 * Hi everybody !
 * I’ve been looking for a few day how to remove the main menu (the one in the header
   bar).
 * I didn’t find the file nor the code that is responsible for that menu, I don’t
   even know if it’s possible to remove it properly…
 * Could somebody give me a clue (or the full procedure :-D) ?

 * Hi there!
 * Our [theme documentation](https://thethemefoundry.com/tutorials/make/#header)
   explains the options for altering the header via the theme Customizer. Take a
   look through those docs and experiment with the Customizer to see if you can 
   make the changes that you need.

 * Thanks Zack,
 * I already know for the customisator, I use it but there isn’t any option to toogle
   this bar.
 * Any other tips ?

 * I don’t see an option to totally disable it either, but perhaps we’re missing
   it?
 * One way to do it is in your child theme, create a folder called ‘partials’, then
   copy these files from the Make theme in to your theme:
 * partials/header-layout.php
    partials/header-layout-3.php
 * Then remove (or comment out) the navigation menu:
 *     ```
       <nav id="site-navigation" class="site-navigation" role="navigation">
       				<span class="menu-toggle"><?php echo esc_html( $menu_label ); ?></span>
       				<a class="skip-link screen-reader-text" href="#site-content"><?php _e( 'Skip to content', 'make' ); ?></a>
       				<?php
       				wp_nav_menu( array(
       					'theme_location' => 'primary'
       				) );
       				?>
       			</nav>
       ```

 * Hi PinkishHue,
 * I barely tried every option of the customizer… I don’t think it has the possibility
   to disable the menu.
 * Your solution seems interesting.
    I made a save on my host, created the folder,
   copied the 2 files, copy/past the code in place of the existing <nav></nav> in
   thoses two files. Nothing happened.
 * I then directly made the change on my originals folder, (not sure my child theme
   is working) : nothing happened.
 * Did I made something wrong, or do somebody know what to do ?

 * You want to **remove** that code for the nav menu in the child theme versions
   of those files. That should work.
