    I recently came back to using the Oxygen theme. Somewhere in trying to fix my page header width, I messed up my primary post’s appearance.

    Previously, the text of the post came up flush against the bottom of its image like this:

    Now, because of my mess-up, there is a white space, and it shows up like this:

    Does anyone know what I need to change to get this back to normal?

    Thanks,
    Michael

  • On your site, you have:

    .entry-header {
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
    }

    But the original version of the theme has:

    .entry-header {
    float: left;
    width: 30%;
    }

    You should be good to go if you change the first block of code back to the second block. What were you trying to do?

    Stephen, thank yo uso much for the help. I was trying to make my header at the top of the page go the full width. I learned the first time I used this theme that you have to make this change both in the style.css file and in the style.min.css file (though I suppose I could make the change in child theme – if I knew how, lol). I’m more of a writer and less of a coder, so it was a big deal when I tried to make the top header change.

    Perhaps you could help me out with something else. I have an Icon that I’d like to use next to my text header at the top of the page (rather than in place of it). Any idea how I might do that?

    Again, thanks. Much appreciated.

    Are you referring to the text that reads “Finding The Balance… And Keeping It”? If so, since you’re already using a custom CSS plugin, you can add this:

    #site-title a:before {
    	content: url('path/to/your/image');
    }

    I am. I just tried that out. I guess I’m more so wondering if there is a way to shift both the title and the tagline right and have the image be next to both of them. Right now the title shifts but the tagline doesn’t. Any ideas?

    Hmmm. What if you tried this instead?

    #branding:before {
    content: url(path/to/image);
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    }
    
    #site-description {
    float: none;
    clear: none;
    }

    It looks like you got what you wanted. Do you like the positioning?

    I do. I feel like it works really well.

    I just posted a new entry and am curious about something. Down in the primary post section, the image for “Compelled” isn’t the normal rectangular shape that the others are. Any idea why this might be? I don’t think I messed with any of that code, though. Thoughts?

    Also, the first image that’s in the featured slider is larger (or at least taller) than the others. I’m wondering if I shouldn’t just uninstall the theme and reinstall it…

    So, I’m not sure what’s happening. I removed the newest post from the slider to see what happened. Another image in the slider went to being bigger than the other. I tried changing the image on that post to another one that I knew was the same dimensions I’d always used. It still showed up larger in the slider.

    Grrrrr. I’m not sure what’s happening… but it’s frustrating.

    I can’t seem to reproduce your issue. On my local WP install, all of my slider images appear at 110×70 pixels (the size of the largest image in your slider, the image of a dandelion). You might try regenerating your thumbnails.

    Stephen, you’re a genius. Totally worked, both on the dandelion and on the blue/magenta snow image that was showing up bigger. Thanks so much for your help. It’s much appreciated.
