WP Menu not showing in one page

Hi everybody.

So, I am in the WP Developmet course, and I created a Nav menu and add all the pages to it.

When I visit each section (frontpage, blog, etc) its working, but when I click WORK (a custom page), the menu is not showing any more.

Where should I fix this??

Thanks

Are you using a custom template for the page?

Ivan, you have a typo in your work template file. The beginning of the file looks like this:

            <?
/*
    Template Name: Work Page
*/
php get_header(); ?>

You need to move the "php" that is before the get_header() function call so that it looks like this:

<?php
/*
    Template Name: Work Page
*/
 get_header(); ?>
