    I registered a second menu in my functions file like so

    add_theme_support( 'menus' );

function register_theme_menus() {

	register_nav_menus(
		array(

			'header-menu'  => __('Header Menu'),
			'markets-nav'  => __('Markets Menu')

			)

	 );
}

add_action('init', 'register_theme_menus');

    and added the menu to a sidebar location

    <?php
                $args = array(
                  'menu'       => 'markets-nav',
                  'menu_class' => 'sidebar-nav',
                  'container'  => 'false'
                  );

                wp_nav_menu( $args );

              ?>

    But when I assign it in wordpresses back end the new menu shows up in the sidebar but also in the header in place of my original menu.
    Here is the code in the header 

    <?php
                $args = array(
                  'menu'       => 'header-menu',
                  'menu_class' => 'nav navbar-nav flex-nav',
                  'container'  => 'false'
                  );

                wp_nav_menu( $args );

              ?>

    What am I missing here?
