 * Hi, i found these codes on here and thought I would use them to fix the issue
   of white space in my header. The changes are not working when I insert the codes
   in custom css. I have read that some plugins can override changes however I don’t
   know what plugin is overriding the changes.
    #site-title { margin: 0; line-height:
   0; float: top; }
 * #social-media-icons {
    float: right; margin-top: 0; }
 * #header input#s {
    margin-top: 0; }
 * #header #searchform {
    float: top; margin-top: 0; }

 * what theme are you using?
 * are you sure that those styles are compatible with your theme?
 * can you provide a live link to your site to illustrate the problem?

 * The theme am using is Semplice. Literally every code I have tried that people
   suggest is not working for me. My blog is not launched yet so the link won’t 
   be working. Can I screen shot the front page so you can see what am talking about?
   I believe there is something wrong with my custom css.

 * screenshots are not helpful with formatting questions; also, unless the suggestions
   were exactly for your theme, they are likely not to work…
 * as your theme does not seem to be one of the supported themes from [https://wordpress.org/themes/](https://wordpress.org/themes/),
   you might need to ask the develper of your theme for help.

 * Semplice is a word press theme. Also the suggestions were for people have white
   space issues in general. I don’t know what’s wrong with my custom css but it 
   happens not to work. I also can’t send a link because i have launched my blog
   yet. ;(
