    Hi, I am about to launch my website but since I’ve updated to WP 4.9.1 as well as a few plug-ins, the menu structure has changed on the site.

    When I go to Appearance>Menu>, I select the menu name and the structure looks perfect but on my actual site, it has a different order. How can I fix it?

    First of all, clear browser cache, and then see to it that your hosting provider also has some kind of caching installed, and ask them how to flush server cache.

    Disable all plugins and see if the problem goes away, re-enable one by one to pinpoint the one that might have caused the issue. Might as well temporarily switch to WP’s default theme to determine if theme is the problem.

    but since I’ve updated to WP 4.9.1 as well as a few plug-ins, the menu structure has changed on the site.

    The plugins that recently got updated should be the one to be disable first. Don’t forget to clear browser cache when viewing the front end each time we make changes.

    I am facing the problem when I run an update from 4.8.3 to 4.9.1 the menu positions changed.

    The content of theme_mods_{theme-name} before the update:

    a:5:{i:0;b:0;s:12:"header_image";s:13:"remove-header";s:16:"header_textcolor";s:6:"33a56c";s:18:"nav_menu_locations";a:11:{s:7:"primary";i:6;s:14:"primary_mobile";i:12;s:4:"user";i:13;s:14:"footer-links-1";i:8;s:14:"footer-links-2";i:9;s:14:"footer-links-3";i:10;s:14:"footer-links-4";i:11;s:12:"footer-legal";i:7;s:6:"broker";i:114;s:3:"sme";i:148;s:16:"sme-footer-legal";i:149;}s:18:"custom_css_post_id";i:-1;}

    And after the update:
    a:6:{i:0;b:0;s:12:"header_image";s:13:"remove-header";s:16:"header_textcolor";s:6:"33a56c";s:18:"nav_menu_locations";a:6:{s:7:"primary";i:12;s:4:"user";i:13;s:12:"footer-legal";i:8;s:6:"broker";i:114;s:3:"sme";i:148;s:16:"sme-footer-legal";i:9;}s:18:"custom_css_post_id";i:-1;s:16:"sidebars_widgets";a:2:{s:4:"time";i:1513177484;s:4:"data";a:9:{s:19:"wp_inactive_widgets";a:6:{i:0;s:10:"archives-2";i:1;s:6:"meta-2";i:2;s:8:"search-2";i:3;s:12:"categories-2";i:4;s:14:"recent-posts-2";i:5;s:17:"recent-comments-2";}s:8:"footer-1";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-7";}s:8:"footer-2";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-3";}s:8:"footer-3";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-5";}s:8:"footer-4";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-4";}s:12:"footer-1-sme";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-6";}s:12:"footer-2-sme";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-8";}s:12:"footer-3-sme";a:1:{i:0;s:10:"nav_menu-9";}s:12:"footer-4-sme";a:0:{}}}}

    Thanks Paul for your answer (and Markus for your comment so I see I’m not the only- and I’m not an IT girl:)

    I have deactivated the recently installed plugins one by one and deleted the cachés each time. Nothing has changed so far, the structure is still messy. I have sent a request to my server host provider and I’m waiting to hear back from them. I’ll let you know

    I have looked it up again and just saw that there was a tick in the box Appearance>Menu>Menu settings> Display location which was missing…

    This is sorted out now:)
