Use different main menu for each page WordPress

Joshua Nelson answers:

If you have a theme you feel like editing you can change where the menu is referenced to something like this:


if ( is_page( 'home' ) && is_nav_menu( 'Main' ) ) { // home page & make sure menu exists
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Main' ) ); // main menu
} elseif ( is_page( 'product' ) && is_nav_menu( 'Sales Page' ) ) { // product page & make sure menu exists
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Sales Page' ) ); // sales page menu
} elseif ( is_nav_menu( 'Main' ) ) { // if not those pages, then make use this menu
wp_nav_menu ( array( 'menu' => 'Main' ) ); // default menu, just in case
} else {
wp_nav_menu(); // if all else fails, use wordpress defaults
}


Or you can find a plugin like this one: [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-page-menus/"]]http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-page-menus/[[/LINK]] (don't know if it works still)

Hi.
In my opinion Joshua Nelson's answer is the best solution for you. In your situation the code should be:

<?php
if ( is_page( 'Home' ) ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Main' ) );
} elseif ( is_page( 'Product' ) ) {
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Sales page' ) );
} else {
wp_nav_menu ( array( 'menu' => 'main menu' ) ); // default menu
}
?>

Good luck!

The simplest solution is probably to use a template for each page.
Here you can learn how to create a template for "products" and another template for "home" : [[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates#Custom_Page_Template"]]http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates#Custom_Page_Template[[/LINK]].
It's very very simple. (tell me if you don't understand)

And in each template, use the code to insert the menu you want to display.
So in the template of home you will use a code like this :
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Main' ) )

and in the template of products you will use a code like this :
wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Sales page' ) )

All above answer are prefect. Even you could try this one.

<?php

if ( is_page(1) ) { // if ( is_front_page() ) { you can try this one too

wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Main' ) );

} elseif ( is_page( 5) ) {

wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'Sales page' ) );

} else {

wp_nav_menu ( array( 'menu' => 'main menu' ) ); // default menu

}

?>

step 1, add a post meta with page, add the following code to the functions.php
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'ashu_add_custom_box' );
function ashu_add_custom_box(){
if ( function_exists('add_meta_box') ) {
add_meta_box( 'page_custom_menu','page-menu', 'page_custom_menu_box', 'page', 'side','high');
}
}
function page_custom_menu_box(){
global $post;

if ( metadata_exists( 'post', $post->ID, 'page_menu' ) ) {
$menu_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'page_menu', true );
}

$entries = get_terms( 'nav_menu', array( 'hide_empty' => false ) );
echo '<select class="postform" id="page_menu" name="page_menu"> ';
echo '<option value="">Select...</option> ';
foreach ($entries as $key => $entry){
$id = $entry->term_id;
$title = $entry->name;
if ( $id == $menu_id ){
$selected = "selected='selected'";
}else{
$selected = "";
}
echo"<option $selected value='". $id."'>". $title."</option>";
}
echo '</select>';
}

add_action('save_post', 'save_postdata');
function save_postdata( $post_id ) {
global $post;
if( !isset($_POST['page_menu']) )
return;
$data = $_POST['page_menu'];
if(get_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu') == "") {
add_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu', $data, true);
}elseif($data != get_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu', true)) {
update_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu', $data);
}elseif($data == "") {
delete_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu', get_post_meta($post_id, 'page_menu', true));
}
}


step 2,change where the menu is referenced:
<?php
if( is_page() && get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'page_menu', true )!='' ){
global $post;
$menu_id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'page_menu', true );
wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'menu' => $menu_id ) );
}else{
//default menu
wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary' ) );
}
?>

step 3 ,select a custom menu with each page
