Description

After the update to 4.1 our menu "broke" (http://www.pendleheritage.co.uk) - after some investigation I found the problem

We have many menus, but the one for the homepage (at the top) was called main_menu. It was still set as the main menu in appearance > menus > manage locations, however, it was not displaying on the website. Instead another menu was showing.

After some tests I found that the first menu (alphabetically) was the one displayed. In this case that was "archaeology posts" - I deleted that menu and then the menu defaulted to "Conservation events" and so on. As a temporary fix I renamed the main menu to "a menu" so it is the first, alphabetically.

  • Keywords reporter-feedback added
  • Version changed from 4.1 to 3.0

This sounds like a duplicate of #29927, which also appears to be invalid. Perhaps the theme_location argument is not set during the call to wp_nav_menu()?
