// you can replace the above text with your themes text.
// In the below example we are exporting out just the menu. If you are exporting out the whole header.php file 
// that will export out the entire wp_head contents and all that nonsense. You really want to avoid that as you will 
// have an insane amount of items being brought over.

wp_nav_menu( 
	array(
		'menu' => 'Primary Navigation', // you may need to change this to the name of your navigation
		'items_wrap' => '<nav id="main-nav" role="navigation" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement"><ul id="%1$s" class="%2$s">%3$s</ul>'
	) 
); // I'd also add I'm not sure you need role="navigation" if you are declaring <nav -- but whatever

// if you wanted to build the content for the space between your <header></header> tags in this file, that 
// could work and you could bring then include_once into your header.php file, this file. This may make perfect
// sense to me, so if you have questions, please reach out!
