9,995 Pointswp_nav_menu Manage locations issue
I was working on the wp_nav_menu lesson for the Wordpress Theme development course, and I seem to have run into a minor problem. When adding them_support and then using the register_nav_menus function, I seem to be missing something as my Manage Locations tab won't come up next to the Edit Menus tab in the dashboard of my Wordpress site. I'm sure I am missing some small item such as a semicolon, but I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong with it. I posted the code below. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks guys!
<?php
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
function register_theme_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'primary-menu' => _( 'Primary Menu' )
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus()' );

31,709 Pointsyou only need to pass in the name of the function with add_action, you don't need to try and call the function. Simply remove the parentheses and it should work.
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus' );
