# Cannot view theme registered menus

 * I have set up a new install of WordPress both locally and on a web server. I 
   registered 2 new menus yet they don’t display in Appearance → Menus. Here is 
   the code I used:
 *     ```
       function register_the_menus() {
       	register_nav_menus(
       		array(
       			'top-menu' => __('Top Menu'),
       			'main-menu' => __('Main Menu')
       		)
       	);
       }
   
       add_action('init', 'register_the_menus');
       ```
   
 * At first I thought it was my code but that is almost identical to codex. So what
   I did was I activated the Twenty Ten theme and it did not work either. Any ideas?

 * Any help with this.
 * I can’t get any custom menus working even on a brand new install locally and 
   online. The arguments for wp_nav_menu are not working either. Sounds like a royal
   F up to me.

 * I am even trying this:
 *     ```
       add_action('after_setup_theme', 'register_custom_menus');
   
       function register_custom_menus() {
           register_nav_menus(array(
               'main' => __('Main Menu')
           ));
       }
       ```

 * OMG. Fail. Ok so I realised that it was doing it but it does not create the menu
   it just creates the position.
 * Is there anyway to create a menu so that all you have to do is add pages/categories/
   links?
