How exactly do I use this code? What do I replace and where do I put it in wordpress?

Thanks!

Place the code in child/active theme's functions.php.

You need to replace

  1. if( is_page( 'about' ) ) {

with the if conditional where you want to display another nav menu in the Primary Navigation location.

For example:

Changing it to

if ( is_home() ) {

will display the menu you're going to set in L21 when you visit your Posts page (the Page set at Settings > Reading).

  1. About Page Menu in

$args['menu'] = 'About Page Menu';

with the name of the custom menu you'd like to be shown in the Primary Navigation location when on the page set in #1 above.

Thank you, it worked perfectly. I replaced is_page with !is_front_page because I needed a different menu for all pages but the front page.
