    I’m using a Twenty Fifteen child theme (my first child theme!). In order to fit my site title onto two lines, I’d like to either change the margins on the site title and description or make the entire header/sidebar slightly wider.

    I can’t seem to figure out the CSS changes for this one. Help?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mkuhnell,

    If you’d like to decrease the space between site title/description and its container, you could try this CSS code inside style.css of your child theme (congratulations for building your first one!)

    .site-header {
    padding: 0 4%;
}

    4% is the padding right and left. I’ve chosen this value, but you can play with it until you’re happy with the result.

    I hope this helps 🙂

    I am using the twenty fifteen theme and would like to reduce the size of the header area. Please advise which files to change. I changed the header image size to smaller pixels in the custom-header.php file, but that did not seem to work. I have limited experience in CSS and HTML so I welcome any assistance. Thanks!
