Today I learn how you can add new menu location in wordpress theme. Here I am sharing details how to do it. Step 1: First register menu location name to database. You can do it simply by adding a function in your theme functions.php file. Function register_nav_menus() Here I am adding menu as "Mobile Menu Signin".

function register_kk_custom_menus() {
register_nav_menus(
  array('mobile-menu-signin' => __( 'Mobile Menu Signin' )));
