 * Ive just been creating a custom menu and for some reason after i change the permalinks
   to post-name the menu stops working? Has anyone had the same problem as me?
 * Also i have a logo on the top left of the screen and unable to link it to my 
   main page i was using: `<a href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/
   front-page.php"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/logo.
   png" alt="Logo"/></a>`
 * Obviously this doesnt work…
 * Any help would be useful 🙂

   > </a>`
 * Why are you pointing to a theme template file? The correct markup should be:
 * `<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?
   >/img/logo.png" alt="Home"/></a>`

 * Thank you for help works fine, any ideas why the menu doesnt work when i change
   the permalinks around to be more SEO friendly?
