WordPress From Bootstrap to WordPress Setup a Bootstrap Theme Creating Bootstrap Navigation in WordPress

At 5:44 in the "Creating Bootstrap Nav in WP" video, you can manipulate the menu structure, I cannot.

I cannot open nor move any of the menu structure (Home, Blog, Example Pages, Home). I cannot open the Home that it created to delete it. I cannot re-arrange any part of the menu. I cannot see what I've done wrong, I've followed the instructional completely. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you created and saved a new menu yet?

Yes, I did. I selected another theme, 2014, and then went back into your theme and it will now let me delete the other Home but I still cannot move any of the pages in the menu to rearrange them (in the Appearance > Menus page)

add_theme_support( 'menus' );

function register_theme_menus() {

    register_nav_menus(
        array(
            'header-menu'   => __( 'Header Menu' )
        )
    );  
}

add_action( 'init', 'register_theme_menus' );

Do you have the wp_nav_menus call in your template?

No, not in 'functions.php' nor in 'header.php'. Should I? If so, in which one and where? Thanks for your help, Zack.

Sure would be nice if we could post screen shots for replies. I've tried to paste in my source code for your review, using the requested markdown and all, no luck. If you give me an email, i can forward it to you, that is, until Treehouse fixes this issue.
