 * (two questions, but I’ll open different topics for easier research)
 * I’d love a fixed header (title + navigation) but when I change just the “position”
   value, the content of the page slides under the header, so I have to move down
   the content. How can I obtain it?
 * I have in mind an effect like this one: [https://www.belliniphotoart.it/](https://www.belliniphotoart.it/)
   
   with a white background for the fixed header (maybe with lower opacity).
 * my website (veeery wip) is [https://impressum.photography](https://impressum.photography)
 * Thanks!!

 * edit: I’ve tried with
 * header#masthead {
    position: fixed; width: 100%; top: 0; background:rgba(255,255,255,0.75);
   padding: 14px 60px; }
 * but I’ve some issues about positon 🙁

 * Try `max-width: 100%;` instead of `width`.
 * If you need further help, adding some more content to your page will also make
   the effect easier to test.
 * As a side note, I noticed you have a child theme set up. I’d suggest you move
   your custom CSS into the child theme’s style.css so all your theme changes are
   in one place.
