Code Snippet
Sometimes you need to move the Menu from it’s place to a custom location. In my case, I had to do that before the Header (title/logos, widget etc).
Here’s my code snippet for that:
<?php /* Do NOT include the opening php tag Reposition the primary navigation menu */ remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' ); add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
Here’s the explanation of above code:
The first line: remove_action(….); unhook the Primary Menu from Genesis After Header Hook while the second line code add it into the before header.
You can add the Primary Menu anywhere you want by changing the Hook name into the above add_action(..) function.
