Here is what I try to achieve.
I have two menus. One is going to be a top navigation that lists all the pages, and the other one is going to list post categories.
in my header.php, I included the following code to generate menus for pages.
wp_nav_menu( array(
'container' => 'ul',
'menu_class' => 'mainNav',
'theme-location' => 'Pages'
) );
and in the body of my index.php, I included the following code to generate menus for post categories.
wp_nav_menu( array(
'theme-location' => 'Categories'
) );
inside my function.php file, the following code is included to register theme locations so I can customize and edit menus in Wordpress dashboard.
register_nav_menus(array(
'Pages' => __('Pages Menu'),
'Categories' => __('Categories Menu')
));
Then I created two menus and specified which menu should appear in which location.
However, the menu for pages (whose theme-location is 'Pages') is overridden by the menu for post categories (whose theme-location is 'Categories'). If I delete the menu for post categories, then the menu for pages show up.
I have been searching everywhere to see if anyone had a similar issue and resolved it and tried their solutions, but nothing has worked out so far for me.
