Translated menu works locally not on server

  • I am totally stumped trying to figure this issue. I have searched the forum looking for anyone with a similar issue. I have seen many with issues regarding the menus not working but that’s using with the wp_nav_menu not having a template location, which I do have. The part that makes it especially baffling is that on a local development version it works perfectly but it doesn’t when it’s on the server.

    I even did a fresh install of WordPress 4.3.1, export a SQL dump of my local db and import that into the server db and still to no avail. Anyone have any ideas as to what my issue could be?

    Just for reference here are snippets of the menu code in function.php and header.php:

    function register_my_menus() {
  register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'va' ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );
    <?php wp_nav_menu(array(
        'theme_location' => 'primary',
        'container' => 'nav',
        'container_class' => 'main_nav',
        'items_wrap' => '<ul>%3$s</ul>'
      )); ?>

    I found the answer, so I’m leaving a note of what I found in case anyone ever has the same issue I had.

    I tried to make my site urls relative instead of absolute but wordpress interpreted them as http:/whatever. So, fixing your site urls will fix the issue I was having.

    You can still have relative URLs and pre-pend dynamically your domain name to ensure the links are build properly. If you want more controls on custom menu links, check out the shortcodes in menu plugin.

    It could be because I was migrating my db over using the WP Migrate DB plugin and I translated all my local paths to a relative path but the plugin didn’t interpret them correctly.

    ah I see. Never used that plugin for migration. I use Duplicator for this purpose.
