Fixed navbar with bootstrap - html

Question

I'm trying to change the navbar in my child theme but I'm a newbie. I read some questions here about that and even saw the bootstrap site, but I don't understand how to solve my problem. I'm sorry for my ignorance but could someone explain to me how it works?
I'm using this theme http://demos.codexcoder.com/#limo_wp and I would like to fixed the navbar instead of this "blink" and float. Just stay fixed after scroll the page.

Answer 1

You can find an example on the bootstrap website.
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar-fixed-top/
Or you can change
<section id="headnev" class="navbar topnavbar">
to
<section id="headnev" class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
in your header file and remove:
// Script for top Navigation Menu
jQuery(window).bind('scroll', function () {
if (jQuery(window).scrollTop() > 100) {
jQuery('#headnev').addClass('navbar-fixed-top').removeClass('topnavbar');
jQuery('body').addClass('bodytopmargin').removeClass('bodynomargin');
} else {
jQuery('#headnev').removeClass('navbar-fixed-top').addClass('topnavbar');
jQuery('body').removeClass('bodytopmargin').addClass('bodynomargin');
}
});
from custom.js

Answer 2

The following command:
Fixed to top:
Add .navbar-fixed-top and include a .container or .container-fluid to center and pad navbar content.
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
...
</div>
</nav>
If you want to fixed menu after scroll the page. You use fllowing javascript code. In this code fixed menu after if scrolls over a specific element. I wrote the following code based on your template.
<script>
if ( $('body').scrollTop() > $('.section-a').position.top ) {
$('#headnev').removeClass('topnavbar');
$('#headnev').addClass('navbar-fixed-top');
}
</script>

Answer 3

just add a class="nav navbar navbar-fixed-top"
I'll give you an example of my code, just use it and see how it works.
<div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" id="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<div class="navbar-brand">Project Nature</div>
<button class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="navHeaderCollapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navHeaderCollapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="active dropdown">
Nature <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Plants</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Landscapes</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Animals</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Elements</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>Blah</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Social Media <b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Twitter</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Facebook</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Google+</a></li>
<li><a href="#">LinkedIn</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This will generate a navbar with a heading (title)
5 menu items of wich 2 are dropdowns.

You would need to add something like the following CSS to a child theme to override this behavior in the parent theme.
#header .navbar {
animation:none !important;
}
If you aren't familiar with WordPress child themes, here is a good resource for you. There may even be a theme setting for this. Depends on what the theme developer made available in the theme's options.

Answer 5

In the navbar div, you should add the class name .navbar-fixed-top.

Answer 6

You could try my css also, simple yet effective if you are positioning it always on the top
.navbar{
position:fixed;
width:100%;
z-index: 1000000;
top:0;
}
