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.

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?
My submenu is not displaying. I've tried all the possible wp_nav_menu php, but I just can't get my submenu to show up.
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'navigation' )); ?>
And you have checked your CSS? Most of the time it's just a display:none-problem.
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.
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 :)
I have created a menu in Drupal 7 and created links to pages under that menu.
I named my new menu "Site Menu"
In my page.tpl.php where I want my menu to appear I have put this in place:
<?php print theme('links', menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu')); ?>
After I have cleared my cache and refreshed my page my menu doesn't appear.
I am stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Berdir answer is correct. Drupal 7 theme_links function also more vastly uses arrays. For example if you would like to add another class name to the so that it is you would code it like this:
<?php print theme('links', array('links' => menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu'), 'attributes' => array('class'=> array('links', 'site-menu')) ));?>
theme() now recieves an array of arguments. For example:
<?php
print theme('links', array('links' => menu_navigation_links('menu-site-menu')));
?>
Well, it is bit confusing from above solutions to print menu. But below code worked for me, hope this will work for y'all,
$search_menu_name = "menu-search-box-menu";
print theme('links', array('links' => menu_navigation_links($search_menu_name), 'attributes' => array('id' => $search_menu_name, 'class'=> array('links', 'inline'))));
The above code is like this, "menu-search-box-menu" is my custom menu name/ID. You can find it in that particular menu edit link.
Enjoy. :)
