I've got a WP 3.4.2 site running on a HostGator server using a theme called Blogolife. Everything's working fine, except that the facility to use a custom menu is broken. If I go into Appearance > Menus and create a named menu, with any content (pages, custom links, both or neither), Save it, then select the menu in Theme Locations and hit Save, the entire menu disappears from the site. If I select the blank (default) menu and hit Save, the menu returns.

I thought this might be a theme issue, but I used Live Preview with Twenty Eleven and selected my named menu, and the menu went away there too!

What could be going wrong? Could it be something on the server side? (Bad file or directory permissions, something like that?)

Please add debug information to your question to make answers possible. – toscho♦ Oct 11 '12 at 3:34
I turned on debugging, turned on the menu, and refreshed. I got some errors, but all from plugins. Nothing seemingly relevant to the menus. – Harlan Oct 11 '12 at 3:45

Disable all plugins. Does it still happen? Try to narrow it down, so we can help you. – toscho♦ Oct 11 '12 at 3:54

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

How about manually call your nav menu? And replace the code in your template with this

wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Menu name' ));

see this http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu

Ah, it was a plugin, WP Meetup, which fortunately we'd decided not to use! I disabled the plugin, and we're good to go! Toscho, thanks very much for prodding me in this direction!
