   Hello all,

   I recently fixed my Kubrick header at http://www.yrfriendmatthew.com to be a neato rotating image banner using the 'dynamic-headers' plugin. It looks great, but I noticed the space usually between the top of the page and the banner is gone, and I can't replace it!

   I'd deleted the header-img.php, and putting it back did nothing, nor did any of the following:

   Changing the margin size for #header in the stylesheet

   Changing the margin size for #header img in the stylesheet

   moving the code for the rotating header plugin around in the header php

   If anyone could suggest a reason or solution why this happened, I'd appreciate it.

   Thanks!

   rarerborealis,

   You might try the following change to your style sheet - specifically the margin:

   #page {
     background-color: white;
     border: 1px solid #959596;
     margin: 20px auto 0;
     padding: 0;
     width: 760px;
     }

   Unfortunately that didn't change anything. I did notice if I turn off the dynamic header plugin it seems to screw up the whole page leaving this message and part of the header:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function show_media_header() in /home/yrfriend/public_html/wp-content/themes/yrfriendmatthew/header.php on line

   I doubt if that has anything to do with anything. I was attempting to base the layout on this site's layout, but they appear to use a form of javascript and I'm not sure how to implement it:

   I'm also now sure if working it in would help fix the problem. Any thoughts?

   rarerborealis,

   Maybe I am misunderstanding then, can you explain the what you are looking to do again?

   I was attempting to create a small space between the top of my header and the top of the page; currently the header hits the very top of the page with no space between it. I'd like a small space between the top of the page and the header, similar to that seen on http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/. They also have a banner above their header, but I don't want to implement that- just the space at the top of it that's lacking in my page.

   I utilized their stylesheet for layout and changed colors, but I think I put in a different rotating header code, and that may be part of the problem, or not, I'm not sure.

   On a whim I replaced the stylesheet with an older version- all of a sudden the problem is solved. The footer seems to have disappeared now...huh.

   Awesome! I compared the ORIGINAL stylesheet with the header spacing done well, and the NEW stylesheet with the footer ok, and voila. Hooray! Thanks for your help!

   rarerborealis,

   It's always good to hear when someone solves the problem by themselves. Congrats you're on your way to a btter understanding of both WordPress and CSS.
