 * When a file in put within the child theme – isn’t it supposed to replace the 
   existing one from the theme folder – it doesn’t seem to do this for me – I need
   it to work. Basically I want to replace the Site Name with the Site Description
   and where the Site Description is the Social Links.
 * Also could you send me the Navigation CSS as well.
 * What’s missing is Search Form page – and could you integrate a way to include
   the search form into the Navigation bar if the uses wants this done.
 * This is the kind of theme I’ve been looking for but really don’t want to switch
   to different one – spent ages looking and testing. PLEASE! 🙂
 * Getting desperate here – thank you.

 * Hey Oliver,
 * There is a lot going on here so let me see what I can do to help.
 * The “Site Name” and “Site Description” code is located in the template-part-head.
   php file which is the file you should be duplicating for your child theme.
 * So first thing is to make sure you have that file name right. 🙂
 * You can email me [danny@devdm.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-451/danny@devdm.com?output_format=md)
   if you want me to take a look at your file and you can explain to me how you 
   are implementing these “Social Links.” Plugin? Hard coded?
 * The navigation CSS follows all of the Bootstrap 3.0.3 ‘s nav components.
    [http://getbootstrap.com/components/](http://getbootstrap.com/components/)
   More Info here about that.
 * Below is an example of a modified template-part-topnav.php that will add a search
   form to your top menu on the right. You might not want to change the search form
   all over your site with a searchform.php. If you do you can simply create it 
   for the child theme.
 *     ```
       <?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'main_menu' ) ) : ?>
   
           <div class="row dmbs-top-menu">
               <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse" role="navigation">
                   <div class="container">
                       <div class="navbar-header">

   appropriate page beside the logo.

 * Well – discovered CSS issue was down to Minify plugin causing errors and wasn’t
   allowing updates.
 * I’ve tried various Navbar CSS but no luck.
 * I’d like to put in a copyright into a footer but there’s no footer page – only
   footer menu.
 * Anymore advice please? Cheers!

 * I didn’t want to over complicate things with widgets everywhere clogging up the
   code. The footer is accessible via the footer.php file. Again, you can duplicate
   this file for your child theme and hard code your copyright or add some widget
   areas down there via your functions.php file.
 * You’ll have to link me to your project Oliver if you want me to advise you on
   the Navigation trouble or post your code.
 * Again, you can email me [danny@devdm.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-451/danny@devdm.com?output_format=md)
   and I’d be happy to help if you are uncomfortable posting the code here.

 * I’ve figured it out – needed to change the navbar-inverse to navbar-custom to
   make it work with the CSS. Once I get the new version up and running Danny, I’ll
   let you know! 🙂

 * Last question (for the time being) – you’ve got a Home Icon on the left nav bar–
   how do you do that?

 * The navwalker class we are using enables access to the glyphicon library via 
   the “title attribute” for menu items.
 * Appearance -> Menus -> “Your Menu” -> Click the down arrow on your menu item 
   to see the “Title Attribute” input box. In there you can put in the class of 
   the icon you wish to display. For the home icon it is “glyphicon-home”.
