   to try and move the image above the site title to the right like it is on this
   site – [http://www.qstalk.com/](http://www.qstalk.com/)
 * it is the same code i used in [http://www.qstalk.com/](http://www.qstalk.com/)
   but it is not working for [http://www.ghanalandlords.com/](http://www.ghanalandlords.com/).
   theme and everything is the same tho. Would be grateful if someone could see 
   what i maybe doing wrong.
 * thanks in advance
 * .site-header { position: relative; padding-top: 100px; }
    .header-ads { position:
   absolute; left: auto; top: 30px; width: 100%; text-align: center; } [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)

 * Is it possible you have those mixed up in your post?
 * The image doesn’t appear on the first site, but works on the second.

 * I’m unsure which image you’re referring to on the ghanalandords site.

 * You absolutely should NOT be modifying the default theme files – you will lose
   all your changes when the theme is updated AND it’s crucial to have a clean copy
   of the default theme for troubleshooting. You need to go back and make a child
   theme and make any modifications there – see: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

 * [@jholder83864](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jholder83864/) – it is a 
   different image on the first site but of a similar size.
 * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) – just having problems
   with setting up the child theme which is why i edited the default. I take your
   point tho and will try again. Do you see any problems with my code above at all.

 * Yes, it is a serious problem to modify the default theme – sorry to persist but
   we get too many people here who have created a big mess for themselves by doing
   just that. You need to go back and make a child theme – if you need help with
   it, people here are happy to help you with it.

 * @ WPyogi
 * ok i did follow the instruction of the link you provided but it changes the site
   layout. I am not sure what i did wrong but when i try to create a child theme
   this is always the result i get.

 * It’s not set up properly – start again and follow the instructions in the linked
   page above. Do not use all caps for the chile theme folder, do not use spaces
   in the same. Make sure the files structure is correct – the child theme goes 
   on the same level as all other themes, make sure you have ONLY the style.css 
   file in the child theme and ONLY the required top section to start with:
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Twentytwelve Child
       Description: Child theme for the twentytwelve theme
       Author: Your name here
       Template: twentytwelve
       */
   
       @import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
       ```

 * YAY! Excellent – now just move the CSS code you added to the parent into the 
   child theme so that it’s safely there and won’t get overwritten.

 * @ WPyogi – Just wanted to say thank you. I would like to buy you a beer but don’t
   know how.
 * THANK YOU.

 * Virtual beer is fine 🙂 Thanks! I’d recommend that you make the other site into
   a valid child themes as well. You also need to move any modified .php files into
   the child theme too. Now you’re safe to change files and keep WP updated – which
   is really important since it can involve security and compatibility issues.
