  I changed my theme from Oxygen to (a bunch of other themes). Now I can’t get the Menu to display correctly. It displays everything, despite the sub-menus I’ve nested (it displays them as regular pages/items on the menu). At first I thought it was just the theme I picked, but I’ve changed to a bunch of other themes, and it just keeps doing it.

  I can’t find the answer on the general help pages. Any thoughts?

  If you had used a custom menu, on theme changes, it is typically disabled since there are differences between themes and to keep things from going wacky, it is disabled.

  Go to appearance > menus, select your custom menu in the “theme locations” pulldown and click save.

  Howdy!

  It looks as though you have not assigned your custom menu to the Primary Navigation area under Appearance -> Menus, and as a result, your site is displays the default menu of Pages, which explains why you don’t see the nested items.
