Custome Menus: What am I doign wrong?

    So I’m producing my second WP theme and I’ve struck a problem. As well as the standard Nav menu at the top of my pages, the Footer element contains three individual sub-menus that can be loaded with individual entries. These are broken into three areas: Product Range, Industry Type and Services. The source code on footer.php is thus:

    <div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left"><h3>Product Range</h3><?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'product-range', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?></div>
                <div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left"><h3>Industry Type</h3><?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'industry-type', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?></div>
                <div class="col-sm-3" style="float:left"><h3>Services</h3><?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'footer' => 'services', 'container_class' => 'footer-menu' ) ); ?></div>

    In functions.php I have included:

    *Add footer Menus
*/
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
    array(
         'product-range' => __( 'Product Range' ),
         'industry-types' => __( 'Industry Types' ),
         'services' => __( 'Services' )
     )
 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

    The output to all three menus is identical, and it is not what I want:

    Product Range

    The top two items I added in the CMS, the remainder are automatically generated form somewhere else?

    What gives?

    Update: I’ve just re-configured ‘Industry types’ menu and loaded one page. The result:

    Product Range

    Military

    Industry Type

    Military

    Services

    Military

    It gets weirder still – I completely deleted the ‘Industry Types’ menu and set up again from scratch. NOW ALL 3 MENUS are showing the same name…

    … which has changed from what was there before. I have two other names set under ‘Product Range’ (which I have just wiped and set up afresh. WP isn’t even looking at these… ???

    Hi there,

    To get help with that you need to post in the WordPress.org forums:

    The forum you have posted is for the WordPress.com hosting platform which is different than the WordPress software that your site is using. You can learn more about these differences here:

    Thanks @fstat, was wondering why I was the only one making comments. Reposted to correct forum!
