child theme (part I)

BB Theme
1

Dear bb team

I created different bb-child-themes with all different template presets. If I switch to such a child theme I always loos the menu in the header and I need to go to: Design --> Menu --> set the menu to the header position. Is there a way i can set the menu in the header from default (within the child themes function.php)?

Thanks for helping

Hey Dominic,

I did test out a few things regarding this and you can set the menu by overriding the specific header layout you have(nav-right, nav-bottom, or nav-centered). You can just include that in your child theme under the same folder /includes/ then edit this part, adding ‘menu’ to the array.

wp_nav_menu(array(
  'theme_location' => 'header',
  'menu' => 'menu name',
  'items_wrap' => '<ul id="%1$s" class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right %2$s">%3$s</ul>',
  'container' => false,
  'fallback_cb' => 'FLTheme::nav_menu_fallback'
));

Hope this helps!

Ben
