 * Hi there,
 * I am using this theme and at the point I would need tertiary navigation on the
   main menu.
    Any recommendation on how to add 3 navigation levels within Flat 
   Boostrap?
 * Cheers

 * The theme does have a Page Top widget area and you could add a custom menu widget
   there. If you have a large featured image on any pages, it will display below
   that, though. You’d also have to style the custom menu with CSS to make it horizontal,
   remove the bullets, etc.
 * I’ve considered styling some widgets in the Page Top and Page Bottom area, but
   wasn’t sure if most people would benefit from that. Those widget areas are designed
   to be full-width for adding call-to-action sections.
 * What would probably look better is if you added a simple menu to the very top
   of the site. That’s a pretty common layout. You’d still have to style the menu,
   though. Or you could assign it the same class that the footer menu uses, which
   is “footer-nav-menu”. You can also add the class “pull-right”. That would probably
   look pretty good.
 * There are a couple of ways to do it on the PHP side, but this is the easiest.
   You can add a call to the custom menu in the header.php file. I’d do it right
   after the opening <header> tag. That file already has the code for the primary
   nav menu so you can do something very similar. Like this:
 *     ```
       <?php wp_nav_menu(
       	array(  'menu' => 'tertiary', //name of menu you want
       	'container_class' => 'tertiary-menu', //<nav> or <div> class
       	'menu_class' => 'footer-nav-menu pull-right' //<ul> class
       ) ?>
       ```
   
 * You might want to consider creating a child theme, though, so your changes are
   preserved when you upgrade the Flat Bootstrap theme. A sample child theme is 
   provided in the flat-bootstrap-child directory. Copy that directory up to the/
   themes folder, then copy in the parent theme’s header.php file and edit that.
