This problem still exists, but I had to remove the tests sliders from my above links and use another non-responsive slider temporarily. I am still hoping for a resolution to why this slider doesn’t appear on the home page, but works just fine on others.

@ konrad THANK YOU!!!! This has been driving me crazy for the past 3 days! Your code worked, and now I can fiddle to get things aligned properly. I was already working with the child theme, so your advice was perfect.
Grateful! – Mel

Thanks Andrew. I couldn’t quite figure out how to follow your instructions, but I finally found the solution on my own. My mistake was looking in the style.css file when the fix was in the theme-frontpage.php file. In case anyone else needs this info, here is what I did:

Edit the
Mantra: theme-frontpage.php file

Reduce the Slider margin to 0

#slider{
max-width:<?php echo $mantra_fpsliderwidth ?>px ;
height:<?php echo $mantra_fpsliderheight ?>px ;
margin:0px auto 20px;
display:block;
float:none;
border:<?php echo $mantra_fpsliderborderwidth.’px solid ‘.$mantra_fpsliderbordercolor; ?>;
}

@andrew, ok. These are the changes that I’ve attempted so far:

/* =Structure
————————————————————– */

/* The main theme structure */

#branding {
display:block;
float:none;
clear:both;
height:0px; /*changed from 75px*/
padding-top:0;
padding-top:0px;
padding-bottom:0px;
}

#forbottom {
min-height:100px; /*changed from 200px – */
}

#wrapper {
padding: 0px 0 0; /*changed from 10px*/
}
I’ve also looked at the Nivo Slider code, but there was nothing that referred to a top margin or padding.
I am guessing it has something to do with the title that would be in that spot because when added, the white space gets even taller, but I’m at a loss to remove the space all together.
