Step 1 – Modify the file functions.php

 

Note: Be careful not to duplicate this feature if your theme supports this functionality natively. Therefore made a preliminary search using the Find command of your browser.

 

As often, we need to edit the functions.php file in the folder / wp-content/themes/Your_Theme_name/functions.php accessible via an FTP client.

You can also go through the module and then Appearance Editor to Menu.

End of file, add the following lines of code:

 

 

<? Php
add_action (‘init’, ‘register_my_menus’);
register_my_menus function () {
register_nav_menus (
array (‘top-navigation’ => __ (‘Top’), ‘footer-menu’ => __ (‘Footer’))
);
}
?>

 

This snippet will create the effect of two locations for your theme and menu to initialize the function menu creations.

 

 

Step 2 – Changing Your WordPress Theme

 

Obviously, this technique presumes to have inserted into your theme, the function that will display the menu in question.

 

<? Wp_nav_menu php (array (‘theme_location’ => ‘Top’));?>

 

This command will then display the Top Menu you can create / modify from the WordPress admin. A generally insert into the header.php file.

 

Step 3 – Select the location of menus

 

Then return to Appearance then Menus. Note the appearance of a new box containing the parameters under locations. A drop down list you can then select the menu display:
