Alice, try this,
go to editor and search your stylesheet for:
Header (_scaffolding.scss)
then put this
/*———————————————————
——————————————————– */
around everything in that section.
/*———————————————————
Header (_scaffolding.scss)
.site-header {
float: left;
width: 100%;
color: #171717;
}
.site-header-main {
float: left;
width: 100%;
padding: 44px 0 22px;
padding: 4.4rem 0 2.2rem;
background-color: #fff;
}
——————————————————– */
When I took out my logo, there was still a space in the BRANDING AREA for where the logo or title and tagline should be. hiding/Commenting out this area, allowed me to close that gap between my banner and the header.
