have to forgo it. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-76943 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:49:46 +0000 Nick 76943@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Have you tried "to inherit all the functionalities of the parent's start_el function and just append the description to $output:"<br /> <pre><code>function start_el(&amp;$output, $item, $depth, $args) { parent::start_el($output, $item, $depth, $args); $output .= sprintf(&#39;&lt;i&gt;%s&lt;/i&gt;&#39;, esc_html($item-&gt;description)); }</code></pre> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-76676 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:04:20 +0000 lcburns 76676@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Actually, it doesn't really work when you use CSS to display:block on the attr(title), because the whole tab moves on hover. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-76623 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 21:16:27 +0000 lcburns 76623@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Okay, thanks. Yeah, I can just put it into the attribute field, I guess. That does work. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-76622 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 21:07:32 +0000 Nick 76622@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It looks like Wordpress update changed something to cause this, since there is lot of interest in this question on Stack Exchange <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14037/menu-items-description-custom-walker-for-wp-nav-menu" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14037/menu-items-description-custom-walker-for-wp-nav-menu</a> . Please take a look at the very last solution offered,</p> <p>I will return to test some things out,</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-76618 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:33:06 +0000 lcburns 76618@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>That works for the attribute/title in the menu, but what would I use for the 'description'? I've tried different variations, but don't have the right term.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75970 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:28:55 +0000 Nick 75970@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Eh... Sorry about that, was helping someone else who was doing that, so I thought maybe it's an epidemic.</p> <p>Now I understand what you mean, try this. You can remove those blocks, for some reason they didn't work for me since most likely one of the last WordPress updates changed something around.</p> <p>Add this to Quick CSS in the backend and that's it. </p> <pre><code>.menu-item a:after { content: attr(title); }</code></pre> <p>Just have to style it I guess, See if that works, and I will take another look at why the old method not working.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75758 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 15:43:47 +0000 lcburns 75758@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Maybe I'm not clear, sorry for that, but it's not the label field. I don't have any html in the label field. I'm speaking of the description field, where you can enter just text, which I have, and it is to appear under the label on the frontend, as seen in this view:</p> <p><a href="http://www.kriesi.at/archives/improve-your-wordpress-navigation-menu-output" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/archives/improve-your-wordpress-navigation-menu-output</a></p> <p>Thanks - </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75739 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:08:32 +0000 Nick 75739@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The label field doesn't accept html , php or js. Just plain text. Write in a few words what you want to say and save and on a 'mouse over' event over the button, a tooltip will pop out showing the label. I just successfully was able to do that on my localhost development box with a new wordpress install,.. There are better ways to do it, I am sure of that, as there are many commercially available solutions on the market, but unfortunately I am not very familiar with them. I think the problem was caused by entry of html into the label field.,</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Nick </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75458 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:27:12 +0000 lcburns 75458@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Also, let me add that I've deactivated all plugins and there doesn't seem to be a conflict there. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75413 Tue, 11 Sep 2012 13:21:23 +0000 lcburns 75413@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Yes, I'm using 1.5.

I've added descriptive text (they only hover).</p> <p>This code in the header just duplicates it.</p> <p>wp_nav_menu( array(<br /> 'container' =&gt;false,<br /> 'menu_class' =&gt; 'nav',<br /> 'echo' =&gt; true,<br /> 'before' =&gt; '',<br /> 'after' =&gt; '',<br /> 'link_before' =&gt; '',<br /> 'link_after' =&gt; '',<br /> 'depth' =&gt; 0,<br /> 'walker' =&gt; new description_walker())<br /> );</p> <p>Also, when I follow these instructions, nothing happens:</p> <p>'Then open your header.php and find this code...</p> <p>$args = array('theme_location'=&gt;'avia', 'fallback_cb' =&gt; 'avia_fallback_menu');</p> <p>"Place this snippet on top of it."</p> <p>$args = array('theme_location'=&gt;'avia', 'fallback_cb' =&gt; 'avia_fallback_menu', 'walker' =&gt;new description_walker());</p> <p>Thanks - </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/menu-descriptions-not-showing-on-frontend#post-75278 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:48:28 +0000 Devin 75278@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi lcburns,</p> <p>What steps have you taken so far?
