Forever’s functions.php
/**
* This theme uses wp_nav_menu() in one location.
*/
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => __( 'Primary Menu', 'forever' ),
) );
I replace with:
function register_my_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
array(
'italian-menu' => __( 'Italian Menu' ),
'english-menu' => __( 'English Menu' )
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
I upload using a theme-child and everything from my site disappears including the dashboard. I am only able to log-in or view if I delete the functions.php from my child-theme. As far as I can tell I’m doing this step correctly. I suspect that perhaps this theme doesn’t encourage this type of modification?
Yet again the nav-menu.php states:
/**
* Register navigation menus for a theme.
*
* @since 3.0.0
*
* @param array $locations Associative array of menu location identifiers (like a slug) and descriptive text.
*/
function register_nav_menus( $locations = array() ) {
global $_wp_registered_nav_menus;
add_theme_support( 'menus' );
$_wp_registered_nav_menus = array_merge( (array) $_wp_registered_nav_menus, $locations );
}
I’m not sure what to do at this point, this really holds the last great obstacle from officially launching my site. I have the latest installment of WordPress (3.8.1) so register_nav_menu should work fine…
[no bumping, please]

I would like to allow the Forever theme to be able to support multiple menus. Is this possible??

this makes it work, at least for now…
Hi there, instead of defining a new menu function in your child theme, I think you need to overwrite the existing function by reusing the same name.
Could you try putting this in functions.php in your child theme:
<?php
/**
* Two menu locations
*/
register_nav_menus( array(
'primary' => __( 'Italian Menu', 'forever' ),
'secondary' => __( 'English Menu', 'forever')
) );
?>
I did this and it gave me two menu locations in my admin area under Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations.
Let me know how it goes.

For some reason my admin area & site disappear when I alter the functions.php.
I even deactivated all of my plug-ins to see if it was interfering.
The only thing that has worked is this plug-in.
One thing I haven’t tried yet was to update my current version 3.8.1 with the maintenance update. According to my admin dashboard I have the most recent version installed, and future security updates will be applied automatically.
I’m glad you found a plugin that does the trick. Updating WordPress shouldn’t make a difference in this case.

Are you modifying the original functions.php or putting the code I gave you in a blank file called functions in your child theme?
If you put it in the child theme folder, could you double-check that the file is in plain-text format? What program did you use to create the file?
If you’d like to troubleshoot further, could you provide a link to your site?
