Get rid of the top header thing

Hi,
Have you switched on a child theme so you can make edits easier to your site?

The black header at the top of the screen could be removed by some CSS, but it would normally be used for the more static links of your site, About / Contact etc. The menu under your logo would then be used for your content, I would be tempted to put your top categories there.

Also, take a look at the permalink section of the dashboard, at the moment your site is showing links as ‘https://extraordinarybeauty.nl/?page_id=10‘ and it would be better for search engines to have them show as ‘https://extraordinarybeauty.nl/about-me‘

There is a plugin you can use to create the child theme https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I havent created a child theme yet, i will do that later.

I changed the url to ‘https://extraordinarybeauty.nl/about-me’ but then i got an error saying the page couldn’t be found, so i switched it back

I made a child theme with a plugin, but i already made changes to my parent theme. I have no clue which those were. Can I fix this somehow?

Hmm,
Changing to a child theme shouldn’t get rid of changes.

Maybe you need to make some setting changes again in the Appearance / Theme Options screen. If you swap back to your parent (original theme) do the changes come back?

Any changes you make to the CSS of the main theme will get lost each time it is updated do it is safer to make the changes to the child theme.

The issue of the page not found may mean your host isn’t allowing WordPress to write the needed .htaccess file.

Let me know how you get on.

Hi

Thanks Drew for emphasizing on the importance of child themes. (y)

@e I checked you site. I assume by ” small black header at the top of the screen” you mean the top menu and you can get rid off that by atleast more than one way and the easiest is to add the below css.

#top-navigation {
    display: none;
}

to change the hover color add the following css

#main-navigation li a:hover,
.entry-title a:hover {
    color: #CF595F;
}

Make these changes using a child theme. To know more about child theme check the codex or this blog.

Hope it helps!!

Thanks
