How To Remove The UL Tag From The WordPress Menu

 — 

Trying to remove the ul tag, including containers around the menu? All you may need is to pass in an items_wrap into your wp_nav_menu() function’s argument.

Removing the navigation's ul tag

To add your custom container around the wp_nav_menu() function, simply copy and paste the code below to your theme’s menu location file.

<nav>
     <ul>
          <?php
               wp_nav_menu( array(
                    'theme_location' => 'primary',
                    'container' => false,
                    'items_wrap' => '%3$s'
               ) );
          ?>
          <li class="new-list-item">Your new list item</li>
     </ul>
</nav>

Note that we’ve passed in container and items_wrap into the wp_nav_menu() function’s arguments.
