I figured it out. h2.post-title did work. The problem was user error. I was making the changes on my local test site but checking them on my actual site. 🙁

Hhm… okay, I just tried the following code and got it to lower where I wanted it:

h4.heading {color: #000; margin-bottom: -1em;}

First I tried adding to the number to see if the space would be increased and it did. Then I tried 0 again and it was spaced the way it was originally. Then it occurred to me that I hadn’t tried a negative number yet. Oddly, it worked. Would there be any issues setting it up like this? Everything looks fine so far, so hopefully this is the correct solution.

Okay, figured it out on my own (well, sorta). Used this thread and code from bdbrown for reference: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-avatar-next-to-byline?replies=4

I had to change things a bit. I added the avatar code into the single-author-date.php file rather than the single.php. Not sure if there’s an issue doing this, but it helped me align things better. I wanted the avatar to retain it’s look and appear much smaller, so this is what I added to style.css:

.single .byline-avatar img {
    width: 3%;	/* adjust size of image if needed */
    height: auto;
    float: left;
    margin-right: 5px;	/* adjust space around image */
}

Hi Denzel,
As I mentioned, I already had it displaying, but it wasn’t showing up correctly. That function is what I used, but I wasn’t sure where to place it exactly and what styling options to apply so it appeared on the page properly.

I swear I tried this code last night and it didn’t work. Just copied it exactly how you typed it and it worked beautifully! I guess I must have typed something incorrectly. Oh well, I’m glad it’s working now. Thanks!

Hi bdbrown,
First of all, no surprise, but the code worked perfectly! Thanks!

Regarding the Dev Tools, yes, I’ve been trying them, but not having much luck. I don’t think I quite understand how to use them yet. They’ve helped lead me in the right direction a few times, but most of the time I get stuck and that’s when I come here.

Overall, I’d say I’ve learned quite a lot and I’m really enjoying this whole process. I’m definitely more interested in coding then I was before. Once my site is finished I plan to continue learning.
