Go to “Dashboard > Appearance > Menus” (/wp-admin/nav-menus.php).
Create your menu. Upon saving the new menu, you should see a box appear in the upper left corner called “Theme Locations” and you’ll have the option to select the menu you just created for “Primary Navigation”.
@davidtcarson thanks but I’m now rereading my post and it looks like a screwed the terminology all up in trying to refer to the Custom Header link under Appearance -> Header as the wp-admin “menu item”. hehe. Not the frontend navigation menu.
Just how there is a Appearance -> Background, I thought that there was also a Appearance-> Header to customize the bp-default header’s color/image background. I’m not seeing it.
The default theme in 1.5 still has that option. You can always activate the default theme to see that option.
But it’s possible that the child theme you are using does not support that option.
Are you making your own child theme? Or are you using something else?
It’s a child theme of the BP-Default. I tried activating the parent BP-Default but I still don’t see it under Appearance.
My bad, I just wasted this entire thread….looking in the bp-custom, I found this,
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );
…a little embarrassing, what a rookie.
