 * Hi,
 * I’ve just found out that in RC3 you have to use **add_theme_support(‘menus’)**
   instead of **add_theme_support(‘nav-menus’)** to support custom menus in your
   theme.
 * I just wanted to know which version I’ll have to use in the final release.
 * Regards,
    Robert

 * I also noticed that custom post types don’t show up in the menu-editor anymore.
   How can I fix that?

 * Ok, I’m stupid 😉 Just found out how to show custom post types in the menu editor…
   but I’m still wondering which one I have to use with the final release of wordpress
   3.0:
    add_theme_support(‘menus’) or …(‘nav-menus’)?

 * add_theme_support( ‘menus’ ); is what you want.
