 * Hello,
    I’m just started to use the Dyad 2 theme and I can’t show the menu in
   the header. I have an English and Spanish menus created and configured (they 
   work perfect in my previous WordPress theme), but they don’t run now. I have 
   another request about the featured image of the posts, is there a way to show
   the featured image on the top of the post instead of the left? My web page is
   [http://www.jugavi.com](http://www.jugavi.com) Thanks in advance for your help
   and best regards. Guillermo

 * I am having the exact same problem with Dyad 2, all my menus appear to be configured
   correctly, but they are not displaying on the site at all (neither social nor
   main menue) all I can see is a link to the About Page.

 * Hi there!
 * Often when changing themes the menu can be unset if the menu location names don’t
   match.
 * If you open Appearance > Customize > Menus, and select the Primary Menu location,
   do you see the name of your desired menu selected?

 * Try setting that back to **-Select**, saving, and then choosing your menu and
   saving again. That should reset the menu selection.

   if you set a post to use the Image post format, it should display the featured
   image on top of the single post page 🙂

   tried that a tonne of times to no avail.

 * Hi [@shireling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shireling/)
    thanks for your
   response. I checked that my menus are correctly selected: ⌊Menu pic 1⌉ Then, 
   as you said, I set them back to “-Select” option and save the changes: ⌊Menu 
   pic 2⌉ Then I selected the menus again and save the changes, but the menu didn’t
   appear in the header. I even created a new menu (with other pages) and selected
   it, but it neither worked: ⌊Menu pic 3⌉ Any other option? Best regards, Guillermo

 * Hi again,
    I had a plugin called “Exclude pages” to hide selected pages from 
   navigation (not from menus), so I removed it to check that it was the problem.
   Now the menu still does not appear but the header shows all the pages that I 
   have (although they haven’t been included on the menu). Any idea? Best regards,
   Guillermo

 * Thank you both for the screenshots!
 * > I had a plugin called “Exclude pages” to hide selected pages from navigation(
   > not from menus)
 * In many cases, “menus” and “navigation” are the synonyms, so that makes sense
   as a source of part of the issue. It now sounds like Dyad is using its default
   menu and listing all of your pages. That indicates that while you have menus 
   set, they aren’t being loaded.
 * The fact that you are now seeing the default menu as well put you in what looks
   like the same position as [@mikeenz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikeenz/).
 * Now that your symptoms match more closely, I was able to find the problem – the
   menu ID being registered is different than the one being called by the header.
 * [I’ve put together a child theme](https://github.com/chad1008/dyad-2-temp-menu-fix)
   you can install as a workaround, and I’ll open up a bug report so it can be fixed
   directly.
 * When you visit that link for the child theme, use the **Clone or Download** button
   and choose the **Download ZIP** option. Then install and activate like a normal
   theme.

 * [@communitymanagerjugavi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/communitymanagerjugavi/)–
   depending on how you’ve implemented the extra menus you’re using, you may need
   to make adjustments. If you’re using a child already, here is the function I’ve
   used to remove the current menu and register one with the right name:
 *     ```
       function dyad_2_menu_fix() {
           unregister_nav_menu( 'menu-1' );
           register_nav_menus( array(
               'primary' => esc_html__( 'Primary Menu', 'dyad' ),
           ) );
       }
   
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'dyad_2_menu_fix', 12 );
       ```
   
 * Give that a try and let me know how it goes – we’ll also post here when the parent
   theme is updated!

 * Good news!
 * The fix has already been applied – if you update the theme in your dashboard 
   the problem should be resolved (so skip that child theme I posted!).
 * [@communitymanagerjugavi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/communitymanagerjugavi/)–
   if you used a plugin or child theme to add your new menus, you should be good
   to go with the update.
 * If you modified the theme code directly though, make a copy of your custom code
   in a safe place before you update – otherwise your changes will be lost. After
   you update, apply those changes in a [child theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   instead (if necessary) 🙂

 * Hi [@shireling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shireling/),
    I was downloading
   the child theme to check it when I updated the original theme and the menu works!
   Now it runs perfect in both languages, so many thanks for your help! Best regards,
   Guillermo
