  Hey everyone!
  I’ve been working on my custom menu for a while now.
  And I can’t seem to understand why it is not working.
  This is my blog: http://www.tech-heads.com

  Here is what i have done so far:
  Added this code to functions:
  <?php add_action('init', 'register_custom_menu');
function register_custom_menu() {
register_nav_menu('custom_menu', __('Custom Menu'));
} ?>

  Then I added this code to my Header.php:
  <?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'custom_menu')); ?>

  Here is when it become tricky.
  When I use the following code:

  <div id="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'custom_menu')); ?>

  The Menu works, but it is not styled at all! Note, i’m using a pre made theme.

  However when i try this:
  <div id="navigation">
<ul id="nav">
<?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => 'custom_menu')); ?>


  This doesn’t work. This is with the styling and everything.
  What is weird though is, when you refresh the page a lot, by pressing the logo, you will see that sometime the menu displays the disappears.

  I really need this to be working.

  Here is what used to work(just listed categories)

  <div id="navigation">

  <ul id="nav">
  <?php wp_list_categories('exclude=1&hide_empty=0&orderby=name&show_count=0&use_desc_for_title=1&title_li='); ?>

  And this worked fine, but i wanted to make a Custom Menu.
