 * Is there a way to include menu descriptions in Max Mega Menu. I’ve added the 
   description output in the walker.class.php file for now, but know this isn’t 
   the best way.

 * Hi Don,
 * There’s no official support (yet), but you can try adding this to your themes
   functions.php rather than modifying the walker.
 *     ```
       function megamenu_item_description( $item_output, $item, $depth, $args ) {
           if ( property_exists($item, 'description') && strlen($item->description) ) {
               $item_output = str_replace( $args->link_after . '</a>', '<div class="menu-item-description">' . $item->description . '</div>' . $args->link_after . '</a>', $item_output );
           }
           return $item_output;
       }
   
       add_filter( 'megamenu_walker_nav_menu_start_el', 'megamenu_item_description', 10, 4 );
       ```

 * Thanks, Tom. Worked like a charm.
 * Any plans to roll description support into the plugin in the future?
