I use TwentyTwelve as the parent theme for most of my site development.
However, when i change any styling or positioning associated with the menu, the responsive nature of menu does not come into effect on small-screens. Instead, all the menu items are displayed in a vertical list.
What i did:
Created a new child theme Created header.php by copy pasting contents from original header.php file, Created a style.css and added style overrides here.
Then i moved the site-navigation div into hgroup so that i could display menu at top, just after the logo. Tried to add some margins to .main-navigation and the menu does not fallback to responsive layout on small screen.
This is how the menu looks on small screen:
Here is the header.php code:
<?php
/**
* The Header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <div id="main">
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0
*/
