Header different width than content below

Hi Tim,

I’m having a hard time imagining what’s going on. You’d have better luck getting help with this if you can post the URL to the WordPress site. Is that possible?

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for responding.

The site wasn’t live last week when you wrote – but is now here:

I just moved it from Squarespace where the header lined up with the content below – and I just can’t figure out how to do it in Make.

You can see that the header area sticks out an inch or so to the left of the border of the content below.

FYI, this is a background image in the header area.

Any ideas how I can line up the left-hand borders?

Thanks Again!

Sincerely,

Tim Magee

Hi Tim,

Instead of setting that image as a background, I’d consider setting it as a logo. Or just using the thumbnail photo of yourself as the logo, and using the site title and tagline features to display the text. I think you’d get a lot more mileage out of the design that way.

To reposition the background image will be tricky and have implications on smaller screens.

Hi Melissa,

Wow. Thank you for your suggestion and for prodding me along.

I hopped right on your suggestion. Hop may be an overstatement.

Took a couple of hours – but I finally found an old thread with this code:

@media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
.site-branding {
max-width: 720px;
}
.custom-logo {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.site-title {
clear: right;
float: left;
position: relative;
top: 8px;
}
.site-description {
float: left;
position: relative;
top: 5px;
}
}
Now, if I could figure out how to pull the header bar down so there isn’t that big space above the header!

Thanks again!

Hi Tim,

Looks great!

Try something like this for the header bar spacing:

.site-header-main { padding-top: 10px; }

Good luck!

Thank you Melissa
