 * It’s possibly that you theme doesn’t support custom menus.
 * Does Appearance -> Menus appear if you temporarily switch to the Twenty Fifteen
   theme?

 * this means your theme does not support custom menus.

 * WP has many useful codex guides, for example: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus](https://codex.wordpress.org/Navigation_Menus)

 * yea i am aware of these codex am using them but once its time to use my **register_nav_menu**
   function with the reference in the Appearance->menu.i don’t see the menu…where
   you check the pages you want to register to the function reference that when 
   i don’t see it..the menu button.

 * In general, it’s easiest to compare code. Take a look at how Twenty Fifteen and
   Twenty Fourteen are registering the menus, then compare to what you’re doing.
