When in mobile, the nav toggles down but doesn't toggle back up?

Pretty stumped. Tried substituting code from my own mockup and the final project files and it still won't close... help :(

If you could submit some code that would be helpful. ;)

Sorry! Pretty noob with the question-asking here. This is the HTML markup, which is the only thing I changed while doing this.

So it doesn't close when I click the 3-bars again. But it does load the next page closed when I select a menu item...

Sorry if I make little sense :(

<header>
            <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
                <div class="container">
                    <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
                    <div class="navbar-header theNav">
                        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                            <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse theNav">
                        <?php

Hi Rachel,

Try this in your header.php file like so:

  <body <?php body_class(); ?>>

    <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
      <div class="container">
        <div class="navbar-header">
          <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          </button>
          <a class="navbar-brand" href="<?php bloginfo( 'url' ); ?>"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a>
        </div>

        <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">

          <?php 
            $args = array(
              'menu'        => 'header-menu',
              'menu_class'  => 'nav navbar-nav',
              'container'   => 'false'
            );
            wp_nav_menu( $args );
          ?>

        </div><!--/.navbar-collapse -->

      </div>
    </div>

Then include your header.php file in your index.php, home.php, front-page.php, and archive.php files (..not sure if you have already done this or not):

Let me know if you're still stuck:-)

Also check what css and js is included. Perhaps you did some css override?
