I just noticed that the header image is added as the site logo. I tried adding it as the header image, but that brought back the website title and put the image below it.

I then put it back as the logo image and tried adding the following code, but this didn’t work to get rid of the white space above the logo image either:

.site-logo {
    margin-top: 0px !important;
    margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}

Any more suggestions?

I tried adding the following code in the Custom CSS box, but to no avail:

.site-header {
    margin-bottom: 0px !important;
    margin-top: 0px !important;
}

The only time that coding did change anything was when I increased the number for margin-bottom to a number higher than 75px. It then pushed the text down, just like it did before.

And when I even put 1px for margin-top, it moved the header/logo down. It’s as if another coding is overriding the site-header code in the Custom CSS box, which is very weird.

Here is the entire code that I have in the Custom CSS box:

#access {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

#main, .entry-content, .entry-summary, .singular.page .hentry {
padding: 0;
}

.page .entry-title {
display:none;
}
.main-navigation {
    border-top-width: 1px;
    border-bottom-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-left-width: 0;
    border-right-width: 0;
    margin-top: 10px;
}

Thanks, Steve.

As I noted in my original post, I used the custom CSS option to add that code that I sited. So I added the code that you gave for the horizontal line to the custom CSS box as well and it worked beautifully! Thanks!

Your suggestion for .main-navigation also worked great via the custom CSS box for margin-top.

I tried your suggestion for margin-bottom in the .site-header code via the custom CSS box, but for some reason, it’s not overriding the 75px in the style sheet until I enter a number ABOVE 75px. When I enter a number above 75px, it pushes the text down, which of course is the opposite of what I want. Any ideas?

Also, what code can I use to get rid of the white space between the logo in the header and the top of the page. I tried adding 0px for margin-top in the .site-header code, but it didn’t change anything. And when I put a number above 0px, it moved the header down even more. So that implies to me that margin-top for .site-header is already at 0px. Suggestions?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the advice. Which file should I be editing and what are line numbers in the coding that you’re referring to?

Here is what I tried editing in the style.css file for the “Write” theme that I’m using:

Line 574: .main-navigation
Line 577: Changed the margin-top from 45px to 0px; then tried changing it to 1px

Line 509: .site-header
Line 510: Changed margin-bottom from 75px to 0px; then tried changing it to 1px

I tried both changes separately and updated the style.css file, but nothing happened. None of those above changes changed anything on the website.

What am I doing wrong? Is there another file that is overriding the style.css file for the “Write” theme that I should be editing? If so, which file and what are the line numbers for the changes that need to be made?

And in which file and on what line number should I put your suggested coding for the horizontal lines above and below the menu?

Also, how do I get rid of the white space above the header/logo?

Thanks!

Great. That’s good to hear. I assume that will be an automatic update?

OK. Understood. Will do. Thanks.

With 2013, it is able to be edited, which is good news. But the gray box that takes place of the photos with a captions is now a blank space instead of a gray box. But I know you guys are working on that.

How do I fix the theme? I updated both its framework and the theme files to the latest version, but it’s a no go.

Btw, when I switched the theme back to the regular theme for the site just now, it didn’t mess up the homepage like it did last time, which is great.

All plugins are disabled, but it’s with the theme that goes with the site. The last time I changed it to TwentyThirteen, it messed up the hompage of the site when I switched it back to the original theme, but I’ll switch it to 2013 again real quick to check it since I know how to fix the homepage if that happens again.

I went through the master list and discovered that one of the issues that we’re having (a gray box taking up the width of the edit window taking place of a picture) has to do with a problem with photo captions, which is being worked on.

But the main and more pressing issue of the edit window of a specific page being blank is unresolved. The content of the web page, however, can be viewed without issue in a browser. Also, we can select the text in the window and it will show up somewhat, as if it were white text, but we can’t edit it, nor can we click on the TEXT tab to edit the HTML.

Suggestions?

It only started happening after the 3.6.1 and 3.7 updates. It never used to happen.

I just noticed that there was an update to theme files posted on 9.9.13 as well. So I’ll update them and see if that helps.

I’ll also go through that master list. Thanks.

I just updated the framework. The ability to edit that page came back for a second, like it always does when we make a change, but then I activated Akismet again (ALL of the plugins were disabled), and then the ability to edit went away.

I then disabled Akismet, refreshed the edit page, and it did not come back.

I just noticed that the framework for the theme needs updating. Could that be a possible cause?

Yes, I did everything you mentioned except clearing the cache on the site. But I can’t do that since I don’t have a cache plugin. WP doesn’t have its own cache to clear, does it? If it does, how do I clear it?

Btw, when I changed it to the default WP theme and then back again, it did something to the wordpress-config.php file that created an error. So I had to reupload the wordpress-config.php file via the file manager in Cpanel so that I could see the site again.

And applying the default theme didn’t fix the problem, unfortunately.

Great. Thanks!

Do you happen to know about a plugin that allows you to have images scroll across the homepage which represent the pages of the site vs. posts, and when you click on one, it goes to that page?

I’ll do a search now, but I’d prefer to get one recommended to me.

TIA

The test I did was for a fresh install. I would still like to have the questions that I asked in my second to last post answered regarding a current WordPress installation in the root folder. Thanks.

I tested it on another site and it worked great. Thanks.
