thank you tara, i just got it resolved. i added

#access {
margin-top:65px;
}

to my css. easy! thanks.

Just to let you know, your instructions worked and I now have the icons in my primary menu! And it is all in line thanks to the code you gave me above that.

I am still trying to figure out this random pixel/graphics issue. But it is small so if I can’t solve it I will survive 🙂

I am wondering if I can disable the top bar and add some spacing between the header/menu and the top of the page some other way. Right now if I have the top bar enabled, you can’t see anything unless you look at it via a mobile phone — then there is a horizontal line. I’d like to get rid of that by turning off the top bar and instead adding spacing so that the site title and menu don’t jump to the top of the screen.

is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks again for all of your help.

Thank you both for the help.

I understand what you mean about making the title into a logo, but I think it would take me a while to figure all that out and I’m pressed for time. I may have to live with the blip on the screen. I tried removing all the custom CSS and noticed that it was still there. Maybe it was there beforehand and I didn’t notice? And has something to do with my background image plugin? I am not sure…

I would love to find that decimal and change it to a comma but have no idea where to look for it! I tried adding the correct version to my custom css but that didn’t help. There is no makeitso file that I could find through my file manager — there is a wp content folder, wp admin, and more, and they each have many files, but again I don’t know where to begin looking. And should I look via my file manager or through the theme interface?

Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for help. And even more for the compliment! I’m just working out these last kinks so the page can go live.

The code worked to get the graphic glitch out of the left A. (I changed to percentages from 40-60 to 45-55 to get the right A visible). But the weird spot is still there to the left of the A (or underneath it if I view the page on my phone. So I guess the code you gave me moved the site title over a bit, but the pixel spot is still there.

It’s a slight thing and I’ll live with it if need be, but do you have any idea what’s causing it? It wasn’t there in the beginning before I started this.

Thanks again!

Well I was able to undo what I did via file manager, but couldn’t edit my last post to delete it. But the site is back up. I guess pasting the header.php text into the functions.php file of the child theme was the wrong step. How do I do that?

Thanks

Hi again Marcellas,

Thanks for the reply about moving the social icons. I’ve been working on other things too but will try it out soon.

I have a question about the header that you helped me with earlier though. After tweaking the font size and the percentages in the code you gave me, I got the header to line up pretty well with the primary menu. But, for some reason, there is I strange pixel issue on the A of Astralingua in the site title. It shows up in both safari and chrome in the A. If I look at the site on my iphone, the pixel is below the A, but still there in a strange discoloration. I don’t understand what it is, but anything I tweak in the code to eliminate it messes up the alignment I achieved.

This is the site again – http://www.astralingua.com/makeitso

And this is the code I added:

#branding {
width: 40%;
}
#access {
float:right;
width: 60%;
}
#site-title span a {
font-size: 60px;
}
#site-title {
line-height: 0;
}
#access > .menu > ul > li > a > span {
border-left: 1px solid;
border-right: 0 none;
box-shadow: -1px 0 0;
font-size: 14px;
}
#header, #main, #topbar-inner {
max-width: 1246px;
}

I hope that all makes sense! It’s a little thing but I imagine it is an easy fix, I just don’t know where to begin. I’ll try your suggestion on the social icons next and let you know if it works.

Thanks again,
Anne

I am in the midst of trying to redirect to the subdirectory. I thought I had it all figured out but still have a few glitches :/
Thanks for your help thus far
