I currently have two different custom menus. I want the first menu "Main" to be displayed at the top of the page as the top navigation. I want the second menu "Slider" under the slider.
I have this at the top:
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => '','container' => '',));?>
And somehow it's picking up the links in the first menu "Main" and showing it on top. Now I want to display the links from the 2nd menu under the slider
<?php register_nav_menu( 'Slider', 'Under Slider Navigation' ); ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'Slider','container' => '',));?>
And with this, it is showing every single page I Have in the nav bar. Please help.
try the below function
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'Slider' => __( 'Under Slider Navigation' ),
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Slider' ) ); ?>
register_nav_menus must be in array
Initialise the menu before you register it. Also, ideally this should go into functions.php
<?php function my_second_nav(){
wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'Slider','container' => '',))}
register_nav_menu( 'Slider', 'Under Slider Navigation' ); ?>
Then position it wherever you want
<?php my_second_nav(); ?>

I'm creating an one-page custom theme. I'm struggling with a custom menu, because I want to display custom links.
I've registered menu in functions.php file
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' ),
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
Then, I've displayed in header.php file like this:
<?php wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'top-menu',
'container' => 'ul',
'menu_class'=> 'd-flex main-menu'
) );
?>
I've added custom classes for ul tag, and that is okay. Navigation works but just for pages. When I create a page, a link for that page shows up in navigation. However, after creating custom links they don't appear in navigation.
I'm searching the Stachoverflow for some quiet time, but without success. How to resolve a described issue? Do you have an idea?
Thank you for your time.
You have register header menu with header-menu key and trying to get it by key of top-menu which is not possible. You have to use the header-menu key to add and get a header menu. we have updated the code. you can use this code.
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'header-menu',
'container' => 'ul',
'menu_class'=> 'd-flex main-menu'
) );
?>
I am trying to add a secondary menu to my Wordpress website. My goal is to display it at the very top of my website (https://cadinwebsite.wpcomstaging.com/), above the logo.
I have installed code snippets plugin and inserted the following code:
function wpb_custom_new_menu() {
register_nav_menu('my-custom-menu',__( 'My Custom Menu' ));
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpb_custom_new_menu' );
The code above works correctly and creates a new menu location in my "menus" dashboard.
But then, when I add the code below to display the newly created menu, my website crashes.
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'my-custom-menu',
'container_class' => 'custom-menu-class' ) );
?>
I also tried to input the second part of my code in the header section, but it doesn't work either. What I am doing wrong?
We have checked and you made mistake in your add action code, please check with below code, and try with that
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'register_my_menu' );
function register_my_menu() {
register_nav_menu( 'my-custom-menu', __( 'My Custom Menu', 'theme-text-domain' ) );
}
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme_location' => 'my-custom-menu',
'container_class' => 'custom-menu-class'
) );
I wanted to make custom WordPress theme from scratch so i deleted all my themes, and now the Menu is missing from appearance bar,
i tried adding add_theme_support( 'menus' ); code in functions.php file then my page itself is not opening.
Attached is the screenshot for your reference.
pls help
You need to registered menu using register_nav_menus() in after_setup_theme action hook.
Please check below code. it help you to create two type of menu display location
function custom_theme_setup() {
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => esc_html__( 'Primary Menu', 'nepalbuzz' ),
'footer' => esc_html__( 'Footer Menu', 'nepalbuzz' ),
) );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'custom_theme_setup' );
This code goes to your custom theme function.php file
For display menu used wp_nav_menu() function.
if ( has_nav_menu( 'primary' ) ) {
$args = array(
'theme_location' => 'primary',
'menu_class' => 'menu nepalbuzz-nav-menu',
'container' => false
);
wp_nav_menu( $args );
}
This code goes to your custom theme file where you want to display menu
Use this in your functions.php
register_nav_menus(
array('header_menu' =>'This is Header Menu'));
to display this menu use this code where you want to display your menu
wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location'=>'header_menu','container'=>''));
Please use register_nav_menus()
So that you can create a custom Menu for your theme. Like
function register_theme_menu() {
register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'theme-slug' ) );
}
After that add the menu by "after_setup_theme" hook like
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'register_theme_menu' );
The full code is like in you fuctions.php file.
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'register_theme_menu' );
function register_theme_menu() {
register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'theme-slug' ) );
}

I am building my 1st theme, and got stucked with showing menu option on admin's screen under appearance. I refered various support thread but none of the solution is working for me.
Codes in function.php
<?php
//Create Nav menu
if (function_exists(register_nav_menus)) {
register_nav_menus( array('primary' => 'Header Navigation') );
}
?>
Codes in header.php
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'main-nav' , 'container'=>'nav') );
?>
I am executing this on localserver and wordpress version 4.0

Thats all of it.
Please help me out.
First rename function.php to functions.php , note the the "s". http://codex.wordpress.org/Functions_File_Explained
Second try registering the menu inside a hook like init or after_theme_setup
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'register_my_menu' );
function register_my_menu() {
register_nav_menu( 'primary', 'Header Navigation' );
}
You're missing some arguments (and a comma in your array). You need to pass in a menu name:
$args = array(
'menu' => 'primary',
'container' => 'nav',
'container_class' => 'main-nav',
);
wp_nav_menu( $args );
Also be aware that this menu must exist in the admin, and must be assigned to the menu location you just created.
I am following this guide to "Add additional support for menus in your theme":
http://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus
I followed all of the steps, but this is the result:
http://puu.sh/30bMt.png
So, it's "inserting a menu" where I told it to.... however the items on the menu do not match up with what I have in the WordPress back-end, seen here...
http://puu.sh/30bQd.png
I only inserted 4 items into the menu "Test"... but it's displaying every page, instead of the 4 items I want.
I've attempted to do research to figure out what's going on to no avail; does anybody have any insight as to why this is acting funky?
Code where I'm "registering" the additional menu support... (themes function.php):
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' )
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
Code where I'm inserting the "Header Menu" itself... (themes header.php):
<?php
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'extra-menu', 'container_class' =>'my_extra_menu_class' ) );
?>
If you are trying to call 'Header Menu' then the code in your header.php should look like this:
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'header-menu', 'menu_class' => 'my_extra_menu_class')); ?>
I'm not sure where you got 'extra-menu' from but WordPress doesn't know what that is since you didn't declare that in your register_my_menus function.
I hope that helps.
Here's an example of how I've implemented multiple menus in my WordPress install:
// Register Extra Menus
function new_register_menus() {
register_nav_menus(array('Products'=>'Products Nav', 'Support'=>'Support Nav', 'Company'=>'Company Nav' , 'Footer'=>'Footer Nav'));
}
add_action( 'init' , 'new_register_menus' );
//Code in my footer.php
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'Footer', 'menu_class' => 'nav')); ?>
