Hey all,
So I am struggling with adding a subtitle to my navigation in my child theme. I'm having issues with the formatting. Now, I know when I add: class="sf-menu" to the 'UL' selector that resolves the formatting and I see what I would expect. However, and I know this going to seem like a lame question, but I cannot find the line of code in my child theme or in thematic where I would place the "class="sf-menu" code. In Firebug I can see the UL selector and apply the class to it. However, I cannot find it in my theme. What is it that I am missing here? Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Yannibmbr-

What is it that you are trying to do with your navigation and what code are you currently using to do it?

Hey Gene,
So I'm attempting to use subtitles with my navigation as shown here: http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-menu-tricks/ under the 'adding subtitles to menu links' section.

I have added the function to functions.php, in my child theme. I can see now, that the subtitles are created, however, the formatting is off.

For the formatting to be fixed I need to add the class="sf-menu" to the 'UL' selector. I know that. However, I do not know how or where to add "class="sf-menu" to the 'UL' selector" within my theme.

I can go into firebug and pull up the #access div and I see the UL tag. I add class="sf-menu" to the 'UL' selector and the formatting is fixed. But I can't find this code in my child theme or in the parent thematic theme, for that matter. Does that make sense?

Your function is filtering wp_page_menu after thematic's thematic_add_menuclass() added the class. So you're essentially overwriting those changes with your filter. All you need to do is add the class in your function.

If you're using the code from that tutorial all you need do is change:
```
function childtheme_page_menu() { ?>
    <div class="menu">
        <ul>
```
to
```
function childtheme_page_menu() { ?>
    <div class="menu">
        <ul class="sf-menu">
```
