 * for some reason you can’t call it like:
 * <?php dropdown_menu(‘nav-footer’); ?>
 * instead you need to do call it like:
 * <?php dropdown_menu( array(
    ‘menu’ => ‘nav-footer’ )); ?>
 * this took me a while to figure out and I thought the plugin was broken… hope 
   it helps someone

 * Yeah, me too, cheers, documentation is somewhat lacking for this plugin, shame
   as it’s a good ‘un.

 * Hey guys – sorry about that. I wasn’t aware you could call `wp_nav_menu()` in
   that way with just the slug. I’ll add this option in.

 * [@zactoff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zactoff/) what extra documentation
   would help you with the plugin? CSS examples or better code examples?

 * Just some code example like the above of how to use it would be cool. Not a biggie,
   it’s a sweet plugin.
 * As for CSS, I guess that depends on how far you want to go with supporting people
   who are new to the game (not counting myself in that, I just have regular “used
   to be a designer now I’m a developer” WordPress type issues).

 * I can draw more attention to the widget option and perhaps the fact that you 
   use it the same way as `wp_nav_menu()` (at least now you can anyway!).
 * I should have a link to the `wp_nav_menu()` codex page too.

 * Could be that I’m not using it in a widget so didn’t even bother to have a look
   at it that way.
