The message above clearly stated that your theme doesn’t natively support menus. If your theme can support menu natively, it allow user to easily choose or modify the menu without any programming knowledge. This is important if you would like to make your theme user friendly and easily customize.

- Open your theme functions.php file and add the line below:-
register_nav_menu('main', 'Primary Menu');
- Once saved, and refresh your Menu settings page and you should see your theme support menu natively. Just click on the drop down and you can select the menu.
