This gist is for showing an example of a custom wordpress menu.
If you want to get more from the menu item simply have a look at the $item object. i.e:
// Will return a large object with lots of props like title, url, description, id etc.
var_dump( $item );
This code works on Wordpress 4.1.1 as of 31st of March 2015
I can't seem to figure out how to put a class (like
.menu-item-has-children
for example) on the li that has children. Any help?
