I ended up using a single custom menu, but different menu items depending on the page. Just add a class to the item you want to hide or show, then use your class in style.css like this:
.your-menu-item-class {
display: none;
}
.page-id-1 .your-menu-item-class {
display: block;
}
I too am wondering how to have a different horizontal menu on different pages.
Thoughts?
You could use css like I did, you just have to add a class to the custom menu items.
if you want to go this route just let me know if you have specific quesitions about it..
This project is going to have over 100 pages and lots of admins adding/changing pages that don’t have css knowledge. I was hoping to just have a template or use widget logic for easy display of 4 different menus depending on the section of website viewed.
Did you ever find a solution to this?

lets you show different menus based on role, as well as other conditions. Still the user would have add the pages to the menu, although I think you can select “auto add new top level pages” to the custom menus. So maybe that would work for you?
actually, I doubt wp would assign the page to the correct menu based on the role set by the plugin. Chances are users would still have to vist the menus setting page.
I couldn’t find a plugin that would do what I wanted but I got it to work here, it requires some customization: http://www.recreationnorthwest.org/
Each of the 3 events have their own Menu.
I had to register the 3 new menus in my functions.php so they would show up as options in the WP Menu area.
I created a unique page template and header for each event. Then I told each header to reference the appropriate menu for it’s menu.
Then assigned each page to the appropriate template. Now the Kids Traverse has the Kids menu being shown via the Kids-page.php and header-Kids.php
Same for the Olympia event and Bellingham event.
That’s exactly what I want but I’m afraid I don’t know how to do what you suggest. Is there any chance you could give me examples of what you did to which files?
I only need one additional menu.
Thanks.
this appears to possibly accomplish the same but with custom fields.
Users would have to select a field, which gets the appropriate menu for the page or post.
Otherwise all that’s required is a template tag.
