Change Wordpress Menu position (Thematic)

CMS & WordPress
1

Hi

I am wanting to change the position of the menu on a wordpress site I am building.
I am using Wordpress 3.0.4 and the Thematic theme.

I am wanting to move the defalut position of the menu, below the header to above the header. I have looked at the header-extensions.php file in the extensions folder.

I am able to modify the file and it works, moving the menu (div access) to above the branding div and changing the thematic numbering to one and adjusting the branding thematic number to 2.

I know I can create custom footers, placing them in my child theme and adding the custom functions to the functions files in the child theme, then calling it.

I don’t want to be modifying the original thematic files to make the site look the way I want it to. I am wanting to create a custom header-extension.php file to call but have not been able to get it right.

Should I be placing the custom header-extension.php in the child theme ?
The header-extensions.php file is called in by the header.php using the call thematic_header().
I presume that because of the () after thematic_header I should be able to create a custom header extension file, just not getting it right.

Could someone please be as kind as to advise me on how to create the modified header-extenision.php file and how to call it correctly, where to save the file.

Thanks very much :slight_smile:
