So, the issue resolved itself.
I removed the theme from wordpress and readded it and the menu worked!
Thanks everyone.
Thank you for responding.
Unfortunately, I have tried setting the location for my menu. I have tried clicking the box labeled “Primary menu” and have also gone to the “Manage locations” tab at the top of the appearance>menu screen.
I am thinking that it is more a bug than my inability to work with WordPress. I am thinking this because when I use the “customize” tool and enter in my menu, the menu comes up on screen perfectly. However, when I save and apply, the changes do not occur and it is as if I never made the change.
