    I would like to know how can I add extra Menu to any wordpress theme. I mean I have browsed all through the Google help guides that I could find and all of them seem to have conflict with the default Menu bar settings for the installed theme. Moreover, if one is able to add any additional menu to the theme, the new custom nav also starts inheriting the same css properties of the default theme.

    I am at loss here and I am unable to understand few things –

    1. The “nav” property calls for singls css reference, can one not use “anyothername” for nav bar and create a custom menu?

    2. The wordpress themes now come with embedded third party plugins (in my case metromenu customizr). How can one keep the settings for the same and still add new custom nav bar with custom css to that theme?

    3. I am a newbie so please don’t bash me out for this one – How to add extra navbar to any wordpress theme?

    This link from the Codex might clear up some of your confusion (https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus).

    Do you have any experience editing php files? Basically, you register a ‘new’/additional menu and then need to ‘call’ it in to the area you would like it to appear within that specific page template or area. If you already have a theme, you would want to do this within a child theme. Otherwise, any changes you make will be erased when your theme releases its next update.

    Since you’re new, this might be too complicated to tackle all at once. I’m not familiar with metromenu customizer so can’t offer up any assistance there or alternative plugins that could allow you to do something similar.

    I have a Crumina Theme – One Touch. The theme came with Metro Menu Customizr and supports two Menu. The Header Menu is set to boxed layout with beautiful css effects. The second Menu is patched to footer and is well placed.

    My problem is –

    I want to add a normal horizontal Menu at the end of the header and it must be responsive as well. I have registered new Menu to the functions.php and have called it from the header.php using native wordpress function. The problem is that the newly registered Menu nav automatically takes the css properties defined for the default Metro Menu in the header.

    I am unable to code a completely new Menu Nav which is free from the default theme properties. I know a bit of coding but the problem is no matter how much I try to use this new menu the default theme settings over rides everything I have coded for this new Menu Nav.
