Twenty Sixteen Theme- Having Menu button Permanent

In your Child Theme functions.php* file, try replacing this:

wp_enqueue_script( 'twentysixteen-child-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/functions.js', array('jquery'), '20151204', true );

    wp_localize_script( 'twentysixteen-script', 'screenReaderText', array(
        'expand'   => __( 'expand child menu', 'twentysixteen' ),
        'collapse' => __( 'collapse child menu', 'twentysixteen' )
    ) );

With this:

wp_enqueue_script( 'twentysixteen-child-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/functions.js', array('jquery'), '20151204', true );

    wp_localize_script( 'twentysixteen-child-script', 'screenReaderText', array(
        'expand'   => __( 'expand child menu', 'twentysixteen' ),
        'collapse' => __( 'collapse child menu', 'twentysixteen' )
    ) );

still not playing ball

It’s really baffling why the parent theme’s functions.js file is still loading.

Is that whats happening then?

Could it be something to di with this in the footer?

<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'social' ) ) : ?>
				<nav class="social-navigation" role="navigation" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Footer Social Links Menu', 'twentysixteen' ); ?>">
					<?php
						wp_nav_menu( array(
							'theme_location' => 'social',
							'menu_class'     => 'social-links-menu',
							'depth'          => 1,
							'link_before'    => '<span class="screen-reader-text">',
							'link_after'     => '</span>',
						) );
					?>
				</nav><!-- .social-navigation -->
			<?php endif; ?>

Is that whats happening then?

Yes and I think it’s causing the main issue with the menu not toggling.

I think that may only be to do with the ‘social links’,but maybe theres something in there..

I see,if I recall I did edit the footer also,as by default on twenty sixteen the toggled menu also appears in the footer….

let me pull in the original footer file

Hang on

I have now pulled in the original untouched footer.php,still the toggle isn’t working.

Would you like me to put the footer code in a pastebin?

Okay, try this… In your Child Theme functions.php file, try replacing this line:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_theme_name_scripts' );

with this:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_theme_name_scripts', 100 );

ok now the toggle is ‘toggling’ again..but still no nav menu

this is with the original footer.php there now though

Now try replacing this code at the bottom of your Child Theme style.css file:

.toggled-on .main-navigation ul {
    display: block;
}

With this:

.main-navigation ul {
    display: none;
}

.toggled-on .main-navigation ul {
    display: block;
}

We’re in business my man!!!!!
