wp_nav_menu category not working – forum recommended fix not working

[alanFW]

Hi,

I am using the wp_nav_menu to create my navigation on a site. It works fine with child page drop downs etc, except for when I get to a category page. The wp_nav_menu is called in the header – see code:

<div id="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'primary', 'container' => false, )); ?>
</div><!--end navigation-->

I have tried to follow the steps highlighted in this previous thread –
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-nav-menu-dissapears-in-category-pages-1?replies=21#post-2417985

but to no avail.

I’d appreciate any help at all on this!

Update – Appears to be a conflict with the ‘External-Video’ plugin, which creates a custom post type for any video from Vimeo.

I guess my next step is to make WordPress skip these custom posts?

Thanks!

<div id="navigation">
     <?php if (is_category('Blog')) { query_posts( 'cat=-external-videos' ); } ?>
     <?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'primary', 'container' => false, )); ?>
</div><!--end navigation-->

Fixed to stop the External Videos custom post type clashing with the wp_nav_menu when in blog category (default for all posts)
