Custom Menu

    Hello all,
    I am running wordpress 4.1.1 Zinna theme and I have been searching high and low for a more user friendly mobile navigation menu. Since I have not been able to find one and I am thinking one may not exist. Therefore I am considering trying to write a custom menu to replace my “tinynav” menu because I really like this theme other than the mobile menu.
    I used a one click install to get up and running and now I’m wondering if I could just download the wordpress 4.1.1 and the Zinnia theme folders, change the CSS for “tinynav” and push it up through an FTP of some kind. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just trying to learn more about web development and solve what seems to be a user experience problem with my theme. Thank you for your time.

    You can do that but it would be best to set up a child theme so if you update the Zinnia theme later you won’t wipe out your changes.

    Have you taken a look at the plugin ShiftNav?

    I use it on my site and like the way it works.

    @matt Knowles Thank you very much for the help. I installed ShiftNav and it looks great. I just need to tweak it and get it functioning in the way I want it to. I’m gonna play around with breakpoints for a while and see what I come up with. I really appreciate appreciate all the advice. I’m gonna get into the child theme thing also in order to set up a dev playground. Thank you again Matt I owe you one.
