# Submitting a Theme to WordPress

 * I have a WordPress 3 [theme](http://demos.simplethemes.com/jambo/wp/) I’d like
   to submit to the free download [repository](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/).
 * I’ve checked it with all the sample data and debugged it locally, but I’m curious
   what the best method is for showing the menus. Is there a specific call to register_nav_menus
   that I need to add?
 * When I load the theme in a vanilla installation, my menu items don’t display.
   It’s kind of a big part of the design so I’d hate to demo it with no menus.

 * Have you tried looking at the TwentyTen theme for examples of nav menus?

 * Thanks, I found this page which outlines the fallback process a little better.

 * For anyone else with this same dilemma, I’ve posted my code for reference:
 * **header.php:**
 *     ```
       <!-- begin navigation -->
       <div id="navwrap">
         <div id="nav">
           <?php st_navbar(); ?>
         </div><!--/nav-->
       </div>
       <!--/end navigation-->
       ```
   
 * **functions.php:**
    (_sthemes\_topmenupages_ and _sthemes\_topmenucats_ assumes
   a fallback theme admin panel option is also used to output comma separated values)
 *     ```
       // WP 3.0 Menus
   
       function mytheme_addmenus() {
           register_nav_menu('top-menu', 'Primary Navigation');
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'mytheme_addmenus' );
   
       function st_navbar() {
           if (function_exists('wp_nav_menu' ))
             wp_nav_menu( 'menu=top-menu&depth=2&menu_class=sf-menu sf-navbar&fallback_cb=st_navbar_fallback' );
           else
             st_navbar_fallback();
       }
   
       function st_navbar_fallback() {
         $topmenupages = array(
         'include'      => get_option('sthemes_topmenupages'),
         'depth'        => 3,
         'sort_column'  => menu_order,
         'hierarchical' => true,
         'title_li'     => __('')
         );
         $topmenucats = array(
         'include'      => get_option('sthemes_topmenucats'),
         'depth'        => 2,
         'title_li'     => __('')
         );
         echo "<ul class=\"sf-menu sf-navbar\">";?>
         <li <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>class="current_page_item"<?php } ?>>
         <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php _e ('Home', 'smpl') ?></a>
         </li>
         <?php
         wp_list_pages($topmenupages);
         wp_list_categories($topmenucats);
         echo "</ul></div></div>";
       ```
