Did something change in the new version that would affect the menu’s CSS, selectors, IDs, classes etc???
No.
The WP upgrade should not have changed my CSS, correct?
Correct.
Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

Thanks Esmi. I was aware it’s not error-free. Most of the markup and CSS erros are from 3rd party components (verisign and plugins). Plus those errors are nowhere near the menus in the code. They are unrelated to the menus, so I seriously doubt they are the cause of the bad menu rendering. Plus, it all rendered perfectly moments before I upgraded to 3.0.2 (from 3.0.1).
Any other ideas?
It’s definitely not the upgrade that has created this problem. The changes were only to internal functionality affecting user capabilities. Nothing that would affect the menu display in a 3rd party theme.
That’s what I figured, but it still makes no sense to me. The only thing that changed was the 3.0.2 upgrade, it looked and worked perfectly before the upgrade.
Another problem that happened right after the upgrade was in the footer. I fixed it, which is why I have not mentioned it yet, but maybe it provides a clue…
In the footer I have 2 page links (Privacy Policy and Terms of Use) which BEFORE the upgrade were called using this wp_list_pages('include=54,59')
AFTER the upgrade, it rendered with the title “Pages” above those two links. This had never appeared before. So I went in and added this instead:
wp_list_pages('include=54,59&title_li=')
which removes the pages title.
Does that provide any new clues as to why the main menu is wonky?
Anybody have new ideas?
Thanks again
I’m afraid not. wp_list_pages('include=54,59') should always have rendered the page list with the “Pages” title. What version of WordPress were you using previously?
I was using 3.0.1 before the upgrade yesterday.
Yes, the Pages title is another mystery that I don’t get.
I am hoping someone has some ideas. I see other people having weird problem after upgrading, but maybe not exactly the same as mine.
I was using 3.0.1 before the upgrade yesterday.
Then I really have no idea why wp_list_pages worked the way it did for you until now. I’ve been using title_li= since way back when to surpress the auto titling.
