Adding a secondary horizontal menu

  • Hi

    I am looking a way to add a horizontal secondary menu in my theme. I have tried adding

    add_action( 'init', 'register_secondary_menu' );
function register_secondary_menu() {
    if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menu' ) ) {
        register_nav_menu( 'secondary-menu', 'Secondary Menu' );
    }
}

add_action('__header', 'display_secondary_menu', 1000, 0);
function display_secondary_menu() {
	echo ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary-menu' ) ? wp_nav_menu (
        array (
            'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu',
			'container_id'    => 'secondary-menu',
			'container_class'    => 'secondary-menu'
        )
    ).'<div class="clearall"></div>' : '' );
}

    in my child theme. This has created a new menu location. But when I assign some menu to that location it is still not displayed.

    I am using twentyFourteen theme on a localhost PC

  • are you placing the wp_nav_menu in the theme or functions.php. It should be placed at the location in the theme where you want the menu to be located. The register_nav_menu belongs in the functions.php.

    I have placed it in the functions.php of my child theme

    What theme are you using? Does your theme define __header as an action hook (i.e., by calling do_action( '__header' ) at some point)?

    The wp_nav_menu function doesn’t go in the functions.php file. You need to place it in the theme where you want the menu to appear. It acts like a place holder for the menu.

    Where I EXACTLY have to place it?

    In the head section or at the end of the header
