Custom menus don't work

    I have created a custom menu on the Menus admin page. Here is the problem: when I go to set it in a Theme Location, there is no menu displayed whatsoever on the page. And if I set a Custom Menu widget to display that menu, there are no items displayed in the widget. This fails to work no matter how many custom menus I create, and it fails to work on ALL THEMES.

    How can I reset or fix the menu system? Thank you!

    Your theme needs to support custom menus properly. Remove the selected menu from theme location drop down (select the blank item, save) and it should revert to your theme default.

    Right, I understand there’s a question of theme compatibility. However, it fails to work on the default Twenty Eleven theme, which I know supports custom menus. And I’m inclined to believe it’s a deeper problem because none of the menu items show up when I make a Custom Menu widget, which would be theme-agnostic. So it’s gotta be something messed up in the configuration or database.

    My intent is to have custom menus set up on the main site (it’s a multisite installation), but I set up a fresh, alternate blog (Boo) for the purposes of experimentation. I notice the same behavior on ALL SITES in the network. Weird, right?
