Thanks John, worked great, much more reliable than using :last-child pseudo class.

Hi Konstantin, Yes it is clean code, nice work.

Although it could get called quite a few times in an execution, not that this would be an issue with most WP builds.

Wouldn’t you agree, that this is much cleaner:
function add_last_item_class( $items ) { $items[count($items)]->classes[] = 'last'; return $items; } add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'add_last_item_class' );

Great post but i use the solution of @Pawiksd and, for me, is faster and easier.

Anyway, good tips.

@Pawiksd
Not all versions of Internet explorer support child selectors.

Great work:)

I’m using CSS to do that trick.

.menu li:first-child{
…
}
.menu li:last-child{
…
}

best regards

Hi just to say I sorted my problem.. I didn’t realise in WP 3 you can assign your own class to any menu item form the ‘screen options’ when in the menu page in the backend. (sweet!)

Hi, really useful script, however I’m now needing it to apply an inline style to the class=” and not to the id att which your script seems to do.. any ideas? thanks.
