Remove Navigation Bar

How do I go about removing the main navigation bar? I have the custom menu plugin for buddypress so I do not need the main navigation bar, I just want to remove it.

@allenwbritthotmail There are 2 ways to remove the navigation menu:
1) Add this code to your child theme custom.css file:
.main-navigation{display:none;}
2) Copy header.php from the parent theme into the child theme and remove the navigation from the file, you will find the element with the class main-navigation and remove the entire contents.

Awesome it worked perfect! Thanks for the help….

Thank you for your help with the navigation bar, I hate to keep making adjustments but now that I have the navigation removed I am realizing I would like to remove the header, but keep that floating navigation on the right… is that possible?

@allenwbritthotmail try adding this to your custom.css file:
.site-header .site-name{display:none;}

To speed things along you can use FireBug for Firefox or Chrome/IE developer tools and use the inspect element tool to see exactly which CSS element to edit. Then you don’t have to wait for me to respond to simple inquiries like this 🙂

Once you do that you will probably want to edit these values as well. You will have to play with them until you get the desired result:

.header-inner{
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
min-height: 84px;
}
