 * Hello,
 * Looks like you have the option “Customizer – Header Options – Hide All Headers”
   turned on?
 * The header is set to have a max-width of 1280px but you can’t see the header 
   because it’s not being shown.
 * Hope that helps!

 * Oh I see now. The header was just the area with the page title. Maybe changing
   the explanation would be good to make it easier to understand.
 * Hide All Headers □
    Hide all headers on the site (page/post title, feature image
   and post details).
 * I meant to say the top menu width wasn’t working but now I see there isn’t a 
   setting to set the top menu width. I thought that was part of the header. My 
   mistake there.
 * As the page content and header width can be set can you add a setting so the 
   menu width can be set as well? I wanna have the width of the menu the same as
   the page content otherwise it looks really strange.
 * I also figured out why transparency looked like it wasn’t working.
    `#site-content{
   overflow:hidden}` The value hidden needs to be turned off when transparency is
   turned on in the setting otherwise the content can never show up in the transparent
   area.

 * OK, understood … odd that no one has asked to change the width of the navigation
   before but please try this CSS and let us know if it is to your satisfaction …
 *     ```
       #site-header {
       max-width: 1280px;
       margin: 0 auto;
       }
       ```
   
 * … we will then add it as an option in the next update.
 * I can now see your confusion between the perception of what is a “header” and
   what is the “navigation” as both use <header> tags.
 * With regards to the “overflow-y: hidden” issue … we have replied to your post
   on your other thread so will deal with it there.
 * Thanks,
 * Oliver

 * Just pushed an update that adds an option to change the width of the navigation
   bar.
 * Please confirm this satisfies your requirement.
 * Many thanks,
