- 1). Log into your WordPress admin control panel. This is located at yourblogURL/wp-admin.
- 2). Click "Thesis Options" from the large menu bar down the left of the screen. Then click "Custom File Editor."
- 3). Click the drop-down menu in the center of the screen, then click "custom_functions.php" from the list. Click "Edit Selected File" when you're done. The file now appears in the editing area in the center of the page.
- 4). Select all the text in this file and copy it to the clipboard. Then open up a text editing program such as Notepad. Paste the code into the text editor, and save it to your computer. This is a backup copy; if you accidentally save a mistake while editing the file, you can simply restore this backup and undo your mistake.
- 5). Return to the WordPress screen. Scroll to the bottom of the "custom_functions.php" file and start a new line. Copy and paste the following code into the space you have made:
/* move the navigation bar below the header */
remove_action('thesis_hook_before_header', 'thesis_nav_menu');
add_action('thesis_hook_after_header', 'thesis_nav_menu');
Note that the section between the /* and */ tags is just a reminder of what this additional code does, in case you need to modify this file in the future. - 6). Click "Update File" at the bottom of the editing area. The navigation menu is now displayed below your site's main header instead of above it.
