Install the All in One SEO Pack plugin 2. Edit relevant page, i.e. home page and look for Menu Label. Add a span tag after the menu label text, and include the subtitle within a span: <code>Home about us </code> 3. put the following CSS within style.css in your child theme <code>li.page_item span { display:block; font-size:.7em; }</code> Hope this helps.

I'll keep checking the forum regularly for your code/plugin, I'm assuming teh optimizations you're planning are for 1.0?

I'm sorry that I wasn't very communicative 'bout your request. I'm still not sure how this could be done without adding a lot of overhead due to the necessary data base requests. Currently I'm working on some optimizations for Thematic. If this works out as planned, I can write a plugin / code for the functions.php that does whatever you want to the menu without adding overhead to the sql server. The only overhead would be the pure php code.

I need some help. Usually I can find what I'm searching for just by doing a few searches here. This time I cant. I recently implemented the "Adding Sub-Titles To Menu Links" technique. Its works great except it strips the navigational list items of their dynamic classes. Here is the code Ian provides: <pre><code>// Adds descriptive text to link titles // With help from <a href="http://blog.clearskys.net/2008/12/17/how-to-adding-menu-sub-titles-to-a-theme/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.clearskys.net/2008/12/17/how-to-adding-menu-sub-titles-to-a-theme/</a> function sub_page_list() { global $wpdb; $sql = "SELECT p.ID, p.post_title, p.guid, pm.meta_value FROM " . $wpdb->posts . " AS p LEFT JOIN "; $sql .= "(SELECT post_id, meta_value FROM " . $wpdb->postmeta . " AS ipm WHERE meta_key = 'subtitle') "; $sql .= "AS pm ON p.ID = pm.post_id "; $sql .= "WHERE p.post_type = 'page' AND p.post_parent = 0 AND p.post_status = 'publish' "; $sql .= "ORDER BY p.menu_order ASC "; $sql .= "LIMIT 0, 10"; $rows = $wpdb->get_results($sql,OBJECT); if($rows) { foreach($rows as $row) { echo "<li>"; $link_url = get_permalink($row->ID); echo "<a href=\"$link_url\"" . "\">$row->post_title</a>"; echo "$row->meta_value"; echo "</li>"; } } } // Filter the menu to add the list function childtheme_page_menu() { ?> <div class="menu"> <ul> <?php if (is_front_page()) { ?> <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('home') ?>/" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ?>" rel="home"> Home This is the home page </a></li> <?php } else { ?> <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('home') ?>/" title="<?php echo wp_specialchars( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ?>" rel="home"> Home Return to the home page </a></li> <?php } ?> <?php sub_page_list(); ?> </ul> </div> <?php } add_filter('wp_page_menu','childtheme_page_menu');</code></pre> I thought I could get it to work by changing the opening li tag like this, but it just didnt work. Can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong? <pre><code>if($rows) { foreach($rows as $row) { echo "<li class="/post-<?php the_ID(); ?>/">"; $link_url = get_permalink($row->ID); echo "<a href=\"$link_url\"" . "\">$row->post_title</a>"; echo "$row->meta_value"; echo "</li>"; } } }</code></pre>
