Hi Guys,

Recently I need to implement multiple menu in wordpress. Often we comes in the situation where theme support only 1 menu whereas we need more than it. There is simple way I found in wordpress to do it by changes in few lines of code.

register_nav_menus function is the primary menu (default menu in wordpress), you can find in function.php file. You need to copy paste it for footer menu (for example).

<?php
// This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
register_nav_menus( array(
    'primary' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'twentyten' ),
) );

register_nav_menus( array(
	'footer' => __( 'Footer Navigation', 'twentyten' ),
) );
?>

Now you just need to call a simple function for footer menu in footer.php (or your desired location may be in header.php)

 <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'footer-menu', 'theme_location' => 'footer' ) ); ?>

Now go to appearance->menus for setting links under footer menu.

That’s It.

Hope this tutorial help you to build multiple menus on your desired location.

Note: menus tab available in wordpress 3.0 or latest versions.
