   Hi,

   I am currently helping to build a site here: http://preview.screencult.com

   I have created a secondary menu by inputting this into functions.php:

   // This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in two locations.   
   
   	register_nav_menus( array(
     		'primary' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'twentyten' ),
     		'secondary' => __('Secondary Navigation', 'twentyten')
   	) );

   However, I just want the secondary menu (without the primary menu) to appear on one particular page on the site. Where do I place the following code and how to add necessary conditional tags to make sure it only appears on one page?

   <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); ?>

   Many thanks, I tried searching for the answer already so my bad if it exists somewhere else.

   You can use the conditional tag is_page() to check when you are on a particular page (by entering the page ID as a parameter). See here for more details:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags#A_PAGE_Page

   The code you need will be something like this:

   if ( is_page('42') )
   {
     if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) )
     { wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); }
   }

   Here '42' is the page id that the menu will appear on ONLY, other pages no menu will be displayed. Also, the has_nav_menu will check that the 'secondary' menu exists.

   Just add the code to your template file wherever you need it (i.e. header.php or elsewhere), or better still add it as a function in functions.php and reference it from your theme files.

   Awesome thank you. Sorry to be rather obvious but how would I go about putting it into functions.php?

   Also having read the link you provided would it work if I inputted:

   if ( is_page('not_yet') )
   {
     if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) )
     { wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); }
   }

   for the page I want (the slug for the page is 'not_yet'). Or is it best to use page id because it comes up as a ?post=853 instead of ?page=853

   Many thanks.

   If it comes up as post_id then you want the menu to show on a particular post not page? If so you will need to use is_single() not is_page(). So be clear whether it is a WordPress post or page you wish to display the secondary menu on.

   To embed in the functions.php file simply add the code to a function, for example:

   function show_menu() {
     if ( is_page('not_yet') )
     {
       if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) )
         { wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); }
     }
   }

   Then just add the show_menu() function to the functions.php file and you should be good to go!

   Ok awesome stuff again thanks so much but I do want it to apply to a page. However when I access that page in WP admin to find it's id, the url shows: http://preview.screencult.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=853&action=edit

   So I am a little perplexed there. Any ideas why that is, or is it safe to have is_page('853') or am I missing something blatant?

   Many thanks :D

   Should be fine to use '853' or the slug, as the is_page function will take both. Best way is to try it and see!

   So as a total noob... I can't get my head wrapped around it.

   So this is what I have so far and can't get my 2nd menu to appear.

   File: functions.php

   if (function_exists('register_nav_menus')) {
   		register_nav_menus(
   			array(
   				'main_nav' => 'Main Navigation Menu',
   				'product_nav' => 'Product Menu'
   			)
   		);
   	}
   
   	function show_menu() {
   	  if ( is_page('products') )
   	  {
   	    if ( has_nav_menu( 'product_nav' ) )
   	      { wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'product_nav' ) ); }
   	  }
   	}

   What do I enter in my page.php to display Product Menu? I want the 2nd menu to be visible only on product page only.

   Please help
