I have a custom theme for a category using the file category-25.php in a child theme.
My menu isn’t appearing in this custom category theme but it appears fine in my single post customised theme file. single-destination.php that i use for a custom post type.

How can i get it to appear? I’m using the Ethos framework.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in.

Please try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

If it doesn’t work, Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

Hey there,

Since X is a multi-design theme, its structure is not the same as a typical theme. Please see https://community.theme.co//kb/customization-best-practices/ to learn how to customize X. We’d love to help you with this however, this involves custom development and a plugin therefore it falls outside the scope of our support. You might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://theme.co/x/member/custom-development/.

Thank you for understanding.

ok fixed it.

For anyone having problems with menu’s not appearing on custom category theme pages or child category themes using this plugin

https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-template-hierarchy/

and the Ethos layout

Here’s a solution.

function getMainMenu($menulocation){
  $locations = get_nav_menu_locations();
  $menuItems = wp_get_nav_menu_items( $locations[ $menulocation ] );
    if(empty($menuItems))
      return false;
    else{
      wp_nav_menu(array('theme_location' => $menulocation,  'container'=> false, 'menu_class'=> 'x-nav sf-menu'));
      return true;
    }
}

in your functions.php and i’m calling a custom header in my theme
<?php get_header('custom');?>

in header-custom.php
<?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'wp', 'headercustom' ); ?>

in wp-headercustom.php in my child ethos i’m using

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/ETHOS/WP-HEADERCUSTOM.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Header output for Ethos.
// =============================================================================

?>

<?php x_get_view( 'global', '_header' ); ?>

  <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_slider-above' ); ?>

  <header class="<?php x_masthead_class(); ?>" role="banner">
    <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_post', 'carousel' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_topbar' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_navbarcustom' ); ?>
    <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_breadcrumbs' ); ?>
</header>

  <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_slider-below' ); ?>
  <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', '_landmark-header' ); ?>

and then the same _nav-primarycustom.php in global

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_NAV-PRIMARYCUSTOM.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the primary nav.
// =============================================================================
if(!getMainMenu('primary')){
  $backup = $wp_query;
  $wp_query = NULL;
  $wp_query = new WP_Query(array('post_type' => 'post'));
  ?>
 <a href="#" class="x-btn-navbar collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".x-nav-wrap.mobile">
  <i class="x-icon-bars"></i>
  <span class="visually-hidden"><?php _e( 'Navigation', '__x__' ); ?></span>
</a>
<nav class="x-nav-wrap desktop" role="navigation">
<?php getMainMenu('primary'); ?>
  <?php /*wp_nav_menu( array(
	  'theme_location' => 'primary',
	  'container'      => false,
	  'menu_class'     => 'x-nav sf-menu'
	) );*/
?>
  </nav>
  <div class="x-nav-wrap mobile collapse">
 <?php /* wp_nav_menu( array(
	  'theme_location' => 'primary',
	  'container'      => false,
	  'menu_class'     => 'x-nav sf-menu'
	) );*/
?>
<?php getMainMenu('primary'); ?>
</div>
  <?php
  $wp_query = $backup;
}
?>

Still no idea why this isn’t working with Ethos by default but it is with this fix.
