my widget blog calendar is not viewing correctly

What is your site url (address)?

It is https://www.blog.thechimneys.com.au
I would also like to place the top navigation menu under the logo?
thanks mate.

The calender problem is likely due to CSS styling. Check your style.css file for styling applied to #wp_calendar.

The logo may be too large, try reducing the size. I would also advise you to set up a simpler menu with drop down lists.

I didn’t find the theme on www.ads-software.com, so would advise you to check with the web designer.

Kevin it is a Golden Eagle Pro, I have then modified it from there, I cannot find the wp_calendar within the stylesheet.css would you know where it may be with it? I will try reducing the logo a little, I have got rid of the header I didnt want, just need to get that nav underneath the logo now.

The nav issues are likely css styling as well. Are you using custom menu styling?

Can’t help you much more without getting under the hood. When you start removing stuff from a theme, it can get ugly.

yes it is just standard menu, I need to add a custom dropdown menu to this somehow I think! Thanks for your help Kevin. Are you a web developer or marketing manager?

You can create a custom menu if the developer enabled it in your theme. Check under “Appearance” in the admin panel. If menus are there then you can use the WordPress Custom Menu Panel.

I am a retired guy who loves to program, and WordPress has become a keen interest of mine over the past few years. I have developed 5 WordPress sites and have recently released a WordPress Theme.

Hey, Kev how are you going?

I have added a dropdown menu but now I have lost my slider? oh no ??

https://blog.thechimneys.com.au/

I added this code to my header.php

<!–Start Drop Down Menu–>

<div class=”dropdown_menu”>

<?php dropdown_menu( array(

// You can alter the blanking text eg. “- Menu Name -” using the following
‘dropdown_title’ => ‘– Main Menu –‘,

// indent_string is a string that gets output before the title of a
// sub-menu item. It is repeated twice for sub-sub-menu items and so on
‘indent_string’ => ‘- ‘,

// indent_after is an optional string to output after the indent_string
// if the item is a sub-menu item
‘indent_after’ => ”

));?>

</div>

<!–End Drop Down Menu–>

</div>
</div>
<!–End Header–>
<div class=”clear”></div>

What have I done?

That’s not the kind of menu I was talking about. I was referring to the WordPress Custom Menu in “Appearance” and “Menus”. If it is not there then it has not been set up in your theme.

I would backtrack to get your old menu back.

Regarding your slider. I’d guess you’ve done something with the tags so that the slider script is confused. IE you’ve deleted a </div> or something.

I contacted you through your website so look for an e-mail.

Kev,

Thank you for your help and advice, yes I do have the menu option within appearance, I removed my plugin for the dropdown menu but now my site does not work at all? oh no :(, I need to get my older version of the header.php file back up online to replace this one it seems then add the new dropdown menu properly!

Kev,
I Fixed it I went into my hosting through file manager and uploaded my old header.php all fixed, now I will start again. Just need to work out how to add a dropdown menu though the custom links menu!

Kev,

Yes your menu come s up really good! you have done well ??
I first learned html through the original hotdog, then dreamweaver then frontpage then back to dreamweaver so this is a real change for me and I am a graphic designer, I will figure this out eventually ??

You really should avoid changing code in the theme unless you absolutely have to.

Good luck to you.
