    I have been trying to add a before and after to the menu items to twentyten. I have tried

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'before' => '<span>', 'after' => '</span>', 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>

    and even hard coding in the nav-menu-template.php I have cleared my cache and made small changes to make sure it is updating, but nothing seems to work. Scratching my head. Anyone figured this out? is there a function filter to use? Or better a plugin that offers this functionality?

    use link_before and link_after to add your spans

    I figured out what is was.

    add_filter( 'wp_page_menu_args', 'twentyten_page_menu_args' );

    in functions.php

    I am not sure how or why, but it was overriding my args.

    Could you explain this a bit more? I’ve tried removing add-filter but I still can’t get ‘after’ or ‘before’ to work.

    I’m using Starkers template to begin with if that helps. 🙂

    Hi,

    in my case, ‘after’ and ‘before’ and other params worked just when I associated a menu with it. So I needed this code on my functions.php:

    register_nav_menus(
        array(
            'header_menu' => 'Header Menu',
            'foot_menu' => 'Foot Menu'
	)
    );

    On header:

    wp_nav_menu(
                    array(
                        'theme_location' => 'header_menu',
                        'container_id' => 'menu',
                        'link_before' => '<span>',
                        'link_after' => '</span>',
                    )
                );

    After go to your wp-admin and associate a menu with your ‘header-menu’, and finally your params start working, I think. If you don’t associate the params don’t work.

    I think this sould be reported as a bug, but I don’t know if already exists one reported. ‘Cause I’m very new on WordPress it’s hard to find if there are something already reported. I’d thanks if someone more experience could report :). Soon I will try reporting bugs too.
