Twenty Eleven Theme – Remove Thin Horizontal Line Above Header Image?

strongly consider to create a child theme of Twenty Eleven to work with – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes
it is not recommended to edit the default theme Twenty Eleven directly, as an unedited theme is essential in case of problems.

remove the border from:

#branding {
	border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
	padding-bottom: 10px;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 9999;
}

general: for these kind of fundamental formatting problems, try to use a tool such as Firebug https://getfirebug.com/ to investigate which styles you need to edit.

Thank you, alchymyth.

I’ve been noticing a lot of people are saying to use a child theme. I have very little knowledge of how to do this. I find the help pages from wordpress to be very overwhelming with information. What they claim is as supposedly “simple” is very complex for me. I use FireFTP but am unable to open and edit the php files (someone said that is because FireFTP isn’t a real client?). Thank you for the link though. Unfortunately it already sailed over my head :\ I’m a very visual person and have been trying to locate youtube tutorials so I can see exactly what I’m supposed to do. I struggle with written instructions.

What I have been doing is going into the editor on my dashboard (under appearance) and I guess make “manual” changes, though I have been copying the original codes and saving them in a textedit file in case something goes wrong. That seems to be working so far… but I’m guessing that is a band aid solution until I have the knowledge to use an FTP client.

I do use firebug but can’t highlight that little bar. All it shows me is header id=”branding” role=”banner”, which is just the image… (shruuuug)

Is the code you posted located in the style.css?

yes;

line 504, about one-fifth to one-quarter down in style.css

Thanks alchymyth! The pesky bar is gone.

I opened an account at WP just so I could say – alchymyth, you RULE!
