 * I tried centering the header title a number of way with CSS but it wouldn’t budge.
   Can anyone help?
 * Here’s the URL: [http://www.benoitjalaber.com/](http://www.benoitjalaber.com/)

 * Hi misterfancy,
 * Try adding `text-align: right;` to this section of your `style.css` file.
 *     ```
       header#cc-header h2.site-title {
       	margin-bottom: 40px;
       	text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #000000;
       	font-weight: normal;
       	font-size: 5.5em;
       	font-family: Montserrat Alternates, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
       	line-height: 1.2;
       	text-align: right;
       }
       ```

 * You could fiddle with the header in `style.css` by adding a `padding-left` and
   adjusting it until you get the result you want.
 *     ```
       header {
       	margin-top: 15px;
       	margin-bottom: 15px;
       	padding-left: 60px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You could also ask at [https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fresh-lite#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/fresh-lite#postform)
   so the theme’s developer and support community can help with this adjustment.
   There very well could be a smarter way to adjust that site title.

 * Thanks for the help.
 * The only thing is the header title is right aligned rather than center aligned.
   I tried putting in “center” but then it was left aligned!

 * If I increase the padding in the header it also increases the padding for the
   social icons. Is there a way to only increase the text (header title) and not
   the social icons?

 * I just circled back to your site — everything squared away?
