[theme twenty twelve]

Hi Tess,

Before you do anything else…

ALWAYS Make a backup of your site, before making any changes!!

1. Use FTP to backup the files.
2. Make sure to also backup your database.
3. Use a childtheme to make the changes in
   Suggestion: use the ‘one click childtheme plugin’ to create one.

1. Use an editor [like NOTEPAD++]
2. Use FTP like ‘Filezilla’
3. Open the header.php
4. Locate the following code:

   <nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation" role="navigation">
   			<h3 class="menu-toggle"><?php _e( 'Menu', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></h3>
   			<a class="assistive-text" href="#content" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?>"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'twentytwelve' ); ?></a>
   			<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'menu_class' => 'nav-menu' ) ); ?>
   		</nav><!-- #site-navigation -->

5. MOVE the codeblock down [select > <Ctrl-x>], just above </header> [<ctrl-v> paste]
6. FTP: Upload the altered header.php to the childtheme-folder

Thanks!

Thanks, I didn’t realize I needed to do that.

CAN the navigation be moved by the child-theme’s style.css file’s manipulation alone, or does the header.php need to be edited for this change?

If this is do-able by CSS changes alone, can someone please respond here about how? Thanks so much!

please start your own topic;

your question is different from the current topic, and might even be better asked at a dedicated CSS forum like https://csscreator.com/forum

Thanks. I’m always confused by responses like this when my query was exactly the original question, “How can I move my navigation bar below the header picture instead of having it on top?”, yet I am hoping if possible to use css only, so I can keep my edits in as few locations as possible.

The original response to edit the php file, if not the only way to do this, I’d think would still keep my [exact-same] query on this same page.

Thanks though, will look at the referenced site for help.

Sorry, you need to listen to moderators if you want to continue using these forums.
