In reply to: help! bottom widget area issue!This would be a theme dependent question; and, without a link to your site or the theme being used is rather difficult to even offer a WAG solution.

In reply to: Search function between navigation in Twenty TenThis is taken straight from my test site editing the Twenty Ten theme directly. The first bit is from the loop.php at the bottom of the file:
<div id="nav-below" class="navigation"> <span class="center-search"><?php get_search_form(); ?></span> <div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">←</span> Older posts', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div> <div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div> </div><!-- #nav-below -->Notice the placement of ‘get_search_form’; this gets the function out of the floating issues that make centering an element between the nav items difficult.
Now add this to you style sheet (at the end will work):
div#nav-below span.center-search { position: relative; text-align: center; top: 18px; } div#nav-below span.center-search input { font-size: 10px; }Both of the above samples should be easily added/edited into your Child-Theme.

In reply to: Logo in Header – How to?You will most always need to include a link to your web site or at a minimum which theme you are using for questions like this one.

In reply to: Search function between navigation in Twenty TenYou can try wrapping your search form call in the middle of your naviation with something along these lines:
<span class="center-nav widget_search"><?php get_search_form(); ?></span>The ‘widget_search’ class should make the two search boxes appear the same, now just simply center the search form by applying the correct CSS to the ‘center-nav’ class, such as ‘margin: 0 auto;’ for example.

In reply to: Problem with Green Apples 2-row Menu DropdownYou’re welcome! Glad I was able to help.
I’ve come across that issue a few times while doing Theme reviews.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Problem with Green Apples 2-row Menu DropdownAlthough the site may be “behind a barrier” a link to the theme’s download would be helpful until you open your site up.
That being said … and working from the point that the theme correctly handles multiple line menus and drop down effects …
I’ve found locating the correct CSS ‘hover’ element handling the drop-down effect and adding a ‘z-index’ value (generally 1000 is fine, you may neeed to experiment higher) will solve the issue of the lower lines of the menu taking precedence over the drop-down sub-menu items of the line above.
Good Luck!

In reply to: Using Individual Menus on PagesIt’s WordPress … anything is possible!
Although in this case it may not be too pretty, but here’s a thought:
- Add a widget area under the banner
- Then have a look at this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xwidgets/
Now just create custom menus for each page/post as you want.

In reply to: Logo in header and how to narrow space between catNarrowing the space should be relatively straight forward …
Open the nav.css stylesheet of the theme and look at line 19
#nav a, #nav a:visited {adjust the second value of the existing padding property … try reducing it to 15px.Adding a logo would be much more involved and dependent on exactly where you want to add it in. Most likely you will need to edit the header.php file; don’t forget to make backups before editing anything … JIC.
