Thanks for your time and patience. * I have some theories: * When the theme’s author updated Blogsixteen to version 1.4.6 he altered some code that created that bar in one of three ways: 1. a glitch in the header image parameters, 2. a bit of stray code that makes it impossible to entirely eliminate the main menu bar, or.. 3. somehow a border has been created… and if I could find it, I’d add “non” or “0 px” to it, and that would get rid of it. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/page/2/#post-6968593) * used the plug-in to add: main-navigation { display: none; } * no change. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/page/2/#post-6968587) * ok, installed. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/#post-6968582) * child theme, with my own style.css, functions.php, single.php, and footer.php files.

Could I somehow have told the template to create a “border” at the bottom of the header without realizing it? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/#post-6968568) * This is odd. I’m seeing something different. A thin black bar at the bottom of the header image, cutting off the bottom of the picture. Is there a way to send you a screen shot? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/#post-6968449) * the code made the black bar thinner, but didn’t remove all of it. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/#post-6968391) * thanks, tech55541, here it is: * [http://newswriting.com/](http://newswriting.com/) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [black bar appearing beneath header image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-bar-appearing-beneath-header-image/#post-6968387) * christomwebdesign, I already had that code in the css, and it was hiding the actual menu items. But that black bar was never there before in the previous version of Blogsixteen, so I’m looking for a way to get rid of it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Changes in child style.css suddenly being ignored](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-in-child-stylecss-suddenly-being-ignored/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-in-child-stylecss-suddenly-being-ignored/#post-6894327) * Yep, that did the trick.

As you can see, I’ve altered the child style.css to create an underline on any link when I hover the cursor. As you can also see, it works on most of the links, but NOT on the post titles, and I can’t figure out why. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Changes in child style.css suddenly being ignored](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-in-child-stylecss-suddenly-being-ignored/) * Thread Starter [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-in-child-stylecss-suddenly-being-ignored/#post-6894318) * Stephencottontail, thank you! Your second and third suggestions cleared everything up. CureWP, I appreciate your quick reply, and I did add “!important” to the entries.. it didn’t do anything this time, but it can’t hurt to have it there for the future. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Catch Box] Remove white space from the sides of header background image](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-white-space-from-the-sides-of-header-background-image/) * [jacabraham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacabraham/) * (@jacabraham) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-white-space-from-the-sides-of-header-background-image/#post-4487715) * This has started happening to me too. Down both sides of the entire site, narrow white margins, only in Chrome, not in Safari or Firefox. Will try batharoy’s max width fix, but would appreciate any other suggestions as well.
