menu not displaying on category pages

  • Hi,
    I’ve been googling this but can’t find a solution.

    I have three menus registered in my function.php file:

    function register_theme_menus(){

   register_nav_menus(

      array(
	      'main-menu' => __('Main Menu'),
		  'work-menu' => __('Work Menu'),
		  'categories-menu' => __('Categories Menu')

	  )
   );
}

add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus');

    These are called into sidebar.php so share the same code:

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'main-menu', 'menu_class' => 'mnnav worknav' ) ); ?>
 <h3 class="work hidden-xs">Work</h3>

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'work-menu', 'menu_class' => 'mnnav hidden-xs' ) ); ?>

<h3 class="work hidden-xs">Categories</h3>

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'categories-menu', 'menu_class' => 'mnnav' ) ); ?>

    The menus show up fine on all the pages apart from category-slug pages.

    I’m using custom post types (portfolio).

    Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

    I fixed it.

    In case it helps someone else. I added the following in my functions.php file:

    add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'query_post_type');
function query_post_type($query) {
  if(is_category() || is_tag()) {
    $post_type = get_query_var('post_type');
	if($post_type)
	    $post_type = $post_type;
	else
	    $post_type = array('nav_menu_item','post','articles');
    $query->set('post_type',$post_type);
	return $query;
    }
}

    I had all of the code apart from: ‘nav_menu_item’ added to the array.
