   I hit delete on the menus section by mistake and both top and bottom menus disappeared. I created a new menu, but I must have the wrong name for the menu. I have renamed the menu every possible name I found in the style and footer files (footer, menu-footer-navigation, menu, subsidiary, etc.), and none work. I assume that there is a formatting routine that requires the menu have a particular name to work. Please tell me the name I should give the menu so that it appears the way it was before. My webpage is: competeoutsidethebox.com

   Thanks very much in advance.

   Try inspecting googles cache to find the name, http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://competeoutsidethebox.com/

   Thanks, but I made this mistake a few weeks ago, so the cached version is after the deletion.

   The menu breaking because it was deleted means the CSS is too specific, so instead of targeting the class with the name "#menu-footer-navigation", try targeting the "#footer .menu" which would be more generic.

   If you want to find the original name, it should be referenced in your CSS file, just remember WP/Thematic will add "menu-" before the name of the menu. In your css file i see "#menu-footer-navigation" which would be a menu name of "footer-navigation".

   Thanks again for your help. I tried #footer.menu, footer.menu, #footer-navigation, footer-navigation. Unfortunately, none worked. I noticed that the formatting for the no bs and no tie signs is controlled by a section titled subsidiary, but I do not see any reference to a menu. I tried calling it subsidiary, no go. I opened the style, functions and footer files, but can't seem to find the right name.

   agree w/ scott about the overly-specific CSS.
   

   #menu-footer-navigation { list-style:none; margin:0px; } #menu-footer-navigation li { display:block; float:left; margin:0px 36px;} #menu-footer-navigation li a { text-decoration:none;} #menu-footer-navigation li a:hover { text-decoration:underline;}

   is the relevant CSS and i'm not sure how you force a widget to have that ID for the ul element. so i'm wondering why put this menu as a widget? if you are duplicating the same menu below, well... why not just duplicate the menu?

   add_action('thematic_abovefooter','thematic_access');

   I don't know. I am not an expert at this. I didn't create the page. I assume that a widget was used as a way to get the menu in between the 2 round signs.
