This actually didn’t fix the nav bar issue. I had to explicitly set it in the header.php file.

Hi

So have you managed to solve your issue?

I just realized I fixed the nav issue on the desktop version but now I’ve found the links aren’t populating on the mobile nav.

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

Have you assigned the menu to your mobile menu?

Yup, this is the code from the header.php file.

`<!– OPEN #main-navigation –>
<nav id=”main-navigation”>

<?php
if(function_exists(‘wp_nav_menu’)) {
wp_nav_menu(array(
‘theme_location’ => ‘Main_Navigation’,
‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_page_menu’,
‘menu’ => ‘Navigation’
)); }
?>

<!– CLOSE #main-navigation –>
</nav>

<!– OPEN #mobile-navigation –>
<nav id=”mobile-navigation”>
<span class=”selected-option”><?php _e(“- Menu -“, “swiftframework”); ?></span>
<?php
dropdown_menu( array(

‘theme_location’ => ‘Main_Navigation’,
‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_page_menu’,
‘menu’ => ‘Navigation’,

// You can alter the blanking text eg. “- Navigate -” using the following
‘dropdown_title’ => ‘– Menu –‘,

// indent_string is a string that gets output before the title of a
// sub-menu item. It is repeated twice for sub-sub-menu items and so on
‘indent_string’ => ‘- ‘,

// indent_after is an optional string to output after the indent_string
// if the item is a sub-menu item
‘indent_after’ => ”

) );
?>
<!– CLOSE #mobile-navigation –>
</nav>`

What issue were you having with the navigation bar? What did you change to resolve it?

Hi Ed,

The child theme worked without error when I implemented your instructions to change the functions.php file. The problem is the nav bar wasn’t appearing on desktop and mobile. I fixed the desktop nav by explicitly setting the ‘menu’ parameter.

<?php
if(function_exists(‘wp_nav_menu’)) {
wp_nav_menu(array(
‘theme_location’ => ‘Main_Navigation’,
‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_page_menu’,
‘menu’ => ‘Navigation’
)); }
?>

But haven’t been able to render the mobile nav with this code:

dropdown_menu( array(

‘theme_location’ => ‘Main_Navigation’,
‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_page_menu’,
‘menu’ => ‘Navigation’,

// You can alter the blanking text eg. “- Navigate -” using the following
‘dropdown_title’ => ‘– Menu –’,

// indent_string is a string that gets output before the title of a
// sub-menu item. It is repeated twice for sub-sub-menu items and so on
‘indent_string’ => ‘- ‘,

// indent_after is an optional string to output after the indent_string
// if the item is a sub-menu item
‘indent_after’ => ”

) );

Did you set the menu for the main navigation location in Appearance > Menus > Menu Locations?

– Ed

[feezy9]

That worked! Didn’t know that setting existed. Thanks Ed!
