Upgrade to 2.2.3 – How to get rid off extra span in Menu

[Toon61]

Hi all,

Just upgraded a site to Genesis 2.2.3 (the latest), but now my main menu has changed.
Instead of:
<a href="url">Menu item name </a>
It now reads:
<a href="url" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="name">Menu item name</span></a>
I guess this has something to do with accessibility or so, but at the moment this breaks my menu.
So how do I get rid off that extra <span>?

Ok,
Figured this one out with a little 'hack': renaming the itemprop to nothing like this:

add_filter( 'genesis_attr_nav-link-wrap', 'whd_genesis_attributes_nav_link_wrap', 20 );

function whd_genesis_attributes_nav_link_wrap( $attributes ) {
	$attributes['class'] = '';
	$attributes['itemprop'] = '';
	return $attributes;
}

Added this to my child theme functions.php.
Now the <span> is still there but without the itemprop and that fixed my menu.

That is schema.org markup. It helps with SEO. Accessibility is not turned on by default.
