customize ad spot above header & search

  • Hi all – trying to figure out how to customize ad spot above header so I can do something similar to the New York Times homepage to clearly set off advertisement from content like a line or color block that separates the two. I’m using Jetpack and WordAds.

    Also, is there anyway to move “Search” somewhere else?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for using Mission News!

    This CSS should work well for adding a border to the widget area below the header:

    #below-header {
      border-bottom: solid 2px #000;
    }

    Please copy and paste this into the Custom CSS section in the Customizer (Appearance > Customize), and it will take affect right away.

    As for the search bar, I’m afraid there isn’t an easy way to relocate it somewhere else. It would require some custom development.

    Hi Ben, this didn’t work – I tried a variant below:

    .below-header {
    border-bottom: solid 2px #000;
    }

    Here’s full custom CSS at moment

    .design-credit {
    display: none;
    }

    .below-header {
    border-bottom: solid 2px #000;
    }

    .singular-page .post-header,
    .singular-page .entry-header{
    display: none;
    }

    .archive-header {
    display: none;
    }

    Thanks!

    I think I may have misunderstood. This CSS will add a border below the widget area that displays below the header. However, I don’t see any widgets there on the site right now.

    In the Widgets menu, could you let know which widget area needs a border added (as pictured here)?
