<a> missing when integrated into WordPress wp_nav_menu

[amitkvint]

Hi there,

I am have a navigation menu with links styled with lettering.js (a jQuery plugin).
On HTML / SASS works perfectly.

When I try to integrate that into WordPress everything's works well...a part from the tag is not wrapping anymore the nav links :( that's obviously a problem...what I do get is the that is created by lettering.js and of course my other styling, but no tags so can't really be used as a menu if you know what I mean...

Am I missing something ? Anyone with some kind of idea ? similar experience ?

Thanks,
Amit

Lettering is unable to preserve HTML, so if you have tags within something they'll get stripped out. I recommend scoping your selector to something like:

$('nav a').lettering();

Hey thanks god that was quick...

Can you please try and explain some more...I am not such a skilled jQuery developer, usually do more PHP, HTML, CSS...just lately some jQuery

Thanks!

Yeah you may want to ask these kinds of questions on Stack Overflow, I try to keep this for bugs and problems with the software.

I'd need to see code, but you're probably trying to select something like $('.mynavigation').lettering(); when you need to select each individual link like i said above $('.mynavigation a').lettering(); Just like CSS, you gotta point your lettering() at the specific element/class you're trying to target.

Oh thanks...I haven't seen your comment but have manged to actually follow what you said, you are right before I have targeted $(".prep").lettering('words'); &amp; now $("nav a .recuperar").lettering('words'); and I have back my tags ... but now the lettering affect does not work. All I have is it does get the extra

, with all the DOM that WP throws there...if I bather you just let me know I'll try Stack Overflow / WP forums

Thanks anyhow,
Amit

It's 00:05 here in Spain and I did it!'
it's a pretty amazing work-around had: to strip the WP nav UL LI, had to count the elements with CSS, so no classes to the nav a & OLE! like the say here in Spain!

Thanks for your help! sorry to bather you.
