Is there a way to display a menu using the ol tag instead of the default ul tag?

Question

I'm trying to display a menu using wp_nav_menu(). The default markup that the function generates is a menu parented by a <ul> tag like so:

<ul>
    <li><a>Menu 1</a></li>
    <li><a>Menu 2</a></li>
    <li><a>Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>

My question is, is there a way to display a menu using the <ol> tag instead of the default <ul> tag?

You can make use of the items_wrap parameter to achieve this. For example like this:

'items_wrap' => '<ol id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ol>'

More information at codex: wp_nav_menu.

This answer makes the top-most level <ul> into <ol>. However, submenus will still be rendered using <ul>

Then you have to extend and customize the Walker_Nav_Menu class. Take a look around there are plenty of answers concerning this around. @AbelMelquiadesCallejo
