Twenty Eleven whitespace under header

You need to have a child theme or custom CSS set up before you make changes like that – see:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes

or if you are only making CSS changes you can use a plugin such as JetPack or Custom CSS manager.

If you have already made changes to your theme files, that’s not good – they will be overwritten when WP is updated.

Thank you.

I did create a couple different child themes with different plugins, but they change the style.css to:

/*
Theme Name: childtwentyeleven
Description: VFW version of twenty eleven
Author: vfw4249
Template: twentyeleven

(optional values you can add: Theme URI, Author URI, Version)
*/

@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

or something similar.

Do just add suggested changes that I find in this forum to the bottom of this file? Or am I missing something.

As you can tell, I am very new to this.

Yes you can add the css changes to the bottom of that file. The import basically takes the entire twenty eleven css file and places where the @import is.

If there was this css in the twentyeleven theme making the text red:

.big-box{
    color:blue;
}

And you placed this below the import:

.big-box{
    color:red;
}

If would overwrite the first big-box and make the text red.

Thank you.

I have discovered that there is too much to change if I use either of the childs. So I’m going to post a new subject about how to use PC Custom CSS.
