Assign a different menu depending on custom taxonomy

I've been googling, tinkering around and investigating/testing settings however nothing seems to work so please bear with me on this and please help me if you can. Thanks so much!

I have the custom taxonomy called "location" created via the CPT UI plugin - below is the code used by CPT UI plugin to register new taxonomy "location".

function cptui_register_my_taxes_location() {

    /**
     * Taxonomy: Locations.
     */

    $args = array(
        "public" => true,
        "publicly_queryable" => true,
        "hierarchical" => true,
        "show_ui" => true,
        "show_in_menu" => true,
        "show_in_nav_menus" => true,
        "query_var" => true,
        "rewrite" => array( 'slug' => 'location', 'with_front' => true, ),
        "show_admin_column" => true,
        "show_in_rest" => true,
        "rest_base" => "location",
        "rest_controller_class" => "WP_REST_Terms_Controller",
        "show_in_quick_edit" => true,
        );
    register_taxonomy( "location", array( "post", "blog" ), $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'cptui_register_my_taxes_location' );

Now here is the issue I'm having trouble finding the solution for: is there a way to assign a set of menu depending on what taxonomy of the page is?

Ideally, I'll create a set of menu under Appearance > Menus and name it "Test Menu" and then assign it to a specific taxonomy term - is there a wordpress code (function) that we can all use wherein we'll set the TAXONOMY name and the matching MENU name?

Thanks so much guys in advance for your help!

I think the way to do this is:

1. Set up your menu in Appearance > Menus as you mentioned;

2. In your theme's header.php (or wherever you find the wp_nav_menu() code that displays your current menu), set up a WordPress conditional to check if the page being visited is a location taxonomy archive, and display different menus based on that. For instance:

   if (is_tax('location')) { wp_nav_menu( array($args = array( 'menu' => 'test-menu', // your menu slug here ) ); } else { wp_nav_menu(); // your original menu code here }

See the Conditionals page in the WordPress codex for all the options you could use here, there are many.
