From

Navigation Menus

1. We Register Menus

First, in your theme's functions.php, you need to write a function to register the names of your menus. (This is how they will appear in the Appearance -> Menus admin screen.) As an example, this menu would appear in the "Theme Locations" box as "Header Menu".

• function register_my_menu() { 

• register_nav_menu('header-menu',__( 'Header Menu' )); 

• } 

• add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' ); 

And this would make two menu options appear, header menu and extra menu -

• function register_my_menus() { 

• register_nav_menus( 

• array( 

• 'header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' ), 

• 'extra-menu' => __( 'Extra Menu' ) 

• ) 

• ); 

• } 

• add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' ); 

2. We add to Theme

• <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'header-menu' ) ); ?>
