register_nav_menus not working

[christian_gnoth]

I am using in my theme:

  if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) ) 
  {
    register_nav_menus( 
            array( 
                'header-menu' => 'Header Menu', 
                'extra-menu' => 'Extra Menu'
                 )
    );
  }

this two locations are not displayed in the wp admin menu srea.
there is no locations box at all - also no option to activate/deactivate it.

Trac is not your personal support forum.

You won't see the locations box until you create a menu.

And you need to ensure that you call the function on a relevant hook not just at inclusion time.

i called the register nav menus function on different places of my function.php file:

in the add_action('init') method,
in the functions.php file without a wrapping function,
in the add_action('after_theme_setup') method

but it does not appear in the wp admin menus page.

I can print it with wp_nav_menu() - but as it does not appear in the admin panel I can not configure it.

in the forum I have already posted this subject and got a lot of answers, but no solution for this problem.

I upgraded my blog from wp_mu to wp 3.0 and then to 3.0.1, but this menu locations I never saw.

If you'd like to link me to the support thread, I can take a look. But we're not continuing this here. I've been pretty clear:

Please stop using tickets for support questions. We're not answering them anymore.

[christian_gnoth]

indeed all the other problems could have been solved by the support forums, but mostly I did not got an answer/respond to my questions.

here the forum thread to this problem:

[christian_gnoth]

can you please take a look at this thread??? if i do not get any help from the forum and there is no solution I can only open the problems as bugs.
I have other threads in the forums too to which I do not get help and answers....

As I am developing themes and plugins for wordpress I need some support if functions are not working as expected or described in the documentation. (indeed most of this closed tickets are misunderstanding of the docs from my side).

[nacin]

can you please take a look at this thread???

I will consider it. But in order for that to happen,

if i do not get any help from the forum and there is no solution I can only open the problems as bugs.

Then you need to stop doing this. End of discussion.
