This is content.php, I think which is doing all the styling, and showing the “Continue reading” text.

I think the problem is on line 35, I need to tell it to display this on the new page template I’ve just created. testPage.php is the template for the ‘test’ page that I want to be static. Ive tried changing line 35 to include the ‘test’ page that I’ve created, so it shows on there also but that doesn’t work :/

<?php if ( is_search() | is_home() | is_archive() | is_page( 'test' ) ) : // Edit this to show excerpts in other areas of the theme?>

Twenty Eleven theme, downloaded from the dashboard.

Created a child theme, and I am trying to customize the child theme.

I was thinking of that, the only problem with that would be that I could not get the tortoise logo to overlap the navigation, and the title would not be present so less SEO friendly?

I have a very crude and not perfect solution of simply hiding the logo and text when the screen width is less than a certain height, but its not at all a final solution 🙁

@media only screen and (max-width: 1050px) {
    #header-logo { display: none; }
    #header-title{ display: none; }
}

Thanks for your advice in things to read. I’ll have a look now

And another question I have.

When I place the nav bar to the top, and change its height to 100px, for example, the nav bar overlaps the header image, and decreases the actual image, rather than pushing it down to still show the full header image

Problem sorted, I should have placed the image in the parent theme, NOT the child theme.

Thanks for all help.

Resolved

Hey, sorry for the late reply, I’ve created a test page which can be found at the following link – http://goo.gl/kKCBnq

I have been trying to mess around and overlay a div over the image (so I can put the logo actually over the header image), but cant figure out how to.

Again, sorry for the late reply, I’ve been away the last few days.
