Convert Custom Theme to Storefront – Testimonial/Reference Available

Hi @gwmo,

We don’t ask for anything in return for our help, we just try to help the best we can!

Can you give me an example of what you have so far and what you’d LIKE to have instead?

Thanks!

Thank you Mikey. We literally just installed Storefront, created a child theme and tried to change the height of the header when we ran into our issue. The site we’re working on is:

gwmo.com/darkmoonpress2

and need to replicate:

DarkMoonPress.com

The primary reason/problem, their current designer/developer tried to prove her worth by coding a custom theme instead of using Storefront and a child theme. (happy to share her custom theme and anything else you may need since we can download it with the wp-downloader plugin 0:)

Gotcha!

If you want the logo / search bar at the top, and the menu at the bottom, you could do something like this:

.storefront-primary-navigation {
    padding-top: 300px;
}

If you want everything at the bottom, you could do:

.site-header {
    padding-top: 300px;
}

Thank you Mikey, those will definitely come in handy.

Since we’re planning to use the site for a book store, the Product Search widget may be more useful than the default Site Search and, according to Chrome Inspector, it looks like what we specifically need to enlarge would be the site-branding to fit a much larger header image (868×290).

Perhaps there’s an easy way we can unhook the default site search to give us room for a full width header image?

Hey @gwmo, you could just hide the search field with some custom CSS:

.site-header .site-search {
    display: none;
}

Thank you Job, I’ll give it a try.
