Delete all menu items from the Main Menu on testing.jaimisaunders.com while keeping the empty menu assigned to the 'primary' location.

Let me first get the menu ID and verify the current state.

Good — menu ID 23, 8 items, assigned to 'primary'. Let me list its items then delete them all.

## Summary
**What I did:**
1. Identified the "Main Menu" menu — `term_id=23`, assigned to `primary` location, with 8 items.
2. Listed the 8 items (db_ids 51–58, all membership-related pages).
3. Deleted all 8 menu items via `wp menu item delete 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58`.
4. Verified the final state.
**Result:**
The "Main Menu" (term_id 23) **still exists**, is **still assigned to 'primary'**, and now has **0 items** — exactly as requested. An empty menu at the 'primary' location will prevent WordPress from falling back to a page list, while the BuddyX theme's icon bar (from `buddypress-profile.php`) continues rendering independently.
**No files were created or modified.** All work was done via wp-cli inside the Docker container `testing-app-1`.
