Hello all!
How to I remove the thin horizontal line above my header image in the "Twenty Eleven" theme? My website is here and you can see it sitting above the image of the girl: http://www.prairiepariah.com
I have checked the forums and found this tutorial:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-horizontal-line-on-twenty-eleven-pages?replies=5
Neither removing it, changing the 1px to 0px or commenting out worked so I'm guessing this little annoying bar is a different code in the stlye.css?
Thank you for helping!
strongly consider to create a child theme of Twenty Eleven to work with - http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
it is not recommended to edit the default theme Twenty Eleven directly, as an unedited theme is essential in case of problems.
remove the border from:
#branding {
border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
padding-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 9999;
}
general: for these kind of fundamental formatting problems, try to use a tool such as Firebug http://getfirebug.com/ to investigate which styles you need to edit.

Thank you, alchymyth.
I've been noticing a lot of people are saying to use a child theme. I have very little knowledge of how to do this. I find the help pages from wordpress to be very overwhelming with information. What they claim is as supposedly "simple" is very complex for me. I use FireFTP but am unable to open and edit the php files (someone said that is because FireFTP isn't a real client?). Thank you for the link though. Unfortunately it already sailed over my head :\ I'm a very visual person and have been trying to locate youtube tutorials so I can see exactly what I'm supposed to do. I struggle with written instructions.
What I have been doing is going into the editor on my dashboard (under appearance) and I guess make "manual" changes, though I have been copying the original codes and saving them in a textedit file in case something goes wrong. That seems to be working so far... but I'm guessing that is a band aid solution until I have the knowledge to use an FTP client.
I do use firebug but can't highlight that little bar. All it shows me is header id="branding" role="banner", which is just the image... (shruuuug)

Is the code you posted located in the style.css?
Is the code you posted located in the style.css?
yes;
line 504, about one-fifth to one-quarter down in style.css
