How to show WordPress menu on specific page

Hello.

I'm working on a Genesis WordPress site that has four menus (www.raccoon.shop). The third menu which has big circle images must be shown only on the front homepage. The fourth menu must be shown on the same template place as the third menu but it will be active on ALL OTHER pages except the homepage.

My PHP knowledge is very limited. What do I need to write in my function.php file to make third menu active only on homepage and fourth menu active only on all pages except the homepage?

Thank you!

Use the if_home function to check if you are on the home page and then run your code.

<?php

function custom_menu_treehouse() {
  if ( is_home() ) {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'menu3'  ) );
  } else {
    wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'menu4'  ) );
  }
}


?>

wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'menu3'  ) );

Hmm, looks simple :D. The first 'menu' is the place of the menu and the 'menu3' is the menu id?

'menu' should not be changed. menu3 would be the name of the menu. The names of the menu can vary. Check the docs and try it out.
