    I’m using the following code to centre the logo with the navbar below it but for some reason when I do so the navbar doubles in height.

    .navbar-wrapper .brand {width:100%; float:left;}
    .navbar-wrapper .navbar {width:100%; float:right}

    I’m using localhost to create my site so can’t link unfortunately but is there some way around this problem? Thanks!

    That code alone doesn’t bring up any problems on the demo website.

    Can you replicate the issue in CSSDesk? http://cssdesk.com

    Here’s one solution to centering that I have. May give a clue to what to try:

    .navbar .nav {
    display: 		block;
    margin-left: 	35%
    }
    .navbar-wrapper .brand {
    width:			100%;
    display:		block;
    }
    .navbar-wrapper .social-block {
    display:		none;
    }
    .span7.inside.site-description {
    float:			left;
    margin-left:	8%
    }
    .navbar-wrapper .navbar-inner {
    display:		block;
    width:			100%;
    margin-left:	25%;
    max-width:		75%
    }

    May be due to the size of my logo (850×116)?
    That code ends up the same as what I had before, double thickness nav bar…doesn’t look good!

    This is what I mean, as you can see I haven’t really done anything on the site yet!

    I think this might work:
    navbar-inner {max-height:40px;} but difficult to diagnose on a jpg 😉

    Change 40px to whatever works.

    I had the same problem. Solved it with this (as I recall – I have a mess of custom css right now):

    .navbar-wrapper .navbar .social-block {
    display:none;
    }

    Give it a try 🙂

    Ok, will give both of those a try when I get home and will update you later. Thanks for the help, I realise a jpg isn’t ideal!

    @soelver solution will hide the social icons…

    Fixed it (kind of)- I used:

    .navbar-wrapper .navbar .social-block {
    display:none;
    }
    
    .span7.inside.site-description  {display:none;
    }

    I don’t have the tagline now (don’t really want one anyway) and don’t have the social icons but I’m sure there must be a work around there, i.e. putting them as menu icons? Will cross that bridge when I get to it! Thanks for the help guys!
    By the way, setting navbar-inner max height kind of worked, it made the navbar the side I wanted it but placed it above the menu (so the menu was outside of the navbar).

    @rdellconsulting > I know. But there wasn’t any in the screenshot, and the social icons plus the tagline is what keeps the menubar so high.

    For now, I have them social icons in my footer and sidebar, plus links under a menu.
    Might want to put them up in the top again, but this works for now. I just figured TPFoster was going down somewhat the same road. My tagline is included in my logo.

    Good to hear you found a soloution that works for you, TPFoster 🙂
    As long as it’s just hidden, we can always change our minds later.

    Yep, thanks! I had already removed the social icons actually, it was the tagline that was causing the problem, I assumed removing the text would have been enough but apparently not. Looks a lot better now though.
    Just wanted to say again thanks for the quick replies :).
