 After the update to 4.1 our menu "broke" (http://www.pendleheritage.co.uk)
 - after some investigation I found the problem

 We have many menus, but the one for the homepage (at the top) was called
 main_menu. It was still set as the main menu in appearance > menus >
 manage locations, however, it was not displaying on the website. Instead
 another menu was showing.

 After some tests I found that the first menu (alphabetically) was the one
 displayed. In this case that was "archaeology posts" - I deleted that menu
 and then the menu defaulted to "Conservation events" and so on. As a
 temporary fix I renamed the main menu to "a menu" so it is the first,
 alphabetically.
