MAJpage Menu Class Extender Plugin

This simple plugin was written to add classes to first, last, parent, even and odd elements of wp_page_menu and wp_nav_menu to support recognizing it in older browsers without :first-child, :last-child and :nth-child supporting.

Plugin adds the following classes to menu <li> tags:

• “first-menu-item” to every first child of <ul> or <menu> tag,
• “last-menu-item” to every last child of <ul> or <menu> tag,
• “parent-menu-item” to every child of <ul> or <menu> tag that has another <ul> or <menu> tag inside (a parent to another menu level),
• “odd-menu-item” to every odd child of <ul> or <menu> tag, including first and/or last child,

• “even-menu-item” to every even child of <ul> or <menu> tag, including first and/or last child.

  Above classes are added separately to each menu level. Plugin use SimpleXML extension and requires PHP 5 or higher. Menu should have valid XHTML code.

1. Upload “majpage-menu-class-extender.php” to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
3. That’s all – plugin is fully operational and adds specified classes in every wp_page_menu and wp_nav_menu element with menu defined in “Menus” tab.
