wp menu displays in the wrong location after adding a new menu - wordpress

I have done this million times before and I have no clue what is going on now. I've had one navigation menu, client asked me to add another one and the whole thing collapsed. After I added second navigation, added some pages to it and assigned it to the right location, the first menu appears in the location of the second one, and in the location of the first again it is the first menu.
Here is my register nav code in functions.php:
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => __( 'Top navigacija', 'wpfme' ),
'above' => __( 'Above header', 'wpfme' ),
) );
Here is the placement of both in the header.php file:
<div class="left" id="kkk_top">
<p><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Above header' )); ?>
</p>
</div><!-- #kkk-top -->
<div id="main_navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Top navigacija' )); ?>
</div><!-- #main_navigation -->
I should also add that menu that now appears in the Above header location is wrapped in the div with the dynamic id it had when there was no second navigation, and menu that now appears in the Top navigacija location is wrapped in a div with a new dynamic id.

I just deleted the second menu and created it again, placed it in the new theme location and now it s all cool... when in doubt always reboot :)

switch menu to be displayed with menu toggle wordpress

I have two separate menus that are displayed when my page is shown full screen but when displaying on phones and smaller screens I would like to use just one menu that holds links to pages from both of the original menus.
To do this I have created a third menu that holds links to all the pages and would like this third menu to display when the wordpress menu toggle action fires.
However I am at a loss as to how to get the third menu to display in place of the main navigation menu which seems to come up by default.
The code in my header so far is simply as follows: (this doesn't show the second menu code as that is shown elsewhere on the page)
<nav id="site-navigation" class="navigation main-navigation" role="navigation">
<a class="screen-reader-text skip-link" href="#content" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Skip to content', 'twentythirteen' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentythirteen' ); ?></a>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentythirteen' ); ?></h3>
</nav>
At the moment this correctly displays the main navigation menu as I want it to in full screen and then also displays this same menu again with the menu toggle function as smaller sizes. However I want the third menu to show up instead at the smaller sizes and I have tried all sorts of variations between the h3 tags to try to make the menu I want show up but can't crack it!
I can actually get the menu I want to display by doing the following but the menu I don't want is also displayed!
<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentythirteen' ); ?><?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'small-screen-nav-menu', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?></h3>
I have been in to functions.php as well as navigation.js but can't seem to find where the menu to use is being defined and therefore can't find where to change it - any help would be massively appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
use media queries to show or hide things:
#media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {
#site-navigation{display:none;}
h3.menu-toggle{display:block;}
}

Wordpress custom theme - menu not showing when called in footer.php

I'm trying to create custom website theme for Wordpress and I ran into a bit of a problem. I use two absolutely same menus in my header and footer part of website.
Calling
wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'header'));
in header.php works well, the menu prints out without any problem, but if I do the same in my footer.php file, the menu doesn't print and var_dump(wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'header'))); prints false.
I've tried some workarounds that I found on Google with modifying the functions.php file, but none of them helped me resolve that problem. My functions.php file now consists of only one line
register_nav_menus( array( 'header' => 'Header menu', 'footer' => 'Footer menu' ) );
and yes, I tried to use
wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'footer'))
as well, with same result. If I call the same function from header.php
wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => 'footer'))
the menu works good.
You have registered you two nav menus correctly. I always do that within my initial theme setup hook that gets hooked to the after_setup_theme hook. So I would do something like this in your functions.php:
function pietergoosen_theme_setup() {
register_nav_menus( array(
'header' => 'Header menu',
'footer' => 'Footer menu'
) );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'pietergoosen_theme_setup' );
Keep in mind, you don't have to do it this way. The following also works
register_nav_menus( array(
'header' => 'Header menu',
'footer' => 'Footer menu'
) );
You should now see the two menus in the backend under "Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations" (Only if a menu exist)
For the sake of the footer menu, add the following code in your footer where you need to display the menu:
<nav id="footer-navigation" class="site-navigation footer-navigation" role="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'footer', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu', 'fallback_cb' => false ) ); ?>
</nav>
At this stage nothing will be displayed, and I think this is where you also get stuck at. The reason for this is that there aren't any items assigned to the menu, and if there are nothing assigned to a menu, then nothing will be displayed. So we have to insert something to be displayed.
In the backend, go to "Appearance > Menus > Edit Menus". In the "Menu Name" field, enter a name for your menu and click "Create Menu". You will now be able to add the menu in the menu screen.
You can now choose items from the left hand side to insert into your menu. You can also set the location of the menu, in this case in the footer. I've selected to display the categories in the footer. Click "Save Menu" when done.
You should now see your nav menu in the front end.
You just have to add styling to your nav bar now. You will do exactly the same for the header nav menu, accept you will add the call to the menu in the header.php. I hope you find this usefull.
So I’m producing my second WP theme and I’ve struck a problem. As well as the standard Nav menu at the top of my pages, the Footer element contains three individual sub-menus that can be loaded with individual entries. These are broken into three areas: Product Range, Industry Type and Services. The source code on footer.php is thus:
<div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left">
<h3>Product Range</h3>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'product-range', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left">
<h3>Industry Type</h3>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'industry-type', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left">
<h3>Services</h3>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'services', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?>
</div>
In functions.php I have included:
*Add footer Menus
*/
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'product-range' => __( 'Product Range' ),
'industry-types' => __( 'Industry Types' ),
'services' => __( 'Services' )
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
The output to all three menus is identical, and it is not what I want:

The top two items I added in the CMS, the remainder are automatically generated form somewhere else?
What gives?

Attach a specific menu to a specific page

In my Wordpress website:
I have two pages, one is in Deutsch and one is in English.
I have two menus, same deal.
I would like to display the english menu when browsing the page in English and display the deutsch menu when browsing the page in Deutsch.
I cannot use any multilingual pluging unfortunately.
Is there any way to achieve this with a basic wordpress installation?
Why can't you use a multi-language plugin?
Assuming you're right about the idea of not being able to use such a plugin, two solutions come to mind:
Use custom fields and conditional logic to display one menu or another
Use page templates to display different menus
You can override the layout of a page by creating a file called page-{slug}.php or page-{id}.php, in which {slug} and {id} should be substituted for the slug or id of the page you wish to make a template for. In this page template you could copy the original layout, but alter the wp_nav_menu command to select a different menu.
There are a few other ways to do it, but those two seem like sensible options to me.
Try this one:
Put this code in header.php while calling navigation menu:
<?php if (is_front_page()) { ?>
<div id='frontPageBanner'>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header-1', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
</div>
<?php } elseif (is_archive()) { ?>
<div id='archiveBanner'>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header-2', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
</div>
<?php } elseif ( is_page($pageID)) { ?>
<div id='pageIdBanner'>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header-1', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) ); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
Thanks.

How do I get second level menu in Wordpress?

I'm over 2 hours trying many functions (wp_list_pages, get_pages, wp_nav_menu) and several functions but can't resolve this thing out.
I have created pages that are THREE level deep:
PAGE level1
SUBPAGE level2
SUBPAGE level3
and I need to display a separate menu for each of them like:
MENU1 (all top-level pages)
MENU2 (all sub-pages of CURRENT top level page)
MENU3 (all sub pages of current item from MENU2)
it should not be that complicated for a CMS like Wordpress but I think I'm over-complicating possible solutions.
Do you have some suggestions on possible ways to achieve that?
Thanks.
First of all you have to define accordance between menu items and pages. I can't define this accordance from your question. What if you have two level2 subpages and two menu2 items? Which menu item belongs to which subpage?
Then the process is trivial. You can get all menu items
$menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($cur_menu, array());
And check menu_item_parent field to found parent items
foreach ($menu_items as $item) {
if ($item->menu_item_parent === $parent_id) {
//this is child of $parent_id
}
}
If you are using the the WordPress Function register_nav_menus() , it should be fairly simple.
In your functions.php file you'll need to register 3 separate menu's, something like this:
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array( 'first' => 'first', 'second' => 'second', 'third' => 'third', )
);
}
?>
With the menu's now registered you just need to place them where they go in your theme files like so:
The First Menu (maybe in the header.php file)
<div id="menu">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'first' ) ); ?>
</div>
The Second Menu (maybe in the sidebar.php file)
<div id="menu">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'second' ) ); ?>
</div>
The Third Menu (maybe in the footer.php file)
<div id="menu">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'third' ) ); ?>
</div>
The final step is to go to Appearance>Menu's and create the 3 menu's, name them and choose the pages that will go with them from within the Admin Menu Settings.

Why aren't my drupal 7 submenu's showing?

I can't seem to get my sub-menus to display.
I've gone to: Home » Administration » Structure » Menus
Then, I've edited the parent menu and checked the tickbox that says "Show as expanded" - but still nothing.
The code on my page.tpl.php page for the navigation I'm referring to, is as follows:
<?php
if ($page['navigation'] || $main_menu):
?>
<?php
print theme('links__system_main_menu', array(
'links' => $main_menu,
'attributes' => array(
'id' => 'nav',
'class' => array('links', 'clearfix'),
),
'heading' => array(
'text' => t('Main menu'),
'level' => 'h2',
'class' => array('element-invisible'),
),
));
?>
<?php
print render($page['navigation']);
?>
<?php
endif;
?>
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Make sure that the parent menu "Show as expanded" attribute is checked.
Go to admin/structure/menu/item/MENU_ITEM_ID/edit, and check "Show as expanded"
Instead of using the $main_menu variable, you can use the main-menu block, which is generated with the menu.
If you put the "Main menu" block into the "Navigation" region at admin/structure/block, print render($page['navigation']) in the page.tpl.php will print out the complete menu, including its sub menu items (children).
Just make sure you tick the "Show as expanded" option in the parent menu link.
Lastly, remove the "print theme" stuff, otherwise you end up with double menu's.
the page.tpl.php will look something like this:
<?php if ($page['navigation']): ?>
<div id="navigation"><div class="section clearfix">
<?php print render($page['navigation']); ?>
</div></div><!-- /.section, /#navigation -->
<?php endif; ?>
The stark theme out-of-the-box doesn't show submenuus in it's main menu either (2011/04).
If you however go to admin/structure/blocks, and drag the menu block to the header region in the stark theme, it has submenus.
You'll also have two menus then, the original one without submenus and the new one with submenus. You can disable the original one in admin/appearance/stark/settings.
