WordPress Menu & Walker for ZURB's Foundation 4 Sections

readme.txt

Adding a Foundation Horizontal or Vertical Section to WordPress as a menu
---

foundation-section-menu.php and foundation-section-walker.php should be included in the WordPress functions.php file.
 
The code in foundation-sectionr.php should be added to a template (ie. header.php)
Note: replace horizontal with vertical for the vertical section
 
Setup a menu in WordPress admin under Appearance > Menus

👍 Thank you so very much! Now I just need to see if I can tweak it into an accordion!

You're welcome! I think the section classes are fairly interchangeable. Just use accordion instead of horizontal. Also uncomment line 55 of the walker and delete line 56 :)

double awesome! It is working splendidly.

This is so useful – how can I also include grandchildren of the parent item? Currently, it breaks (closes the list too early) the menu when there is more than one set of grandchildren.
