Location Management Tab Missing

I have a new version of WordPress 4.0.1 that runs the Twenty 14 theme, without activating the plugins.

When I go to Appearance> Menus, I see only one tab "Edit Menu". The Location Management tab that I used in previous versions is missing.

When I create a new menu, it does not appear. However, if I try to create a new menu with the same name, I get an error: "The TESTMENU menu name conflicts with another menu name. Try another one."

It turns out that in some themes there is no menu, and you need to add the theme manually through your theme functions.php. Anyway, here is what I did:

add_theme_support( 'menus' ); // <-- if you already see `menus` from your settings menu, you can ignore this line.

function register_menus() {

  register_nav_menus(
    array(
      'primary-menu' => _( 'Primary Menu' ) // add locations here.
      'your-preferred-menu-location-id' => _( 'Title of your menu location' )
    )
  );
}

add_action( 'init', 'register_menus' ); // <-- of course without this, the function above will not execute.

If the above code does not work for you, try enabling / disabling plugins that may cause the problem.

Hope this helps.
