3.0 Menu just hurt me big

How did you have menus working before? via a template tag or function? Which one?

This is my nav header which is no longer working. It’s in the template. The problem is that WordPress didn’t save any of my heirachical structure that I had set up with the menu. It would be nice if I could just put the parent categories in the new 3.0 menu plug-in and it recognized all the children below it and their children. I don’t even see an option for that.

<?php arras_above_nav() ?>
<div id="nav">
	<div id="nav-content" class="clearfix">

 <div id="searchbar">
		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
	     </div>

	<?php
	if ( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') ) {
		wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix') );
	} elseif ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
		pixopoint_menu();
	} else { ?>
		<ul class="sf-menu menu clearfix">
			<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>"><?php _e( arras_get_option('topnav_home') ); ?></a></li>
			<?php
			if (arras_get_option('topnav_display') == 'pages') {
				wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li=');
			} else if (arras_get_option('topnav_display') == 'linkcat') {
				wp_list_bookmarks('category='.arras_get_option('topnav_linkcat').'&hierarchical=0&show_private=1&hide_invisible=0&title_li=&categorize=0&orderby=name');
			} else {
				wp_list_categories('hierarchical=1&orderby=name&hide_empty=1&title_li=');
			}
			?>

		</ul>
	<?php } ?>

		<ul class="quick-nav clearfix">
			<?php if ($feed == '') : ?>
				<li><a id="rss" title="<?php printf( __( '%s RSS Feed', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>"><?php _e('RSS Feed', 'arras') ?></a></li>
			<?php else : ?>
				<li><a id="rss" title="<?php printf( __( '%s RSS Feed', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $feed; ?>"><?php _e('RSS Feed', 'arras') ?></a></li>
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php $twitter_username = arras_get_option('twitter_username'); ?>
			<?php if ($twitter_username != '') : ?>
				<li><a id="twitter" title="<?php printf( __( '%s Twitter', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="https://www.twitter.com/<?php echo $twitter_username ?>/"><?php _e('Twitter', 'arras') ?></a></li>
			<?php endif ?>

			<?php $facebook_profile = arras_get_option('facebook_profile'); ?>
			<?php if ($facebook_profile != '') : ?>
				<li><a id="facebook" title="<?php printf( __( '%s Facebook', 'arras' ), esc_html( get_bloginfo('name'), 1 ) ) ?>" href="<?php echo $facebook_profile ?>"><?php _e('Facebook', 'arras') ?></a></li>

			<?php endif ?>
		</ul>
	</div><!-- #nav-content -->
</div>

This also means that EVERY time I create a new sub-category, I will have to MANUALLY go in and enter it.

It looks like whoever wrote your code anticipated the 3.0 menus and calls wp_nav_menu, a function new to WP 3.0, if that function exists.

You can keep it from doing that (and thereby presumably use your previous system) by changing

if ( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') ) {
		wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix') );
	} elseif ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
		pixopoint_menu();

to

/*
	if ( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') ) {
		wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu menu clearfix') );
	} elseif ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
*/
	if ( function_exists('pixopoint_menu') ) {
		pixopoint_menu();

(I’m commenting out the code that calls wp_nav_menu)

AWESOME! Thank you very much. That was a huge help.

filosofo, that fixed the same problem for me. Thanks!

works like a charm!
Thank you so much!

Nice! Due to great result that you obtain with the Google Search I don′t have to expend a lot of time making changes.
Thanks again!
