Hi there, first I wanted to let you know that Hexa is back in the ww.wp.xz.cn directory under its original name, and now has its own support forum:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/hexa
The menu items’ show/hide behaviour is helped along by the functions in js/menus.js. Hope this helps point you in the right direction to be able to make the changes in functionality that you’re looking for.
Kathryn,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have downloaded and added the most updated version of Hexa to my site. Unfortunately It seems that the js folder keeps getting corrupted. Is this an error on my end or with the downloaded files themselves.
Thanks!
Could you let me know in what way specifically the js folder seems like it’s corrupted? I just downloaded it from ww.wp.xz.cn and was able to open its three files fine.
Are you downloading Hexa from ww.wp.xz.cn:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/hexa
Or via the sidebar link on WordPress.com?
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/hexa/
I downloaded the theme from ww.wp.xz.cn, my site is hosted on our university servers so I usually download the theme to my machine then manually add it to the themes folder of my site on the server.
When I go to the folder to open the file and edit it on the computer, a window tells me that the file has been corrupted. I don’t see an option to edit the file itself when logged into the site on a a web browser.

In what program are you trying to edit the file?
I suggest editing theme files in a code editor, like TextEditor or Sublime.
Be careful not to edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated. The best way to make changes to a theme is to use a child theme, so your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

I typically edit files in Text edit, or sometimes dreamweaver. I was able to successfully get the file opened finally. But I having trouble figuring out how to get the toggle-menu to stay open on default..
Any advice?
Try adding this piece of custom CSS:
.panel#menu-toggle-nav {
display: block;
}
This should be the effect:
Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten when the theme is updated.
An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the Jetpack plugin and activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
As alternatives, you could either install a standalone custom CSS plugin, or create a child theme.
That worked perfect. Thanks so much!
Great – you’re welcome. 🙂

leclerro19 – please provide a link to your site so we can take a look.
Merci pour votre repose rapide.

Merci pour votre aide.
leclerro19 – Thanks for the link. Your menu is already defaulting to be open, so I’m not clear on what the issue is. If you’re looking to do something other than getting the menu to default open, please start a new thread as that is a different question than the original one here, and this thread was already marked as resolved.
