Hi there,
Love the choices theme. Is it possible to call different menus on different pages?
My client does three distinct types of work, so once a visitor selects the type, she would like a different menu to appear in the navigation bar.
I've found some suggestions that this is possible in the wordpress forums but I don't know how to apply it with the avia framework.
Thank you,
Allyson
Maybe you can find an useful plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ which allows you to assign different menus to different pages. Choices use a standard wordpress function to call the menu and a plugin which hooks into this function should work without additional/custom code.

Hey Dude,
Thanks for the reply. Amazingly, I've searched through the plugins and done several google searches and just haven't found a plugin that does this. Found several that do other menu-type things (such as showing a menu in the page, or widget/menus etc).
If I am daring to try this customization on my own, can you offer any suggestions of how to start? (I think I read that you're not accepting any custom work these days, but if you are let me know!)
For example, would it be wise to create 3 different template pages and call different menus from there?
Or, I found this bit of conidtional code that I could try but wasn't sure where to put it:
<?php
if(is_front_page()) :
$exclude = '10,11,12';
elseif(is_page(15)) :
$exclude = '1,2,3';
endif;
wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=' . $exclude);
?>
I know this is above and beyond typical theme support but I'd appreciate any nudges in the right direction!!
Thanks,
Allyson

Hi,
You can try to call a different menu via menu ID then create conditional for each. Open header.php and find this code
wp_nav_menu($args);
Replace it with this code.
if ( is_page( 'First Page' )) {
wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Main Menu' ));
} else if ( is_page( 'Second Page' )) {
wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Second Menu' ));
} else if ( is_page( 'Third Page' )) {
wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'Third Menu' ));
} else {
wp_nav_menu($args);
};You need to go to Appearance > Menus and create the Main Menu, Second Menu, Third Menu. Then create the pages First Page, Second Page and Third Page.

Hi Ismael,
This works really well and I was able to get three distinct menus to show on three pages. But....
I looked at the codex for is_page references and tried to work in this idea I saw there: is_page(array(42,'about-me','Contact')); where I put in all the page names of the pages that should show a certain menu.
But that didn't work.
I was able to repeat the 'else if' code and it worked. I am willing to do that for each page if necessary. Unless you can suggest an easier method?

Actually, don't worry about responding to this - I think it works just fine with repeating the menu choices.
I now seem to have another issue but I'll do a search first and then open a support ticket if I can't resolve it.
Thanks for the awesome support - it's a refreshing thing!
