As you can read from the documentation register_nav_menu
is used to register a menu in the menu editor. Your code will affect the backend only. Also you should pass a slug like string as the first parameter. If you want to change the display of the menu, you could simple write a condition which will change the parameters of wp_nav_menu. Like the following:
// header.php (or similar)
wp_nav_menu([
'menu' => (is_page('about-us') ? 'primary-navigation' ? 'example-menu'),
]);
Otherwise you could also register a menu and change the value of the theme_location
parameter to make the menu configurable by the user.
Update:
To achieve this via a filter hook
// functions.php
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_args', function ($args) {
if (is_page('about-us')) {
$args['menu'] = 'my-custom-menu';
}
return $args;
});
