Problem with registering menus – What to do when other solutions aren’t working?
In regard to this comment: I see – I had things nested incorrectly in my functions.php file – I found that the register_nav_menus() call should not be nested within the theme setup function (function hchw_setup()) To the contrary, inside a callback hooked into after_setup_theme is exactly the right place for calls to register_nav_menus().

How to add a section to the menus configuration, offering hard coded items?

Theme elements not translating
