Comment on WordPress Custom Menu Widget Tutorial by SEO Dave.
Stallion Responsive has an option to disable all widgets (one at a time) for performance reasons under “Stallion Theme” >> “Performance Options” (near the bottom: “Unregister Widgets”) have you ticked the “Default WP Widget Custom Menu” box by mistake?
Those that are ticked are unregistered (disabled). The idea is to tick the widgets you don’t use, so if you want to use custom menus as widgets, untick “Default WP Widget Custom Menu”.
Using the Unregister Widgets options means WordPress won’t be wasting resources on widgets you aren’t using: surprisingly some default WordPress widgets waste resources when not in use!
With custom menu widgets you also have to create custom menus under “Appearance” >> “Menus”, so if the Custom Menu widget is on the widgets page, but there’s nothing to select it’s because you have no custom menus.
