Classic theme / menu question

    Yes, I know there is a section on Themes; and yes, I know there is a grouping for Classic. But there are only two questions in it and they are four years old. So I thought it might work to post here.

    I do not like block themes. So I am building our site using Classic theme. However, this version of it does not seem to work as I remember. My immediate problem is that I can’t see the menu and do not seem to be able to assign a location to the menu and I cannot find any credentialing or documentation on Classic theme to tell me how to make the menu appear.

    If that is not possible, is there a theme that I can use that functions more like classic but can do what I want? I am not a coder. Thank you in advance.

    Hey there,

    In classic theme ,first you need to register your menu in your functions.php file. Once you have registered the menu you will see the menu option appear under the Appearence section in your dashboard.

    To display the menu frontend you will need to add the appropriate code(wp_nav_menu function) in your header.php file. For your better experience, follow these links below…

    and display menu link:-https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus#Display_Menus_on_Theme

    Hi,

    Well, since you said you are not a coder, so I am assuming you are not the author of your theme (or that you will not be editing your theme code). In that case, you will need to use a classic WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-One. You will not be able to add new menu locations without diving into the code. You can create new menus and attach it to the pre-defined Menu locations in the theme.

    If you are not able to see Menu locations to attach your menus to, it may be 2 things. Either you are looking in the wrong place or that your theme did not register any theme locations.

    You can follow up in this thread and elaborate on
