# Spacing under header image

 * In my view (using Google Chrome and Win 10) there is too much space between the
   header image and the page title. Is there a simple fix to control this spacing
   via some add-on css in the customizer?
 * It might even be interesting to overlap the page title and header image, or at
   least worth a try to see how that might look. Simple way to do that?
 * Thanks for your suggestions.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fspacing-under-header-image%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to control the space between
   the header image and the page title myself:
 * .hentry {padding-top: 10px (or whatever)}
 * Haven’t figured out the second question yet.

 * You have a holding page (or maintenance page) on that link which says A New WordPress
   Site Coming Soon! This means that no one except you can see the WordPress site
   you are developing.

 * Sorry, Andrzej, it should be viewable now. Thanks for the heads up.

 * I found this in another Shoreditch thread. I use it in all my Shoreditch sites
   and it works well for me.
 *     ```
       /* Adjust space above entry header */
   
       @media screen and (min-width: 1020px) {
       	.hentry {
       		padding-top: 2.5em
       	}
       }
       @media screen and (min-width: 896px) {
       	.hentry {
       		padding-top: 2.5em;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * Your second question. If you use a featured image then the h1.entry-title will
   overlay on the featured image.
 * Your current header image will, however, display on top of your featured image
   and you may want to hide this either with css:
 *     ```
       .header-image {
           display: none;
           }
       ```
   
 * or instead of defining a header image in the WordPress customiser (which displays
   on every page), you can use a plugin like Unique Headers to display header images
   only on specific pages.

 * Andrzej, thanks for your reply. The .hentry css I described above seems to be
   working fine so far. If there is a problem in the future I will try the more 
   detailed code you provided. The option you provided for my second question sounds
   useful. Not exactly what I had in mind but could have a similar result.
