Registers a navigation menu location for a theme.

$location string Required

Menu location identifier, like a slug.

$description string Required

Menu location descriptive text.

• See register_nav_menus() for creating multiple menus at once.
• This function automatically registers custom menu support for the theme therefore you do not need to call add_theme_support( 'menus' );
• This function actually works by simply calling register_nav_menus() in the following way:
  

  register_nav_menus( array( $location => $description ) );

• You may use wp_nav_menu() to display your custom menu.
