Oh fantastic! Thanks. (That must have been the only file I managed to avoid viewing :/ )

I didn’t even realise there was an option for turning off !important tags, but have just found it. Thanks.

I will try first via child theme and go from there.

I’m only making small adjustments to make the entire area of the button smaller (yes, adjusting height and width of the lines – also colour) and also adding rounded corners to the 3 lines to match the overall theme of the site.

Thanks for the quick response (you can ignore my previous post regarding Shortcodes)

Seems to be up and running again today!? ??

Hi

Just to say that I’ve started having the same problem. Was fine a couple of days ago.

API Status is ‘success’

Debug shows: {“expiry”:1404353771}

I have tried de-activating the plugin, deleting and re-installing, but no difference.

Look forward to seeing what you find out. Thanks ??

My apologies.

In my view it was a differently worded question and would only have confused the issue on the previous post. After numerous tries I wasn’t getting the answers I needed and felt it best to address it differently in a new post.

No intention to offend.

….mind you, I still haven’t actually been provided with exactly the help and information I wanted, but at least it’s working and doing what I want it to do.

It probably is. …I had tried in various places and I found I had to pose different questions to finally arrive at the answer I needed.

It’s difficult to get the answer you need when you don’t know the right questions to ask. It’s all a learning process.

I knew there had to be a simple solution and in the end I was able to ask my question to get that simple solution.

I have found one way of achieving what I want, but it wasn’t ideal.

I have copied the themes ‘header.php’ file to the bchild directory and added code in there. The main problem is that the code is kept within the mean ‘div container’ for the page, so I’ve had to add my own ‘div’ with a negative top margin to have it appear above the WordPress header.

Seems a bit crude, but it works.

My menu is linked to a stylesheet and I linked it like this (up with other stylesheet links at the top of the header.php file):
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/name_of_stylesheet.css” />

Hopefully this might be of help to others?

Thanks Altaf …I just saw your post after adding my own reply…

If you might know of a better way to achieve what I’ve done, please let me know. You can have a look at how things are done with the firebug add-on for firefox/chrome

….more to the last post…

On the working page from the link that i posted, the menu at the top is my own menu and everything underneath it is WordPress. But what I’ve done isn’t the correct way of doing it and I’m sure there are other associated problems with the way that I’ve done it (like the page not working when you add ‘www’ in front of the url)

well, kind of. I don’t really want to pull the menu *into* WordPress as such. They still need to be kept separate. ….I want it to be the heading for my Blog(WordPress) page. ..but not to be the actual menu for the WordPress page. I will be retaining the standard WordPress menu below the WordPress header.

I’ve got the existing menu of my site tied in with the css etc and want to keep the same look and structure as the rest of the site.

I’m sure there is an easy solution to this, I just can’t see it and probably don’t know quite the right way to ask?

…another thing I’ve just realised is that the link I sent in my earlier post doesn’t work! For some reason (probably because of me editing the WordPress ‘index.php’ file, the link doesn’t work when it has ‘www’ in front of it. This one shows what I need the page to look like:
