Thanks for your help! Indeed, I simply changed the CSS:

/* Move menu to be above image */
#header #access{
/* top: -240px; */
position: relative;
margin: 0 20px 0 0;
}

And the navigation bar came back below the image, which is okay with me. This all works with the if statement. Thanks for your help, and taking the time to download the ThirtyTen theme. I really appreciate everything.

Seems like this topic has been resolved and then some!

Best,

Paul

I should also say I used a slight variation of your if statement in my code, but I did originally do it as listed above, and had the same result.

I am open to any revised code ideas you may have.

@wprelief I actually want to keep all the functionality of adding a header and changing a header through the dashboard interface. What I don’t want is to have users that remove header through the dashboard to be faced with a large white spot where the header image used to be.

So, basically, if the header image is removed through the dashboard then it would be great if the header spaced collapsed but maintained the navigation bar. With the handy if statement listed above, I lose the image AS WELL as the navigation bar–users that don’t want a big header image are faced with no navigation bar as well.

I do have some users who will want the header image and navigation–so removing the code is not an option.

I am using the thirtyTen child theme. However, I am making this change on the TwentyTen level, since I want to to apply to every child theme that uses TwentyTen. I am aware I may have to make changes again if I update TwentyTen.

I’d give you a link to the site—but it is private academic right now, so I can’t. I have pasted the header.php here.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this code alchymyth.

Currently this code works to remove the large white space when I remove the header through the Admin panel. However, the menu bar also is removed.

Can anyone explain how to do the above while preserving the menu bar?

Best,

Paul
