I have added animated hamburger. How do I link my old menu?

Topic summary

An animated hamburger icon was added, but it doesn’t open the site’s original navigation menu. The icon responds (animates) on click, yet the menu stays hidden. A small leftover clickable area still triggers the old menu, indicating the legacy menu toggle remains active while the new button isn’t connected.

Goal: Link the new hamburger to open/close the existing menu and remove/disable the old trigger.

Context: The user is a complete novice and asks for a simple, step-by-step explanation.

Technical notes: A “hamburger” is a three-line menu button that typically needs JavaScript (or a CSS checkbox hack) to toggle the menu’s visibility. The button’s click should be bound to the menu container’s show/hide logic, and any legacy trigger must be removed or hidden (e.g., via CSS display:none or by unbinding events). Z-index/overlay issues may also prevent clicks from reaching the menu.

Status: No code or attachments provided; unresolved and awaiting guidance.

I have added an animated hamburger. But it is not linking up with my original menu. If I go on my page I can click and it animates but it does not bring my menu up. It seems like the original is still there because there is a tiny spot where I can click and it brings up the menu. But I wan’t that gone and it to be linked to my new hamburger.

I am a complete novice. So if you can explain simply.
