Navigation / Menu Descriptions

[philweb]

I want to do a Menu WITH description using Generate Theme. I saw a theme related to what i wanted: http://demo.studiopress.com/backcountry/

This time, i want it on the primary navigation.

Something like this: http://screencast.com/t/WHL9e2c5

I already activated the description in the "Screen Options" on Appearance>Menus .

I tried to 'google it' but can't find something that work

You need to add the code to call it in the functions.php file. In the case of the Backcountry theme, the function is in the secondary menu, and the functions.php includes this code:

/** Add description to secondary navigation */
add_filter( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'add_description', 10, 4 ); 
function add_description( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ) {

	$args = (array) $args;
       
	if ( $args['theme_location'] != 'primary' )  {
		return preg_replace( '/(<a.*?>[^<]*?)</', '$1' . "<span class=\"menu-description\">{$item->post_content}</span><", $item_output ); 
	}
	else {
		return $item_output;
	}

}

You can adjust the code accordingly to reference the primary menu.
