 * Hey guys,
 * I have the following HTML static code:
 *     ```
       <div class="Alignment">
           <div class="MenuItem First"><a href="?view=home" class="Selected">Link</a></div>
           <div class="MenuItem"><a href="?view=about" >Link</a></div>
           <div class="MenuItem"><a href="?view=gallery" >Link</a></div>
           <div class="MenuFooter"></div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * And I want to turn this into a wordpress driven menu…
    I have the menu set-up
   but I cant get the settings right to do that I need too about?
 *     ```
       <?php
       wp_nav_menu(array(
       	'theme_location' => 'main',
       	'menu_class' => 'MenuItem'
       ));
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Can anyone please help me 🙂
    Dan

 * **1. Register the custom menu in your functions.php**
 *     ```
       // Custum Menus
       add_action('init', 'register_custom_menu');
   
       function register_custom_menu() {
       register_nav_menu('my-menu', 'My Menu');
       }
       ```
   
 * **2. Paste that (maybe with some little changes for the menu css class 😉 in 
   your template**
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'my-menu', 'container' => 'my-menu', 'menu_class'  => 'my-menu-css-class' ) ); ?>
       ```
   
 * **3. Go to your admin area: Appearance > Menus and set up**
 * Does that work for you?

 * I have got it all working, I just need some help with the wp_nav_menu() function
   to get it to make the code I have above?
 * As what I have now is as following:
    `<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location'
   => 'main', 'container' => 'Alignment', 'menu_class' => 'MenuItem' ) ); ?>`
 * But I get this from that…. not like the static code above….
 *     ```
       <div class="MenuItem">
           <ul>
               <li class="page_item page-item-10 current_page_item"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
               <li class="page_item page-item-20"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
               <li class="page_item page-item-18"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
               <li class="page_item page-item-22"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
           </ul>
       </div>
       ```

 * Oh ok… guess you wont get this 1:1 but have a closer look to the “items_wrap”
