 * Hi there!
 * I have problem with Responsive Menu plugin and my own theme. I’m the begginer
   of WP so maybe can you show me the way I can handle problem with plugin.
 * I have installed it and turn it on. I have read the documentation and also I 
   have changed the breakpoints (to 50000 actually:)). Still Responsive Menu doesn’t
   show on my website. It works with other themes but not with mine. What should
   I change or add to my theme?

 * Hi Bart,
 * For my plugin to work the theme needs to follow WordPress best practices as outlined
   below:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development](https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)
 * You can use the helpful checklist on that page too below:
 * [https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_File_Checklist](https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_File_Checklist)
 * But in essence ensure the following:
 * 1. You have the wp_head() function in your header.php file.
    2. You have the 
   wp_footer() function call in your footer.php file. 3. You have the body_class()
   function call inside the body element.
 * I believe as long as the 3 things above are met then all should work ok.
 * Hope that helps
 * Peter

 * Hi Peter,
 * Thanks for your help! I have forgot about adding wp_footer() in footer.php and
   I have added some functions in header. Everything works!
 * Thank you for helpful advice!
 * Regards 🙂
