Title: Different menu on a specific sub-section Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Different menu on a specific sub-section * Resolved [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/) * Hi * I’m trying to make somewhat of a news portal type of website using wordpress, about my organization. The main site is ok, but I’m having trouble with my one of my project’s own sub-section. * I’m trying to create a Page for it, as an introduction, and give it it’s own custom Menu (different from the main one) with links to other Pages related to the project, however I have no idea how to create it. * I searched around the forum but no post was detailed enough or even remotely working. I always get some kind of error whenever I add code (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘)’ in /home/aplr/public_html/ wrdprss/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4200) * I’m using twentytwelve theme. Would it be easier to buy a $50 premium theme? Do those support the things I want without having to edit code? * Help? 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5180906) * Hey there, * There is an easy way to solve this problem: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-specific-menu-items/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-specific-menu-items/) * This will allow you to create an intro page that you are wanting to and on that page have a menu that is totally different than the rest of your site.

All I can do is make my new menu (the one I just created, the one I want on that specific page) my Primary Menu, that’s it. * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181064) * Hi * Go to your Appearance settings then to “Menu” in your dashboard after the plugin is activated. it will give you options to assign specific menus to specific pages/ locations. I haven’t used this plugin in awhile so I can’t think of better instructions than that right now but it should be visible once you navigate there. * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181065) * The plugin is active, and there is no option at Appearance settings / menus to assign it anywhere. There is a “Manage locations” tab at Appearance settings / menus though, but it only lets me select witch menu I want as my primary 🙁 * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181066) * Here are the instructions: * How to make this plugin work? * Create a menu from appearance > menus Select the menu you want to use from settings > PS MenuItems > Select Menu Assign the menu to menu location from appearance > menus Check the items you want to hide from pages > edit > Page Specific Menu Items View the page and the selected items should be gone. * The settings for page specific menu items will actually be: * yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=psmi-setting-admin * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181067) * Yes I’ve read the instructions, but there is no option to “Assign the menu to menu location from appearance > menus” (a.k.a. 3rd instruction) so I’m stuck. * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181068) * Could be your theme doesn’t support this. But you should see the following * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/RqSHHjL) * Create menu and here you will be able to “assign it” to a location * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181069) * That is exactly what I see. If I select my new menu there, it activates it on my entire site (posts, pages, home, everywhere). * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181070) * This is because you need to create more than one menu first then set locations for them. But you have to go to the settings for the plugin to make this work so that each menu only shows on certain pages. If you believe its not working as expected, I highly recommend that you contact plugin author to see if he can help further. * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181071) * I’ll try to do that. In the meantime, any other ways of doing this? * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181072) * This is the absolute easiest way but you can find other plugins to do similar function * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181074) * When I edit my new page, it says “Current Menu: projektmenu” (the one I just created) * > [View post on imgur.com](https://imgur.com/tbU4nxi) * … but when I check out my page, it still shows my Primary menu from the home page. * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181075) * So on that page you select the new menu you created “projektmenu” but you are still seeing the main menu show up on that page instead of the newly created one? If that is the case and your settings are correct, then it could be cache. Do you have any caching plugins installed? If so, empty the cache and take another look * Thread Starter [d1zzye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d1zzye/) * (@d1zzye) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181076) * Yes that is what’s happening, but I don’t have any chaching plugins installed. * [Mike Price](https://wordpress.org/support/users/castroboy/) * (@castroboy) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-menu-on-a-specific-sub-section/#post-5181077) * OK its hard to say without being in your install. I do recommend posting this in the plugin’s support forum to see if the plugin author has any ideas.
