Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 5,536 PointsAdding a second menu to a sidebar
I added a second menu in my functions file like this
'markets-nav' => __('Markets Menu')
and the added the following code to the sidebar where I want the menu to be
<?php $args = array( 'menu' => 'markets-nav', 'menu_class' => 'sidebar-nav', 'container' => 'false' );
wp_nav_menu( $args );
?>
But when I go to add the menu in the backend it also takes over my header menu. What am I missing in this process?
