 * How do I get the following to autopopulate the menu vs. require me to manually
   add pages to the menu in the Appearance admin area?
 * `<?php wp_nav_menu('menu=testmenu&menu_class=child-navs&container=&container_class
   =&menu_id='); ?>`

 * Hi wyclef!
 * Have you thought about using `wp_list_pages()` as a fallback?

 * Unless you mean something different?

 * No, I’m pretty sure I want wp_nav_menu. Currently I’m using it and it’s working
   fine as long as I use the manually populate it using the menu thing in the appearance
   admin area. I’m just looking to auto populate it so if I add a page I don’t have
   to manually add it to the menu.
 * If I check Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu it doesn’t seem
   to work.
 * Am I supposed to have something in functions more than `add_theme_support( 'menus');`
