• Hi everyone I m new to wordpress and am having alot of trouble with things. First of all in the layout the search bar is above my header and I want to move it under the pages and header on the right. Secondly, there is a gap at the very top and bottom where the background pattern wraps around. I want the header and center to be at the very top to the very bottom. Can someone please help me with this? The url to my site is manginity.com so you can see what I m talking about. and yes I have already made a child in case I mess up. Please guys help me out even if this sound stupid.

    In the wp-admin under Appearance > Header set “Display Text” to “No”

    in the child theme’s stylesheet change this:

    #page {
    	margin: 2em auto;
    	max-width: 1000px;
    }

    to this:

    #page {
    	margin: 0 auto;
    	max-width: 1000px;
    }

    To get rid of the margins at the top and bottom find:

    #page {
        margin: 2em auto;
        max-width: 1000px;
    }

    in your style sheet and change the margin bit to: margin: auto;

    If you don’t have that in your child theme’s style.css file or you don’t want to find it (it should be near the top) just add this to the bottom:

    #page {
        margin: auto;
    }

    Since you’re using Twenty Eleven, if you go to Appearance > Header and set “Display Text” to no it will remove the black area above your header image and put the search box in the navigation area.

    Have you already made and switched to your child theme? Cause right now your site is still using the main Twenty Eleven theme.

    Edit:
    Bah, sorry keesiemeijer, I took to long to answer and said the same thing. ??

    No problem, that happens some times. And you are right about the child theme not being used.

    Thanks guys this worked perfectly! Also thanks for noticing about the child I thought I had switched it. If I made the changes to the parent however is that bad will it mess anything up? Thanks again

    The only issue with making changes to the parent themes is that if/when the author updates the theme and you decide to update to that version, all your changes will be overwritten.
