In your custom_functions.php file add the following code. You can put it anywhere you want but I recommend putting it at the top after the opening php tag.
/*move the nav bar below the header*/
remove_action(’thesis_hook_before_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);
add_action(’thesis_hook_after_header’, ‘thesis_nav_menu’);
{ 10 comments… read them below or add one }

Hi
can I use this code with OpenHook and just put the remove_action…before the header
and the add_action after the header?
Would I still need the /*move the nav bar below the header*/ if so, where?
I already had one white screen of death experience trying this on my own, so I’m asking before every move now!
thanks
Pam

Thanks for the great tutorial! Worked like a charm.

@pam-
Anything that’s inside of the /* [Example] */ is completely ignored by the browser – that’s a “comment.”
The reason you want to comment your code (as a habit) is so 1) someone else can look at your code and understand what’s going on and 2) so -you- can come back after a month or two (or six) and understand the purpose of the code it’s describing.
Hope that helps!

I went to my root file on my web server, found custom_functions.php folder, opened it up. it opened up a dreamweaver file (which I don’t know how to use). I copy pasted the code above, then saved the file on my desktop. it didn’t show up as a change on my site. what to do?

I’ve checked all my permissions, they seem to be fine. Now when I upload my custom_functions.php file to my server, my website comes up with an error at the top, in black and a blank page to follow. I ended up deleting the customs_functions.php file on my server (it’s still on my desktop) in order to get my site back up.
Why is it doing this? Don’t I need to have that file on my server to make any changes?

This is the message that comes up on my site:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<’ in /home/halalchef/myhalalkitchen.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_15/custom/custom_functions.php on line 33

I did what you said- changed title to “Thesis”, made sure quotes were straight up, etc. and now the entire site is gone. I deleted the file I uploaded that messed up the site, but the site is still gone completely.

Thanks for explaining the proper details. The one missing step that they (for some reason) neglect to include on the Thesis Theme User’s Guide page is *where* in the he// within the dang code to put this code!!! Without your clarification, it would have been trial and error hoping I got it right. So…thank you for: “You can put it anywhere you want but I recommend putting it at the top after the opening php tag.” This bit was ultimately the most helpful info!

If you would like to leave a comment and you have examples of code you want to show, you must "escape the code". This allows the entire code to show correctly by inserting certain variable around certain tags to make them show. If you don't "escape the code" your code will show up broken, mangled, and it won't be able to be seen correctly. "Escaping the code" is very simple...
