FAQ

The widgets show up, but the display is all messed up.

That’s because the css for the nav menu was never meant to take care of widgets.

For example, if the widget contains a link, you might have to redo it. If it’s a calendar:

.yawp_wim_wrap a {
width: auto !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}

How does one style the widgets?

Inspect element is your friend. Otherwise, the menu item will have the classes menu-item-type-yawp_wim, menu-item-object-yawp_wim.

Additionally, the widget will be wrapped in a div with the class yawp_wim_wrap.

Using these selectors, one can style the widgets.

Also, using various filters (see: Other Notes), especially yawp_wim_attribute_prefix, you can change this yawp_wim prefix to something of your own:

add_filter('yawp_wim_attribute_prefix','my_prefix');

function my_prefix($default_prefix){
    return 'my_prefix';
}

The wrapper class will now be my_prefix_wrap and so on.

Great utility and I find it especially graceful when paired with XYZ’s PHP & HTML snippet injectors. Together one can add a drop-down tag cloud to a menu, thus freeing up valuable screen space for content.

One of the best plugins I’ve ever known. Simply and easily it’s possible to put anything in the menus.
