Walker::end_el() WordPress Method
The Walker::end_el() method is used to close an element started with Walker::start_el(). This is typically an HTML tag.
Walker::end_el( string $output, object $data_object, int $depth, array $args = array() ) #
Ends the element output, if needed.
Description
The $args parameter holds additional values that may be used with the child class methods.
Parameters
- $output
(string)(Required)Used to append additional content (passed by reference).
- $data_object
(object)(Required)The data object.
- $depth
(int)(Required)Depth of the item.
- $args
(array)(Optional)An array of additional arguments.
Default value: array()
More Information
This method is abstract and should be explicitly defined in the child class, as needed. Also note that $output is passed by reference, so any changes made to the variable within the following methods are automatically handled (no return, echo, or print needed).
“End Element”. Generally, this method is used to add any closing HTML tag for a single tree item (such as </li>, </span>, or </a>) to $output. Note that elements are not ended until after all of their children have been added.
