Okay, after much trial and error in the style.css file, I finally hit the solution. I increased the numeric value in the “#header_center” id and it solved the problem.
(If anyone faces the same issue, I was modifying the DottedArt theme. Hopefully you can use what I learned to speed the process on for you!)
Thanks for the reply.
The issue isn’t in the sidebar, but the header. Would that matter?
I did some more searching and found the following thread that helped me fix Questions #1 and #3.
