           $class_names = $value = '';

           $classes = empty( $item->classes ) ? array() : (array) $item->classes;

           $class_names = join( ' ', apply_filters( 'nav_menu_css_class', array_filter( $classes ), $item ) );

           $description  = ! empty( $item->description ) ? '<span class="nav-sec">'.esc_attr( $item->description ).'</span>' : '';

           if($depth != 0)
           {
                $description = $append = $prepend = "";
           }

            $item_output = $args->before;
            $item_output .= '<a'. $attributes .'>';
            $item_output .= $args->link_before .$prepend.apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID ).$append;
            $item_output .= $description.$args->link_after;
            $item_output .= '</a>';
            $item_output .= $args->after;

            $output .= apply_filters( 'walker_nav_menu_start_el', $item_output, $item, $depth, $args );
            }
}

my wp_nav_menu :

  $header_menu_args = array(    
      'theme_location' => 'main_menu',                                
      'container_class' => 'menu',
      'container_id' => 'dropdown',
      'menu_id' => '', 
      'menu_class' => 'sf-menu',
      'echo' => true,
      'before' => '',
      'after' => '',
      'link_before' => '',
      'link_after' => '',
      'depth' => 0,
      'walker' => new description_walker()                                
  );
  wp_nav_menu( $header_menu_args );
  dropdown_menu( $header_menu_args );

the problem is in the line 44, 46, 47, 49 for the property of non object.

  1. It looks like the $args passed to the function is not an object for some reason. I can’t see the origin of this problem but for a quick solution, you can add $args = (object) $args; before the first time you use $args, here on line 44

    Also, as commented by toscho, dropdown_menu() is not a valid function in wordpress core

  2. For those looking for the answer to this problem it is a bug and has been reported to the core trac.

    The problem is being caused by a nav menu item. This item needs to be removed. Save your menu and the notice will go away.

    Personally I rebuilt my entire menu.
