Header

Appearance → Customize → Header. Three settings, all of them about where the identity and the menu sit against each other.

Header layout

• Inline — the logo and title on the left, the menu on the right, on one line. This is the default.
• Stack — the identity on its own line with the menu underneath it.

Stack suits a long site title or a menu with more than a handful of items, since neither has to share a line.

Vertical align

Only applies to the Inline layout, where the two sides can differ in height, and it is hidden while Stack is chosen. Top, Middle or Bottom — which edge the menu lines up with against a taller logo block. Middle is the default.

Header width

• Full — the header spans the container, so the menu sits out at the edges while the text below it stays in its column. The default.
• Narrow — the header is held to the same reading width as the content, so the whole page reads as one column.

The menu

The header menu is an ordinary WordPress menu. Build it at Appearance → Menus — or in the Customizer under Menus — and assign it to the Primary menu location. The theme prints no menu until one is assigned, and it does not invent one from your pages.

The menu is flat by design: it is capped at one level, so sub-menu items are not printed. It is also one row at every screen width — there is no off-canvas panel and no menu script, which is why the theme ships no front-end JavaScript of its own. Keep the menu short enough to sit on a phone.

Menu links are never underlined at rest whatever the nav link style says, and the item for the page you are on is always marked — it steps back to the secondary text color by default, and wears the hover treatment under the other styles — so the row shows where you are without relying on color alone.
