My navigation menus are stuck!

    I’m creating a theme where I’m using two menus in the header. One menu is called “Primary” and the other is called “Secondary”. After I’ve registered the two menus in functions like so:

    function azb_menu() {
   register_nav_menus(
	array(
	  'primary' => __( 'Primary Menu' ),
	  'secondary' => __( 'Secondary Menu' )
	)
   );
} add_action( 'init', 'azb_menu' );

    then called it in my header.php like so:

    <div class="primary">
   <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Primary Menu' ) ); ?>
</div>
<div class="secondary">
   <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'Secondary Menu' ) ); ?>
</div>

    I get duplicated “Sample Page” in both menus. When I looked at the source I found that the html is exactly the same. This is the source:

    <div class="primary">
   <div class="menu">
    <ul>
      <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="https://azb2.local/sample-page/">Sample Page</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</div>
<div class="secondary">
   <div class="menu">
    <ul>
      <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="https://azb2.local/sample-page/">Sample Page</a>
      </li>
   </ul>
  </div>
</div>

    Not sure what in heck is going on, but I can’t figure out why they are the same, and why, when I add new items to the menu they aren’t showing up!

    Use the registered array key for the theme location arg, not the value
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', ) );

    The value is for display purposes in the UI, the key is like the location’s slug.

    Sigh. It doesn’t help that I’ve been starring at this stuff for hours upon hours. Sometimes even the simplest things get me all in a kerfuffle. Thanks, BC – Sure do appreciate you.

    I know how that goes. Nothing like an extra set of eyes to spot a glitch!
