Different main menu on different pages

[tompickle]

Hey Jason,

Is it possible to have a different main menu on two different pages in Alyeska? I have a sub page that I need a different top menu for.

Thanks,

Tom

Hello,

There’s not really going to be an easy answer on this one, unfortuantely. You’d have to first register a menu, like we talked about on your last question.

But then, the actual menu function of Alyeska, alyeska_header_menu() found in /includes/theme-functions.php, does not have any kind of filter on the theme_location argument of wp_nav_menu().

So you’re going to have to setup your own version of alyeska_header_menu() from your Child theme’s functions.php —

In your custom version of the above function, you could possibly use WordPress conditionals, to display different instances of the wp_nav_menu function —

Thanks for the reply Jason, I’ll see if I can figure that out 🙂
