    Why aren’t you using wp_nav_menu? And do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues. First create a child theme for your changes. Or use a custom CSS plugin.

    no i am using twenty twelve not twenty eleven

    because i was not able to code correctly for icons that should be displayed above

    so i am directly using the html

    Then do not edit the Twenty Twelve theme. Create a child theme for your changes.

    because i was not able to code correctly for icons that should be displayed above

    Why? That’s pure CSS.

    after having created the child theme, make sure to use a proper php/html syntax; i.e. close the php tags before switching over to htmll, and open them again when switching back to php;

    example shown for the first li element code:

    <?php
if ( is_home() ) { ?>
     <li class="active">
                            <a href="http://www.siteurl.com/shop/" class="active">
                                <i class="icon-nav icon-home"></i>
                                Home
                            </a>
                        </li>

<?php } else { ?>
 <li>
                            <a href="http://www.siteurl.com/shop/" >
                                <i class="icon-nav icon-home"></i>
                                Home
                            </a>
                        </li>
<?php } ?>

    you could also simplify this section to:

    <li <?php if ( is_home() ) echo 'class="active"'; ?>>
             <a href="http://www.siteurl.com/shop/" class="active">
                      <i class="icon-nav icon-home"></i>
                       Home
                  </a>
            </li>
