 * In WP Admin Dashboard
    Under Appearance , click on menus. You will find the page
   menu items to edit.
 * If you want to edit the php file via FTP , you should search for a file called
   header.php under wp-content/themes/shapely (I assume you are using shapely theme)
 * *Avoid editing the source file , always use Admin Dashboard , so that you won’t
   mess up with the site.
    *Also take a back-up before you do any changes.
 * Hope it helps !!

    this is the file to edit the menu

 * Ok. I thought header.php was just the default worpress file. I’ve looked in it
   and, whilst it contains some menu code, the code for my entire menu isn’t in 
   there?

 * In that case , you can check /wp-content/themes/shapely/functions.php file for
   full menu code functions
    ( I assume ,it’s located in theme functions.php )
