how can I change the element structure of the menu in wordpress themes? like I want to change the structure into this:
<nav id="mymenu" class="menu"> <!-- here the li tags with links --></nav>
just want to replace the UL tags with the nav tags which is html5. Thanks.
You will have to use the items_wrap parameter in wp_nav_menu to achieve this.
There is an example in this page
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu
under the heading “Removing the ul wrap”
It’s worth noting that you wouldn’t want to use
<li></li>elements outside of a<ul>or<ol>element – it’s not valid HTML. What you probably want to do is wrap the list in a nav tag.I’m assuming, since you’re asking this question, that you’re using WP’s auto-generated menu? You can change a bunch of variables – check the WordPress Codex (always): http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu
