As a newbie, I have questions. Do these alterations require an upgrade to “Custom Design”? If not, just where do I find the style sheet code and where do I paste the altering code? (SO, not a geek. But expert at desktop publishing, so if I could find the location of the style sheet I think I might be able to figure it out.) THANKS AGAIN.
As you are using wordpress.com self hosted free blog you have to purchase/ upgrade custom design…there you will get custom css… and you have to paste your code in custom css….
Hi,
I’m having two problems, which I hope you can help with.
One: How do I use the CSS custom design to turn the twenty eleven theme from a variable width to a fixed width layout?
Two: Is there anyway to alter the spacing (or padding?) between the menu bar and the page title? If you go to my blog: http://carvingnature.wordpress.com/ you’ll see that there is a large gap between the menu and the “Hello” which I would ideally like to halve in size.
Many many thanks in advance.
Hi,
To change the width of twenty eleven theme using custom design you have to manipulate and use the CSS.
and
To change the gapping or spacing between the menu bar and page title you can try this code.
.singular.page .hentry {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-top: 0.5em;
}
Please let me know this code works for you or not..

I have tried to change the nav menu color and nothing happens. I copy paste and enter the new color code, and nothing happens. Can you please tell me what i am doing wrong?
Hi Lou….
Would you mind to share your website address?
http://youfrontandcenter.com/
Hi Lou…
Are you searchig for Navigation menu’s Background Color then try this code
#access {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, red) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
width: 100%;
}
Thanks, what parts of the code do I need to change? I tired the hex and nothing happened. Is there another part i need to adjust, it just stays black
Hi Lou
You have to change the “Red” (color name) to hex or specific color name
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, red) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
Great site! I’m hoping you can help with this one as I’ve been staring at my CSS for a while and haven’t figured it out. On my blog, I’m trying to reduce the padding between my pictures and text. For example, when I insert a picture while editing my post, I want the words to be twice as close to the picture as it currently is. I’ve tried playing around with padding and margins, but I haven’t found the right one yet! Any help is appreciated. Thanks, and you are now bookmarked!
Hi,
To reduce the space below the pictures/images try the following code….. ( you can change the value for better adjustment.)
p {
margin-bottom: 0.1em;
}
img.alignleft, img.alignright, img.aligncenter {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Please Let me know it works for you or not.
beautiful! it works! ended up with the follwing:
p {
margin-bottom: 1.625em;
}
img.alignleft, img.alignright, img.aligncenter {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
thanks a ton!
Thats Great Erin….
Feel free to comment if you need any help..
Om, I applied this CSS, and indeed it did bring text underneath pics closer, as desired. However, it also seems to have reduced the spacing between paragraphs of text-only sections of all my posts. Is there a fix that will retain the current reduced spacing of text underneath pics, but will allow me to increase the spacing between paragraphs, please?
Cheers
Ross
Hi Allaboutbasic,
I still can’t get the nav bar/menu to change. I can get the font to to change though. The color i want it is #21005F. I have change just “red” the hex code both. Tried other colors. Nothing changes the bar color. If I delete the “0 0″ in “repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;” the bar becomes transparent.
Also is there a way to not make the page stretch but keep a static size?
Hi Lou….try this code to change the color of Nav Menu background.. Pls let me know it works for you or not.
/*******************For Twenty Eleven Nav menu Background color *****************************/
#access {
background: none repeat scroll 0 50% #21005F;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
width: 100%;
}
/************* Theme Twenty Eleven Navigation Menu font color *****************/
#access a {

display: block;
font-size: 16px;

Hi Max,

Regards
Om
Thanks for responding so fast, much appreciated, i woke up this morning and everything changed, its working! I’m using firefox (with history disabled) as my preview browser, and chrome as my building browser, chrome seems to hold some kind of cache, and i don’t want to disable it, I’ve got way to many cookies and history stored. I’ll continue going about it this way and see what happens,
Although, I seemed to have broken the spacing between the navigation text, which code is it that adjusts that?
Thanks again!
Hi Max,
You can try the following code..
#access li {
padding: 12px;
}
Pls let me know it is ok or not..
Regards
Om
I just added the code, nothing got updated. It seems I’m having quite the issue of the website updating every once in a while, its not consistant, I just tried a bunch of things and nothing is being updated again. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks again for the quick reply!

Hi Max,

Hello again Om!
Where do i specify whether one page has 1 column and another has 2 columns… I’ve been putzin with trying to get it for quite a while now!
-m
Hi Max,
Sorry for my late reply..
you can do it by creating page template..
One Template with one sidebar or column
Another (2nd) template with two sidebar or column..
It is easy to prepare..
Regards
Om
Under what template is the ‘Default Template’ under? I can find all the others e.g. One column, no sidebar Page Template. But I can’t seem to find the Default..
-M
Hi Max,
i think the default template generally indicates the page.php for the pages…

I’ve got another one for you. I tried to remove the blank space above my header image. Here is what I’m currently using in my stylesheet.
#title a:link,#title a:visited {
display:block;
height:100%;
overflow:auto;
font-size:48px;
text-align:left;
vertical-align:middle;

HI Erin..
Nice to see you again…and..thanks to visit my blog and your comments…
Would you mind to Try the following code and let me know it works for you or Not?
#site-description {
color: #7A7A7A;
font-size: 14px;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 270px;
margin-top: 0;
}
Regards
Om
Just tried it and unfortunately it didn’t work. Is their a natural padding on the header image or maybe the search bar is still leaving some padding?
If you go to my site, you can see what it looks like now. It’s blank space is approximately half the size of when I use your code you just sent versus when I take the entire #site-description out.
Any other clues?
Hi Erin..
Sorry for the late in Reply.. due to internet problem your site was not loading properly in my side..
Would you mind to try the following code and let me know it works for you or not..
#site-title {
margin-right: 270px;
padding: 0;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om.
I’m working on resolving a similar issue and tried both methods you recommended to Erin. But neither worked for me. I’m simply trying to basically raise the whole site up by removing the blank space above the header, but cannot figure out how to do it. here’s my site: http://housedevil-streetangel.com/ Thanks very much!
Hi Fivel,
*** If you want to remove the white space where “Search Box” is located try the following code..
#branding hgroup {
display: none;
margin: 0 7.6%;
}
#branding #searchform {
display: none;
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 3.8em;
}
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..
Regards
Om
Well, it worked perfectly in one sense, but now the search box disappeared. I was hoping for more of a compromise. Would like to have a search box on top but not so much room on the top of the page.
Thanks!
Hi Fivel
Try the following code, it will return back to ur search bar
#branding #searchform {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 14px;
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 0.8em;
}
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..

Hi There!
I have a blog header that is 931×621 pixels. Obviously it doesn’t fit to the 1000×288 limit of Twenty Eleven. Is there a CSS code that will allow me to put up my custom header?
You’re help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
HI,
What is your website URL? would you mind to share it?
https://allymumm.wordpress.com/
Its a work in progress..and the header isn’t the one I plan to use! Do you need to see the header I want to use also?
Yes…It would better you use that header which you told me in your last comment…
Regards
I know that! But the question is how, the size doesn’t meet regulations therefore I’m seeking advice on how to be able to change the css/use it! Do you have any advice?
Let me check it….I need to activate the Duster theme in my testing site…
Give me some time…
Ok! Thanks so much! If you need to see the header I plan to use, I can email it to you!
Hi,
I have cheked in my test wordpress site, http://freesmsinfo.wordpress.com
Actually , as you are using wordpress.com self hosted site so your header image for Twenty Eleven theme should be 1000 × 288 pixels.
So you have to made your Image in this resolution……as there is no way to update the php files….
Though i am thinking about another tricks…not sure it will work or not… the tricks is.. If you have “Site Title” then you may use (not sure though) your header image as its background.
you can mail me the header image….i will check it…… om2000_cuet@yahoo.com is my mail id….

Hi Om! You’ve been so helpful. Just two more questions:
How do I remove the grey bar above my header?
And how do I change the font in my navigation menu?
Thank you SO much!
Hi Ally…
To remove the Grey line above of your Header Image try the following code
#branding {
border-top: medium none;
padding-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}
To change font of your navigation Menu try the following code
#access a {
color: red;
display: block;
font-family: times New Roman;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 38px;
padding: 0 10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
Pls let me know it works or not…
They work! Thank you thank you! One last question, is there a way to put the search in the navigation bar?
You have definitely helped me with CSS, I really appreciate it! A lot!
Hi Ally…..
Not sure ( as i have not tested in other browsers) you can try the following code
and pls let me know it works for you or not (pls check it in other browsers)
#branding #searchform {
background-color: white;
display: block;
margin-top: 235px;
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 3.8em;
}
Regards
Om
It worked! Had to change the text align from 3.8 to 2.8 but other than that, perfect!
Thanks again!
Great Ally….
Let me know if you have any problem….
Regards

For some reason though, it works but when I make the window larger or smaller the search box moves out of the nav menu.. is there a way to stop this?
Ally…in my firefox this problem is not occuring…which browser you are usiing?
Would you mind to try this following code and let me know?
#branding #searchform {
background-color: white;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 238px;
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 3.8em;
}
Hi,
Could you please let me know exactly where I put the above code for removing the grey bar. I am trying to do it, but don’t know where to paste this code (even after reading your whole thread).
Thanks for helping!
Hi Graeme
Paste the following code at the bottom of your style.css or custom.css
#branding {
border-top: none;
}

Om
Can anyone tell me how to undo the automatic alphabetical ordering of the hover pages menu that says “Home”, “About Me”, etc? I’d like to order my pages in a row manually rather than automatically by the letter the page titles begin with.
Thank you!
Hi Faaria…
I think you better use Custom Menu to arrange the Pages in navigation menu bar Manually…
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
Thank you so much for your response! Would you be able to give me more detail about how to do that? I have upgraded to CSS editing, but am not sure what to change in the code to make this happen.
Thank you again,
Faaria
Hi Faaria.,.
Sorry for the late in reply….
You can try from Appearance–>Menu…. Then Create a Menu… and then… Select Categories or pages from the left side which you want to show.. Hope it will work..
Regards
Om
It worked perfectly – thanks, Om!
Best,
Faaria
Thats Great Faaria…
Cheers…

Hi Om,
How would I change the space between the menu items and what I mean is the space between “Home”, “About Me”, “Test Page”, “Testing” etc
Regards,
Cyril
HI Cyril….
To change the space about the Menu Items try the following code
#access a {
color: black;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 3.333em;
padding: 0 0.6em;
text-decoration: none;
}
Hi Om, that’s excellent. Works perfectly. Many thanks!
Thats Great…
Hi,
How would I add a thin vertical line between the sidebar and the content as well as a horizontal line between each of the widgets on the sidebar? (Currently, I am using the layout with the sidebar on the right.)
Thank you!

Wow, your blog has been so incredibly helpful. I have a question for you:
I would like for the navigation bar, site title and blog posts all to be aligned on the left. Is there any way to do this? Here’s a link to my site in case you’re needing it: alexandrajean.com
Hi,
I think you are searching for this.. Please let me know it works or not…
/***** To align your blog post, site title and Navigation menu left aligned in Twenty Eleven THeme **************/
#access div {
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0.6%;
margin-right: 7.6%;
margin-top: 0;
}
#branding hgroup {

This worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help.
your information has been very helpful. Can I add a Link menu to the navigation bar? thank you Aimee
Hi Aimee..
Yes..you can add link menu using Custom Menu…

Hi Om, what I’m trying to do now is this: on a just the 1st page, I want to remove as much space as possible between the menu navigation bar and when the content on my page starts.
How can I make this happen?
Regards,
Cyril
Hi Cyril…
would you mind to share your website (which is protected now) so that I can see it? without seeing your site I can’t answer perfectly…

Om
Hi Om,
It’s http://www.christianperformancecoaching.com
So on just the “What is CKM” page for instance I’d like to get rid of the space between the bottom of the menu and the “What is Christian Kingdom Mindset?” title.
Thanks,
Cyril
Hi Cyril
Try this following code and let me know it works or not
#main {
clear: both;
padding: 0 0 0;
}
.singular.page .hentry {
padding: 0;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
That worked, but it did if for every page and I only want to do on on a single page.
Cyril
Hi Cyril…
I have modified the code….try this and let me know it works or not…
#post-468 {
padding: 0;
}
#post-468 .entry-title {
padding: 0;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
No that didn’t work. Everything reverted to the way it was before. What does #post-468 related to and where did you get that identifier from. Just so you know, they are all pages and not posts. I don’t know if that makes any difference.
Cyril
Hi Cyril
Where have u pasted the code? Is my code still in your css?
Hi Om,
The code is still in my CSS but it’s on a dev server which has an identical site which was refreshed today. I can’t really play around with the live site as it’s waiting to be reviewed right now.
I changed the permalink settings to numeric to get the post_id for each page. The page on the the dev server I’m using for the page I want to alter is
http://localhost/xkmtest_site/wp-admin/post.php?post=374&action=edit
Is that any help. I’ll understand if you say it’s too tricky to work with code you can’t be sure of.
Cyril
Hi Cyril
No..that code will not work in your localhost server as the post id will not be the same…and permalink change will not help u….
My code will work when u will paste it in the Live hosting server , i.e in your live wordpress style sheet..
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
I’ve put the code on the live site and it works as you said. Thank you very much for that.
How do I get the post_id for the page I need to alter should I need to do it for another page?
Regards,
Cyril
Hi Cyril..
I know it should work..
Its easy to get the post_id, you will get it from “View Page Source” of your browser.
Regards
Om
Hi,
I think..In your main site http://thebitgen.com/ you already changed the headers and others….

Om
I am trying to decrease the space between the navigation bar and the beginning of the content. I noticed the following code provided in an earlier post above, but I find that there still is more of a gap than I’d like:
#main {
clear: both;
padding: 0 0 0;
}
Any other code to further decrease it?
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve
Sorry for the late in reply…as it was midnight when you commented me…
Also…
Try the following code..
.singular.page .hentry {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-top: 0.5em;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate your helpfulness.
Best wishes,
Steve
Hi Steve..
Did the code works or not?
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
It eliminated the gap completely. It also affected the layout of the footer in an odd way. Any middle ground (smaller gap, still preserving the format of the title within the text area, not influencing the footer)?
Best wishes,
Steve
Hi Steve..
Thanks for your reply…
Would you mind to paste the code in your style sheet (at the bottom of style.css ) so that i can check?
REgards
Om
Hi Om,
I’m glad that you explained that it should be at the bottom of style.css. I pasted it there and now the format is perfect! I put it in the wrong place at first underneath
#main {
clear: both;
padding: 0 0 0;
Thanks for the follow-up and clarification.
Best wishes,
Steve
Great Steve…
Feel free to contact me if you need any help.
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
I have a different question for you. On my site, I wanted to have pages labelled using their slugs and was able to designate this successfully on the permalinks settings using the structure of /%pageslug% However, this messes up the URLs for blog posts. Any suggestions about how to keep the desired names for the pages, but have the blog postings work properly?
Best wishes,
Steve
Hi Steve…
Would you mind to try the following
/%category%/%postname%/
or
/%category%/%pageslug%/
Please let me know it works for you or not..
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
You’re amazing! The first one worked perfectly. My only remaining challenge is to move the site’s blog to a designated page. Any quick advice for that?
Best wishes,
Steve
Hi Steve
You can do one thing…..
Show the Blog Category in the Navigation Menu using Custom Menu…
Please let me know it works for you or not..
Regards
Om
The latest advice worked perfectly as well!
Many thanks,
Steve
Hi there Om,
thanks for a fantastic page, it is a great help! One question though…
I removed all titles from my pages by writing {display:none;} at
/* Headings */
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
clear: both;
}
This stopped all page titles but I want to keep my blog titles…. How would I keep these…?
Many thanks!
Jay
Hi Jay..
Thanks for your comments
Would you mind to share me your website address for check?

Om
Apologies Om, I thought I had included the site address.
Here it is: http://0197f98.netsolhost.com/Jay/
Many thanks!
HI Jay…..
I have checked your site…
Would you mind to clear me the problem again?
You dont want to show “Page Title” but.. want to show “Post Title” is it?
If yes..then you have to modify your php file to achieve this.
Regards
Om
Ah I see, I am using a child theme that only contains Style.css. Would the child theme facility still work with other such files?
It would be great if you could advise me which file I would need to copy across and what the code needs to achieve getting rid of “Page Title” but keeping “Post Title”. Many thanks for your help, I’ll send a little contribution your way!
Jay
Hi Jay…
Sorry for the late in reply..just returned home…
Umm..as you are using child theme….i think you may need to modify the page.php or single.php (not sure as i dont have the theme installed in my pc) Just you have to add html tag div to make the page different then post page and then implement CSS to remove the Title
Regards
Om
Hi Om, thanks again!
Would I make the page.php/single.php file part of my child theme and change it there or change the parent file? Could you advise me on how to use the div tag?
Hi Jay…
Not sure about child themes…. i need to check it ….. do u have skype?
add me in skype. om2000_cuet is my id…
let me see if i can help you or not..

I’m afraid I’m at work at the moment and wont be available for another 4 or 5 hours. It isn’t urgent though so there is no rush and doesnt need to be sorted today. Email communication would be fine but it depends on what you prefer!
Ok Jay..
No Problem….
Try to add me when you will be free..
after 4-5 hours it will be midnight here…
Tomorrow will be fine..

Hello Om,
I got so much help from your article now I have few more questions and need your help.
Firstly, I want to remove the gray area displayed around my blog http://newaboutindia.com if possible or either decrease the size of that gray area.
Secondly, I want to increase the width of search bar.
And moreover I want to display one google advertisement in the header so where I have to put that google code so that it will be displayed in right side of the header.
And when I open any article then it is opened but not aligned properly. Can I align all to left.
Yogesh
http://newaboutindia.com
Hi Yogesh..
If I understand your requirement perfectly…then try the following codes
/*********** To reduce the grey bar space from the top ********************/
#page {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1000px;
}
body {
padding-top: 5px;
}
/*********** To Increase the width of Search Form **************/
#branding #s {
float: right;
width: 127px;
}
/************ To make your Individual post/page left align ***************/
.singular #content, .left-sidebar.singular #content {
margin: 0 0.6%;
position: relative;
width: auto;
}
#comments {
float: left;
width: 68.9%;
}
#respond {
-moz-border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DDDDDD;
border: 1px solid #D3D3D3;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 0.625em;
padding: 1.625em;
position: relative;
width: 68.9%;
}
One more thing I request to tell that I want to show thumbnails on my home page to each excerpt post. How can I do that.
Regards,
Yogesh
Also need Php modifications..
Regards
Om.
To move the header text onto the header image (I find this ugly, but couldn’t see a more elegant way)
/* this stuff moves the image up */
#access, #branding a img:first-child {
top: -190px;
position: relative;
}
/* this stuff keeps text on top */
#branding hgroup { top: +50px; position:relative; z-index: +1;}
/* this stuff changes text size for header, depresses description */
/* and adds shadow so text legible whatever background (within reason) */
#site-title span a {font-size: 55px;}
#site-description {font-size: 25px;}
#site-title a, #site-description {color: #fff; text-shadow: #003 1px 1px 5px;}
/* Colours the search form and keeps it on top */
#searchform {background-color: #ddd; z-index: +10;}
#main {top: -185px; position: relative; z-index: +20;}
Downside is that if the description (for example) is switched off, the things no longer line up. The z-index is to keep things clickable. Also, on load, things get pushed around. As I say, inelegant, but….
I did have the header image with rounded corners and no white bar above, but I got rid of that in testing as the grey menu bar also got rounded (there is no class selector on the header image).
Hi Murk..
I am afraid…would you mind to clear me your problem?

Om
Thanks Om
It all worked except my individual posts left alligned. By the way it will be ok but I want one more help from you that I want to display one google add at the right side of the title newaboutindia.com, can I do that also.
Thanks a lot

Hi Yogesh..
To display google add it needs to modify the php file …So, without checking i can’t help you for this….

ok thanks a lot for gr8 help.

Good day. First I want to thank you for posting these css tips. I have managed to resolve a few of my own issues but if its not too much trouble, I have a couple issues I am stuck with.
1: I uploaded some images for the banner, then decided against them so deleted them from the uploaded images folder and although they no longer show up in the “Header” editing admin page, their buttons still do so now that I added new images to flip randomly, I also get blank headers. How can I completely remove any sign of previous header images uploaded but deleted?
2: Any way to get rid of the “Featured” text on the home page for a sticky post?
3: How can I reduce the spacing below the “” links to the post text? There is a huge white-space until the post text begins.
4: For home page posts, each post title has a horizontal line above and below the title. Is there any way to reduce the spacing between those lines and the title text?
5: This is my main problem. Tables with an image get messed up. Each post begins with a small 3 column table with the left-most cells all merged for the image. But the text/table gets shifted below the image in the post, although it looks fine in the editor?
I know I am asking alot, and you are likely very busy. But any help you can provide would be wonderful and I would certainly “buy you a coffee” many!
Hi Johnny….
THanks for your comments…

Oops! What a dummy, sorry about that. It’s here.

I have no managed to fix the table and a few other issues. All that is remaining now are these issues/questions. And thanks again for offering to help!
1: Spacing above/below the “Continue Reading —>” text
2: Spacing below the Navigation bar and a post title, shown here
http://www.philosopherscafe.ca/2011/07/philosophy-of-religion-and-the-problem-of-evil-why-would-a-benevolent-deity-allow-evil-to-exist/
3: The spacing between a post title (home page) and the horizontal line above/below the text, as shown here.
Om, here’s an odd question…
Is there an easy way to swap the position of the header image and the title text in Twenty Eleven? I’d love to have the header image on top and the title underneath (and better yet, if I could have the blog description/tagline on the same line as the blog title…)
Thank you so much for your input. (And for the record, my website is http://killitwithfire.org).
Hi Spinch…
Yes..It can be done…but for this better u do some php file modification….

**If you don’t want to show description just remove it from “Settings –>General” ..but dont remove the Site Title text
#site-title {
background-image: url(“http://freesmsinfo.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/cedross.png”);
background-repeat: no-repeat;

If you want to delete / hide Leave a Reply only from “Pages” then use a plugin “No comments on pages”. it will delete/hide comments section Only from “Pages” not from “Posts”…..

Hi Allaboutbasic,
I’ve tried both Thumbnail For Excerpts & SuperSlider-Excerpt. TwentyEleven seems to prevent both from working. No idea as to why or how.

Hi,
Thanks for this awesome guide!!
Could you please help me customize the comments and leave a reply-form?
I’d like to:
- narrow the space between the name, email, website and comment boxes in the leave a reply-form
- translate all the original text included in the comments area and leave a reply-form into another language
I can’t publish the site name here but can send it by email if necessary!
Thank you SO MUCH in advance!

Thank you for your wonderful help! I’ve changed navigation bar font, size, and made it black on white (instead of the default white on black). How can I now:
a) Eliminate the grey line below the navigation bar?
b) When the mouse moves over menu items, the items are in a gray box. I’d rather change the font color when mousing over a menu item.
c) Center the navigation menu?
d) Increase the spacing between items on the navigation menu?
Thank you!

All worked excellently — thank you.
I have a question that is probably a general CSS question. There are a lot of definitions in style.css that set a background color. Is there a way I can create my own color name (e.g., my-color #060708) and then use “my-color” in all the places that set a background color? Then if I want to change the color (and I’m sure I will), I would have to do it in only one place. That would let me make the page more seamless with less work.

My web site isn’t up yet; I’m still setting it up.
The postings start with this:
By Joe on 05/5/2011
And I want to have them read like this, with categories and the number of comments.

Is that possible?

Yes.. it is possible but need to modify the php files and checking(which file to modify)…

OK, now I have the site online and you can check it here:

I’m still looking to get rid of the comment bubble (method posted above didn’t work), and to give a more complete posting line like this:
By Joe on 05/5/2011 in cat1, cat2 with 2 Comments
I’ve found the solution to remove the comment bubble:
/* Get rid of comment bubble. */
.entry-header .comments-link {display: none;}
And, to remove the “Proudly powered…” (Actually, I wouldn’t mind just removing the Proudly.)
/* Remove the “Proudly powered by WordPress” */
#site-generator {display: none;}
Put those in the style.css of your child theme.
I still need help with the “By Joe…” at the beginning of posts.
thanks,

Hi! Thank you for all of your info and editing help already listed here.
I do have a question that I would love some help with. (I am just starting my site and have no actual posts yet). http://foreverfashionablylate.com/2011/07/14/hello-world/
I have been trying to edit the size and entire look of the comment form but I cannot find where to do so. It is too huge and ugly and I would love a very simple form, like the original wordpress default. (Just plain black and white, no huge space between lines, but with the comment box listed before the reader’s information).
I have been trying to find where to even start editing this and it is very confusing. I cannot find the comment form information anywhere in the parent theme’s comments.php or functions.php.
Do you have any idea how to do this?
I’d really appreciate any help! Thank you!!

Hi Ross..
…
Sorry for the late in reply as u commented me in my midnight time
One question..are u using Child theme of twenty eleven?
Regards
Om
Hi Ross…
Try the following code . (paste this code at the bottom of your style.css ) if you are using child theme then paste this code at the bottom of your parent theme’s style.css bottom.
**** You have to change the color code as your wish..
Please let me know it works for you or not.
#access li:hover > a,
#access a:focus {
background: #f9f9f9; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #333333);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #e5e5e5);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#f9f9f9), to(#333333)); /* Older webkit syntax */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #333333);
color: #373737;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om
How dare you be asleep at midnight instead of sitting permanently at your screen to help ignoramuses like me within minutes of posting!
Yes – I am using a child theme, and yes, your solution worked! Thank you!
Just a couple of questions, though, please. I’m not sure how to change the colour properly, because I don’t know what pats of the code refer to gradient colour and what to just making a plain hover colour. I messed around blindly and changed the code as follows:
#access li:hover > a,
#access a:focus {
background: #FF8C00; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, ##FF8C00);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, ##FF8C00);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#f9f9f9), to(#333333)); /* Older webkit syntax */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #333333);
color: #373737;
}
Seems to have worked OK to make a plain orange hover colour, but have I messed anything up with my random changes!??
My other question: Is it possible to make this change to only the style sheet of the child theme, rather than interfering with the parent theme? I thought the point of having a child theme was to leave the parent in its original state as a solid reference in case I stuff something up badly with the child theme, and to ensure customisations are not affected if the parent theme is upgraded or changed in the future?
Cheers!
Ross
HI Ross….
this code will help you to achieve gradient effect……
*** FIrst color code is Starting Color (Gradient Start)
*** Second color code is the End Color (Where Gradient will end)
So, if you want to show your color Whitish orage Gradient.. Just select white color for the first code..and orange color for the second code..
Regards
Om
Ross….
Don’t worry about you will mess something or not…. that are simple css….
But if you afraid…then take backup of your working style.css and do the necessary changes……
MoreOver… I am here
no need to be worried..

Haha – good to know you’re always there, Om. I suppose we can allow you to sleep a little in between answering our queries.
Just one thing: is it necessary to modify the parent CSS if I want to make changes to a child theme? Could I just make the additions you recommend to the child theme CSS and leave the parent theme CSS unchanged?
Cheers!
Ross
HI Ross…..
Yes.. Try the code in your child theme first….if it doesn’t work then put it in the parent theme….
If you face problem let me know.. om2000_cuet is my skype id.

Om,
Just to let u know, I took the code off my parent style sheet and pasted it into my child theme style sheet – and it worked! Thanks again.

Hi Ross…
WOuld you mind to try the following code seperately and check which one suits you?
.entry-content p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.entry-content br {
margin-top: 5px;
}
Please let me know they works for you or not..
Regards
Om
Om, I’m not sure what the following code refers to. Is this related to my question up the page about the css code reducing spacing of text under paras also affecting para spacing in text-only sections?
.entry-content p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.entry-content br {
margin-top: 5px;
}
If so, whatever the problem was with para spacing seems to have sorted itself out – dunno why or how, but it does! And the spacing of text under pics is also as I want it.
But maybe the above 2 code entries refer to something else? (As you can see, I do not understand CSS at all).
Could u pls clarify?
Cheers
Ross
HI Ross…
Bot of the code I have given will increase the gap between the paragraph…but will not effect the text at the bottom of the images.
You can increase the values which i have used to meet your need.
You can use both or any of them depending your requirements…
Please let me know if you have any problem in understanding..

Hi I found it. Thanks this page is great. I am testing here http://lenfarneth.com/blogs/mg/ final deployment will be here http://floriblog.com/ Btw is there a way I can replace the wp search box in the header with my google adsearch?
Hi Lenfarneth..
Yes..you can replace…. i think if you go to header.php there you have to do the canges…but..if u dont have the basic of php and html it may breaks ur layout.
So take backup first…

Hi I found it! The website is http://floriblog.com/ Now is there a way I can modify the size of the space above the title box area? Also how can I replace the wordpress search box with my google box. Many thanks. Coffee is brewing right now
Hi Lenfarneth..
Yes..I like the coffee..
to remove the white space above the title box use the following code
#page {
margin-bottom: 2em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0;
max-width: 1000px;
}
and..to replace the wordpress search box with your google box you have to modify the header.php ( i think) ….
would u mind to share me the code in my mail? om2000_cuet@yahoo.com is my mail id..
I will check it and let u know..

Hello again. Hopefully you got the “coffee” payment I just sent. Anyway, I have just started another site with the 2011 theme and all the same customization’s you helped me with before. Seems like I have two issues right now and thought you might be able to help.
1: On the first site (www.philosopherscafe.ca), I had to find some table css code to clean up the table entries I use on the posts. They look fine except in Chrome where the images are squished up against the text. This does not happen under IE or FF. The table code I used in the style.css is below.
2: On the new site (www.strata101.ca), the menu links to two pages I created (Resources & Contact Us), do not show up when I go to any posting? They do remain in place if I go to other pages. If I switch back to the stock 2011 theme it works fine so this made me think its something in the customized style.css. My customization’s are long now so I wont post them all unless you need to see them all.
Thanks kindly for any help you can provide.

I am downloading chrome right now..I will check it more to get better idea about your problem..
Problem 2 :
When i go to any of your post or page the menu items Resources & Contact Us remains in their place ..i didn’t get any problem…
Umm.. would u mind to clear me the problem ?
Thanks kindly allaboutbasic! Your suggestion for problem #1 worked and now the site looks ok in Chrome as well. Tables are lined up fine.
Looks like problem #2 was a mistake. Forgot about WP Cache running and so its fine now. All the links to pages show up properly.

Yep! worked great. Ok, so now, i’d like to use a handwritten font, i installed a plugin that allows font upload, but when i used the plugin, it changes all the H1, H2, H3 etc, thats not what i want. So should i replace the “times new roman” with the name of preferred font, and, where do i find that exact name.

Hi, I’m already using some of your cunning code in a twentyeleven child theme. I don’t know if you know how to solve this annoying little problem. With a child theme, my menus don’t show in IE7. They show in Chrome and Firefox. For now I’ve had to duplicate them in the sidebar but I want the navigation bar just to run along the top below the header.

Hiya Om. Life got in the way and I haven’t been able to get back to customising my blog. Got a little break now…so if you wouldn’t mind…
This query will be easier to understand if you see my site:
http://theboomtownrap.perthpunk.com/wordpress/
I want to relocate the Tweet button next to the Facebook items, and to the right, rather than above as is currently the case. I want to do this at both the top and bottom of my posts. Is this achievable with CSS, please?

div.tweetthis {

margin-right: 51px;;
}
Regards
Om
Always so polite, Om!
And YES, your CSS worked. Thank you! You’re a gentleman and a CSS star!
I think the tweet button is fine where it is, but if I wanted to move it left, closer to the Facebook stuff, how would I change the CSS? I tried changing the 51px to various different values, but only succeeded in moving the button further to the right, or up to the next line where it was before.
I’m not on Skype, by the way. I was, but couldn’t get the sound to work, so uninstalled it.
Cheers
Ross
HI Ross…
I checked it…..
it will need to check the plugins file(facebook like plugins) to give space the twitter button close to facebook.
Regards
Om
HI Ross…
sorry… Discard my previous response..i think i got the solution..please try this and let me know it works for you or not…..
.fb_edge_widget_with_comment {

width: 317px;
}
div.tweetthis {
float: right;
margin-right: 184px;
}

Hi Om. Yep – your new code was spot on, as usual. I think I like the Tweet button better like that, immediately adjacent to the FB stuff. Thanks yet again!

Ross
Hi Ross….
NIce to hear that my code work…are you asking me where i am from ? I am from Bangladesh

Om, I’ve just noticed the Tweet button seems to interfere with the first line of posts that begin with text. eg: http://theboomtownrap.perthpunk.com/wordpress/112/why-has-the-nanny-state-forsaken-our-jocks/
You’ll see in that example post that after ‘news.com’ the line ends and the next word ‘today’ continues on the next line down.
Is there any modification to the CSS that will stop this happening, please, but without altering the position of the Tweet button?
BTW, I’ve been to Bangladesh. Spent 3 days in Dhaka – but that was a long time ago now. I remember having some fantastic small-grain rice at a Chinese restaurant there. Some of the tasiest rice I’ve ever had. I don’t think I’ve come across such small grains anywhere else – and certainly not as beautiful in flavour.
Cheers
Ross
Hi Ross..
Just finished checking the problem…Yes..one iframe in the facebook plugins is overlapping the tweet button which makes the tweet button stop working…
I need to check the files of that facebook plugins to make the tweet button works and also need to check your contnets of that post where there lines goes down.
Regards
Om
Hi Ross…Here is a solution to make the tweet buttons working…
Please let me know it works for you or not.
div.tweetthis {

Hi again Om! Just tried your modified code and the Tweet button is now working again – thanks!
However, as per my example link above, the interruption to the text on the first line of any post beginning with text only is still an issue. You don’t notice it with posts like the movie reviews, where an embedded youtube trailer is at the beginning of the post. If this is a time-consuming or annoying problem to resolve from your point of view, no worries – just leave it. You’ve already helped me enormously.
Cheers!
Ross
Hi Ross…
Got the solution for your “Interruption to the text on the first line of post” Try the following code and let me know it works for you or not…
and yes..if you want u can buy me a coffee..
div.tweetthis {
float: right;
height: 15px;
margin-right: 184px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1000;
}

Om

Dear Om,
I can change the height of the banner through the header CSS available through wordpress
but my banner becomes distorted. It seems that twenty eleven needs to upload the header in the dimensions of 288px x 1000 px.
If I was using a solid block of color there would be no issue of changing the height–but since my header has text, there seems to be no way to change the height. I have tried creating many banners, cropping in wordpress and then changing the height in css–but nothing seems to be working. Is there anything else I can try, short of creating a child theme?
the url is

Many Thanks,
Kathryn
Hi Kweinstein..

Hi Kathryn..

Regards
Om
I’ve just placed a header in the desired size (1000 x 188 px)
Twenty eleven forces me to crop the image
i’ve put the original file on the front page of the site
Hi Kathryn…
give me some time and let me check it if i get any solution or not…do you have skype?
Regards
Om
HI Kathryn
let me know it works for u or not..
Try the following code…. If this code works…let me buy a coffee
#branding a img {
display: none;
}
#branding hgroup {
background-image: url(“http://consultingresourcesny.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/banner181.png”);
height: 188px;
margin: 0;
width: 1000px;
}

I appreciate your site and have found a few of the tips very useful, therefore, I have already made a donation so you can buy a cup of coffee or two. Since you seem so knowledgeable on wordpress and the theme twenty eleven, I would like to throw a couple of questions out to you and see if you can steer me in the right direction. If so, I’ll make another donation and maybe dinner, this time.
First I’m working on a develepmental site. you can reference the test site at http://www.tonymizzell.com. I have two issues that I need help with and it’s kind of over my head. I’m developing a couple or three or four microsites for a pool company and they will all be similar in nature with the exception of some content and geographical information changing out on each site, so I would like to build it off of one theme and use the widgets, etc, to drive content from the database for the localization information.
#1 I would like my widgets to be styled similar to this site: http://www.irmopoolcompany.com.
#2 I would like to be able to add a phone number widget with the city in the top right hand side of the header like in the above mentioned site as well.
I think twenty eleven is the perfect theme to build these off of. I’m not an experienced coder or web development guy; however I can get myself around the files and change css files, etc. I’ve been fighting with styling for a couple of days and can change the widget style but when I change one they all change.
I’ve also tried styling directly in the widget and have had a little success there, but mostly I would like to create several clean widgets that I don’t have to style each time I build a new page for this company.
Thanks for any advice.
Regards,
Tony
HI Tony..

Gee after getting all sorts of great help here with the customizations to the 2011 Theme, my site just suddenly got all messed up and I had to revert back to the stock 2011 theme. I didnt make any new changes to the customized child theme, and nothing shows in the Apache error logs so I am not sure where to start looking for the problem. But the link below is to a screenshot of what the site looks like with the child/theme off 2011 with the previous customizations.

HI Johnny
How are you?
Johnny would you mind to share me the link of your site so that i can check it?
Regards
Om
Oops, Thats twice now I did that.
http://www.stratazen.ca
But I had to revert back to the stock 2011 theme so it looks fine now. But as soon as I switch to the child theme with the css above, the site looks like to screenshot in the previous message.
Hi Johnny,
Good Morning(my side)
Just checked your comments… yes.. your site Looks OK now…. Please let me know when you faced the problem..
Regards
Om
Actually it is NOT working ok. You must have missed the part where I said I had to revert BACK to the default 2011 theme in order to get the site up. Under IE and FF, the site looks like this:
http://www.johnnystork.ca/content/files/Capture.jpg
But with Chrome, it seems to be fine. Since the site does not load properly with FF or IE now, I have to keep the default 2011 theme up until I can determine the problem.
Any suggestions?
Hi Johnny,
THanks for your comments…yes..i missed it… would you mind to add me in skype so that we can chat and fixed a time to check the problem?
om2000_cuet is my id.
Regards
Om
I think I might have found the problem. It looks like the line which loads the style.css from the original 2011 theme, is not working?
@import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”)
So what I did for now, temporarily, is to revert to the stock 2011 theme, make a copy of the default style.css and then add all the css from the child theme at the bottom. So the site is looking ok now, and when I have a chance I will go back and see why that import line is not loading the style.css.
I am sure you are busy, so I wont bother you with this unless I find I still cant figure out why the style.css is not loading. Thanks again for all your help.
ps: Still not getting notifications on updates to the comments here, so I will check my multiple spam boxes/filters.
Hi Johnny..
Yes..Let us know the reason why it was not loading….
Also… I am using wordpress.com free hosting site…not sure why you are not getting email notification… may be it is problem of wordpress.com

Hello, first thank you very much for the post.
I change the background of the blog because the theme options will allow you to switch between black and white only. I want this background (white or black) to be transparent because i want see the background-image.
I tried put on the tag #page{ opacity:0.7; } but this change put all page transparent.
I tried put on the tag #page{background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.7); } but this option does nothing.
Excuse my English but I am Spanish. Thanks
HI,
To make your background transparent try the following code and let me know it works for you or not..
#page {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}
#primary {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
float: left;
margin: 0 -26.4% 0 0;
width: 100%;
}
Regards
Om
Thanks for the reply but the changes did not effect…
I can not think of anything more.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
HI,
Where have u pasted the code i have provided to you? I didn’t see my codes in your site…
Please let me know..
Regards
Om
Sorry, remove it because it did not work.
Already put the code, but you can see that the primary has turned gray and I want to set transparent…
if you want I can show you the effect you want by putting in the tag #page { opacuty:0.7;} but this option put the image, the comments and the entries transparents and I do not want that.
You can see the code that you gave me… thanks.
Hi,
Just paste this code at the bottom of style.css
#primary {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
float: left;
margin: 0 -26.4% 0 0;
width: 100%;
}
Also : paste the below code at the bottom of style.css again..
#page {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}
Please let me know it works or not..
Regards
Om
Thank you very much, now works.
I do not understand why did not work the same code in the upper tag “page” and “primary” and down the same code work perfect.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Thanks so much for the lovely post: its been very helpful. Please I still don’t know how to show blog categories in my navigation menu. I know you told someone about it in the comments but I’m still confused as to how to do this exactly. Is there a CSS code I need to paste? Or is it something I can alter through in the “appearance” tab of my dashboard? Thanks for the help.
Sorry, I forgot to add: I want the blog categories to show in the Horizontal Navigation menu, where the home and about pages are. Thanks
Hi
Just try from “Appearance–>Menu” . there you will get the options to add categories ,pages and others..
Regards
Om
Hi again, hope you can help! Am (still) trying to
1. Remove the grey bar immediately *below* the black nav bar
2. Round the corners where “Blog at WordPress is (just like they are at the top), and
3. Reduce the padding between the nav bar and individual post titles (nothing so far seems to work, grrrr
http://alienfiction.com/2011/08/17/twenty-eleven-wordpress-theme-css/
Thanks, Henry
Hi Henry..
** I didnt get any grey bar immediately below the black nav bar.. can u send me an image (screenshot ) for this?
For the footer side Rounded corner try the following code (pls check it in different browsers)
#site-generator {
-moz-border-radius:.5em;
-webkit-border-radius:.5em;
border-radius:.5em;
}
To Reduce the padding try the following
.singular .hentry {
border-bottom: medium none;
padding: 0 0 0;
position: relative;
}
Pls let me know they works for you or not..

I’d like to change the width of my right sidebar but I want it to be smaller instead of larger. How do I adjust the float? Thank you for this by the way. Excellent information here and easy to follow.
HI Selma..
paste the following code (you need to modify the width and margin as your choice) and let me know it is ok for you or not..
#secondary {
float: right;
margin-right: 7.6%;
width: 17.8%;
}

Om
thank you. i will try it. Also, I saw the code for adding a border between the main section and right sidebar, but instead of a dotted line.. how do I make it the same as the border that surrounds the entire page? same color and style.
Hi Selma
Would you mind to try this code and let me know it is Ok for you or not?
#secondary {
border-left: 3px solid #1e1e1e;
float: right;
margin-right: 5%;

** Just change the border color (#1e1e1e) with your preferred color.

Hi Om,
Appreciate your help with the image size.. the original I upload is of size 650 px width, but it get streched/squeezed in twenty eleven, the size differs based on screen size. How to maintain the image size fixed at max (650px width) regardless of the screen size.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Om,
I’ve tried that but it doesn’t work. I’ve tried playing around with the margin and the width %, but the image width is fixed at 644px.

Hello,
Firstly, thank you for all the very generous and helpful information! I ran a search to try and find a way to remove the search bar from the menu and your codes here were the only ones that worked.
I notice on my site that even though the search box is gone, the menu categories are still aligned the same way they were before, as if the search box area is still “full”. Is there a way to make the categories align to fill the whole menu, and fill the area to the right where the search box used to be?
Here’s my site: http://itsahousewifelife.com
Thank you for any help!

Hi Samuel
WOuld you mind to share me your website URL to check?
ALso..do you want to remove ur navigation bar or just want to replace it with image?
Regards
Om
Sure, my url is http://omgiatest.com
I want to keep the navigation bar and the links, but replace the links with images.
Also I am willing to remove the navigation bar, which every is easier to maintain.
Thanks for the quick response!!!
Hi Lee…
If you want different menu with different link then it needs some more modifications for each menu item
but..you can try the following for check
#access .current_page_item > a, #access .current_page_ancestor > a {
background-image: url(“http://allaboutbasic.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/roger.png”);
color: transparent;
font-weight: bold;
}

@allaboutbasic
Thanks for your help. I found a solution.
http://digitalraindrops.net/2011/08/twenty-eleven-social-icons-in-navigation/
The article really helped. The only issue now is I need to adjust the navigation size.
HI Samuel
Try the following codes… i found the link you shared , they added social icons in navigation bar but u didn’t add anything..not sure how that post helped you..
I think the following code may help you to resize your navigation bar
.nav-twitter, #access .nav-twitter:hover > a, #access .nav-twitter a:focus {
background: url(“images/twitter.png”) no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
height: 75px;
padding: 0;
}
#access a {
display: block;
line-height: 5.333em;
padding: 0 1.2125em 0 5.2125em;
text-decoration: none;
}
Please let me know it is Ok for you or not..

I would also like to remove the black navigation bar completely.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Hi
To remove the black navigation bar completely from twenty eleven theme
#access {
display: none;
}
REgards
Om
Yes that code worked perfectly! Thanks a million.
The last thing left is the navigation bar. Any ideas?
Also instead of removing the footer entirely, what about just changing it
to all white?
There also seems to be a gap on the top of my header. Any ideas for this?
Really appreciate this. Fantastic blog!
HI,
To make the footer (which is not showing now) background white. but it will not help u remove the “Blog at wordpress.com” . You have to modify the php file to remove this
.wf-active #site-generator {
background-color: white;
display: block;
font-size: 14px;

About the gap..
This gap is showing due to the image “Blog” you used in your site(its background is white).. the image is 1000px wide and 288px height..
you can try this. ( if it is not suitable. you may need to modify the php file again)
#branding img {
height: 215px;
margin-bottom: -7px;
width: 100%;
}
about Navigation bar..
What help you need for this?
Regards
Om
Awesome. everything is perfect the way it is. Thank you. I think my last post was sent at the same time as your reply. Sorry about the confusion.
Thanks again

Hey. I would like to remove both archives and meta from the sidebar. Is that possible? I’m a completely newbie.
HI Chris…
Share me your website address…
Om
sorry. its’s http://christian.irmer.com/
i also want to remove “posted on”, “posted i”n and “prodly presented by…” but that might be problems i’m able to solve myself after some hours of work. just “wrote” and installed my first child theme, thats my experience in programming
I took the “custom archives” from widgets in appearance and now the sidebar is empty. after… hours of trying to figure out how to remove archives and remove site admin and log out by changing functions.php and categories.php.
The rest i found out about quite soon.
yeah!
HI Chris..
…
sorry for the late to reply you..was busy with some house hold work
If you need any help just let me know..
Good night for now…
Om
11:30 pm here and you had a perfect solution for what I needed to get rid of a comment bubble. Enjoy the Coffee on me, I am going to bed.

Hi Bill…
got your coffee…
Thanks man..

Wonder if you might be able to help. I’ve tried most of everything you have mentioned so far. How do I remove the blank line between the menu and the text in http://www.rdschumacher dot com?
HI,
paste the following code at the bottom of style.css
.singular.page .hentry {
padding: 2.5em 0 0;
}
Regards
Om
Wow, that worked! Thank you!!
If this is out of line, no worries, but I would like to add a menu right justified to the right of site title with text only links (no menu bar) on the twenty-eleven theme. Thoughts?
In any case, hope you enjoy the coffee and thank you again.
Hi,
i got it….
thanks for the coffee
and yes..you can add menu ( Text link) to the right side of the site title… Just you need to add the text link in the header.php file… but it will need some css and html knowledge.
and if you want to do it..please take backup of your header.php file before doing any modification…
If you need any help let me know..i will answer you in the morning.. Good night for now.
thanks again for your Coffee..

Hello! Thanks so much for these wonderful resources. I have a little challenge on my blog though. I installed a plugin to insert facebook like buttons and tweet button to each post. If you go to my sit at http://www.miccheck12.com, u’ll see the buttons on top each post in the home page. Know anyway I can reduce the gap between the two buttons by bringing the tweet button closer to the facebook button?
Thanks
HI Tunde…
just checked your site… without checking the files of your plugins it is tough to reduce this gap.
Om
So u suggest I leave it that way or find another plugin right?
Hi Tunde,
yes, you can try other plugins…though there is a solution for your present problem but you need to check your plugins file for this…
Regards
Om
Ok. I don’t mind checking the plugin files
hi,
where i can found the author comment in css
to make a change
many thanks
HI,
would you mind to clear me your problem again?
regards
Om
an other question,
can i add ip address under the date on comments
name
date – time
ip adress
thanks a lot
HI Joe..
I think you can add.. though i don’t know the code which shows the ip address..if you provide me the code, i will try and will let u know..
Om
I’d like to do three things:
1. Make the image extend beyond the border and into the menu bar and into the title header area (the wing tips of the planes would overlap the menu bar at the bottom and the header area at the top) and have the feel of popping out of the site. I can create the image(s) in photoshop with a drop shadow for extending beyond the boundaries of the image. I need help with the php, css, html and such to complete the effect. The site is rdschumacher dot com. (I’d still like the site to work well on mobile devices as it does today).
2. I’d like an example showing four text links to the right side of the site title and right justify the links within the header. I have no problem editing the header.php, css and html files but I may need some help in understanding what’s going on.
3. Lastly and I know this is a stretch, but I’d like to learn and would you share some of your favorite resources?
Thank you again for all your help.
Hi Bob,
I need to check your requirements….Would you mind to provide me the images ? I will check them in my hosting and will let you know..

Dumb question i know, but the reply box below does not allow me to upload images. Would you like me to send via email and if so, please provide address…

Hi guys!
I want my header image to go through the menu bar which I have customized to be transparent this way:
background: -moz-opacity: 0.75; opacity:0.75;
So the goal is to make the menu overlap the header image.
btw, I’m using the 2011 wordpress theme.
HI Kristian
Your site is not showing..would you mind to check it?
Regards
Om
Oh, sorry. I am working on a simple html site to redirect to my school portfolio. Until it’s up and running go to: kristianmaar.dk/portfolio. Nothing there yet since I’m tweaking the css before I add any content.
Ok, just let me know when you will finish it..
Regards
Om
Ok… But I was kind of asking for help in order to finish my site. Letting you know when it’s done won’t get me further if you don’t mind me saying
Kristian…
what problem are facing now? would you mind to clear?
Om
I want the header image to be taller and span to the bottom of the menu bar. Sorry for my unclear posts
Hi Kristian
If you want to change width and height of your header image of twenty Eleven theme you can do this from the functions.php. Just check the following lines….
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_width’, 1000 ) );
define( ‘HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_height’, 288 ) );
Please let me know it is Ok or not.
Regards
Om
I changed the values and now I’m allowed to upload images of the specified dimensions, but a larger image just pushes the menu further down
HI Kristian,
Yes…. Image height may push your menu bar down. would you mind to clear me your requirements again?
Regards
Om
The menu bar must overlap the header image. I already made the menu bar transparent, now I want the header image to be visible through the menu bar.
HI Kristian,
Sorry for the late response. Just returned home…Would you mind to try the following code and let me know it is OK for you or not?
#access {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, #0A0A0A) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: -40px auto 6px;
opacity: 0.75;

Hey,
i would like the clickable thumbnails on pages showing small version of the original, uncropped image. on this page for example: http://christian.irmer.com/?page_id=166
is there a way to do so?
Hi Chris,
I think it depends on the plugins you are using… you need to check it..
Regards
Om
sprry, found it in the settings. i expect everything to be a challenging change of codes in some php.files.
thanks
Cool….
Wow.. It works perfectly! You’re a css magician
thats Great….
Kristian, just let me know if you need any help..
Om
A couple of things:
1. Where do I rename the “home” button?
2. Posts are showing on every page I create, can I make them page specific?
Hi Kristian
For 1. You can use Custom menu for the top navigation bar. There you will be able to rename the Home
For 2. Are you using any plugins for “Recent Posts” ? or something like that? normally posts doesn’t show with page…..

Hi Om,
How do I get an image as background instead of the default #e2e2e2 color?
from style.css:
/* =Global
———————————————– */
body, input, textarea {
color: #373737;
font: 15px “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: 300;
line-height: 1.625;
}
body {
background: #e2e2e2;
}
I want a patern image to repeat behind the background image that I defined in the wp cms.
Thanks!
HI Kristian,
sorry for the late again..just returned home..
just checked your site… u already changed your site’s body background…
what help i can do for you? pls let me know..
Regards
Om
I found the piece of code that fetches the blue comment-bubble.png for comments – I didn’t want it to show so I pasted a display:none in the section.
However, the background image I created (a 50×50 gray dot) won’t show. I want it to repeat vertically and horizontally but I can’t figure out which code to use.
Here’s the code I’m using right now:
}
body {
background: #eee url(images/bg-rep.png) repeat;
}
Kristian..
are u using http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio or other site?
Om
Yep, it’s http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/
Still a sketch – I know
Kristian,
the image,http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bg.png, you used for background is 1200×800. it is not 50×50. do you want it to use as background?
regards
Om
The 1200×800 is the one I uploaded in the wordpress cms. The body background code is under “Global” in the .css and that’s the one I’m trying to change so it’s an image and not the #eee color.
The image I’m testing with is this:
http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/bg-rep.png
Kristian,
pls check the following code
body {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url(“http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/bg-rep.png”);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: repeat;
}
and let me know it is the one you were searching for or not..
Regards
Om
Still not working
Hi Kristian,
Remove the following code from your style sheet
background-image: url(“http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/bg.png”);
and paste the following code at the bottom of your style sheet
body {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-image: url(“http://www.kristianmaar.dk/portfolio/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/bg-rep.png”);
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: repeat;
}
Regards
Om
Nope, still nothing. Just a white background, which I think is default if the code doesn’t work.
Hi Kristian
you used another image as background…… if you want to use that grey ball as background replace the present image url with that one……
regards
Om
I changed that in the wordpress cms. It’s still two different images. It’s the body background I can’t get to work.
Kristian

[i'm using the Twenty Eleven theme]
hiy there AAB
i’ll *definitely* paypal you a coffee AND muffin if you can show me how to split my title text on to two lines – nicely!
for example, my title currently displays like this:
“my travels through europe, america, asia and new
zealand”
this wrapping looks unprofessional, and, ‘UGLY’!
i’d like it to display with more balance, like this:
“my travels through europe, america,
asia and new zealand”
i’ve had a look around in the header.php file but can’t see a ‘nice’ way to add a line break
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR HELP – I’M SURE YOU’LL REALLY ENJOY THE COFFEE +++ AFTERWARDS!
many thanks in advance

Hi Om – me again! I see you’ve continued to be busy on this now epic thread. Hope you’re enjoying many well-deserved coffees!
Just a quick query this time. I viewed my blog site on my netbook today, which has only a 10 inch screen. It looked fine on IE, but when viewed on FF the Title and Site Description were far too large, extending over the post title below! The site looks fine on a 17 inch and 22 inch screen – this too large title/description problem only occurs on FF on a 10 inch screen.
Is there any CSS that can correct this, please?
I haven’t got Chrome or any other browsers installed. I suppose I should install Chrome at least and check that the site looks OK in that.
Cheers!

Excuse me sir, I wanna know if there any way to click on ” header image ” and will be transfered to the other link? also plz teach how to change to header image size? thank you so much really appreciate it.
i’d glad to hear your answer,
really appreciated it
Hi Scorpio,
yes it is possible. you can do it by modifying your header.php.
Please let me know if you get my point or not..
Regards
Om
Hello Om,
I guess that I am stuck. So far everything worked well with your theme, but I do not get a logo into place. I studied your advice e.g. for Pit which you gave here in the forum, but the logo is not fitting very well. It is very large and centered. I could not figure out to fix the dimensions of the logo so that it will keep its orignal size and will not be streached. Any idea or hint?
Thanx a lot in advanced.

You might want to include this little piece of code to get rid of the horizontal table rules:
#content table, #content tr td {border:none;}
In addition to child themes, I’ve been using “My Custom CSS” plugin for minor tweaks and works like a charm!
Hi Om,
thank you for your great blog and help. I was wondering if you could help me out with something.
In my header there seems to be a line… I cant find it in the header.php and was wondering if you knew a way to switch it off.
Thank a million in advance!

Hi Sebastiaan,
Would u mind to clear me the problem? What text u want to show in your header?
Om
Okay, OM. I am back again.
I need to know how to change all of my text color to white bold. Not just white, but bold white.
The only way I know how is to put tags on my posts and that is causing problems.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Selma,
Good morning…
Umm.. u added font widget to change the text to white bold?
what plugins ur used?

I figured it out! just added font weight attribute.
No, I copied your code to change text color and just added the weight attribute to make it bold.
And.. no, I am not Selma Blair. Just a reallllly big fan of hers. my blog is a tribute to her and her work.
Hi,
Nice to know my code works….
Om
I do have another question. Is there a code to make ALL of the post titles larger? Not just the homepage. I see where you also added code for individual posts. But combined, will it work on the entire blog?

hi, i am a newbie.
i want to keep the nav bar names the same but for example when i click through to home i want to be able to have a different tittle besides home. can i hide this or change this?
cannot find where?
i am doing the site via word press.org hosted by go daddy.
also is there a way to have the images assigned to individual specific pages rather than randomly rotating?
help?
is it better to change via dream weaver or on the site?
i already messed up once and had to relaunch word press via go daddy because i could not fix the code i messed up.
thanks for any advice.
Bonnie
here’s the simple site:
monabanzer.com
Hi Bonnie,
THanks for your comments…
The question you asked for navigation bar related….. i need to check it… i will inform you about it..
About Image..
yes..you can add images in specific page (Page–>Add New then check there is an Media symbol to add image/media)
Om
Hi… i mean in the header image not on the pages… can i set the header image to be a different image for each new page. since they are rotating or just set as one image. i cannot find where to change this.
bonnie
Understood Bonnie….
Let me check it….. i will try to inform u .
Om
Hi Bonnie,
In Twenty Eleven Theme , The Image which you will select as Featured Image will be shown in the Header……u can try it..

Hi Om,
First of all thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. That’s very nice of you. I was able to tweak the Twenty-Eleven theme to make it the way I want it thanks to your tips.
I just have a question. I tried and read all the comments to see if there was something related but couldn’t find anything. I have a image uploaded as a background but it doesn’t scroll down. Is there a way I can fix this? Here is my blog, if you want to take a look and see what I mean.

background-position: center top;

HI!
I think I am having a basic understanding problem here and cant figure it out.
After installing a 2011 child theme I deleted ALL posts and pages, so I can start with my content from scratch. I dont think this was a good idea. My new pages do fine. But I want one page (navigation link) to be the blog, the other ones static.
I have marked one static page as my frontpage in settings/reading.
but now I dont know hoe to add the posts to my menu anymore… played around a bit and simply added the category of the posts to the menu, but it doesnt seem to work as the formatting is off when I click on the menu link.
Can you help? Thanks in advance.
Rebekka
Hi Rebekka,
Yes..you can add a link called “Blog” to show the latest blog post …but for this, you need a blog template to show this…
Regards
Om
A blog template?
Maybe I should rather start from scratch, is there a “reset” in WordPress?
Hi Rebekka,
are u using wordpress.com or wordpress.org hosting?
let me know..
Om
Or,
You can do another thing..
Just create a Menu called “blog” and add all the blog (post) category as submenu in it..

If I add the category to my menu, it pretty much does what I want. If I click on the menu it shows all the posts of the category (obviously). Only the formatting if different, all the posts are pushed towards the very left of the box. When I click on “Reply” of a post to see the replies, the formatting then is ok and the text is moved more to the right.
I dont quite understand….
what is a blog template? Can I select that somewhere ?
Hi Rebekka,
Yes.. you have to select “Blog Template” from the template selection (right side of the new page editor).
I could help u to create one..but.. i will not be available for 2 days as i need to go to capital city for a viva voce…
Just keep in contact…

Hi!
Just a quick update on my problem.
It appears that the issue was with Safari, not wordpress or any of the templates.
I host locally. Some views of the blog didnt appear properly on Safari, eg the first page of a blog post would be all pushed to the very left. This problem did not appear in Firefox or google chrome. And it also didnt appear on other public wordpress blogs in Safari.
I reinstalled Safari with the latest version and the problem diappeared.
I couldnt really find a logical explanaton fot this, but maybe this helps others who come accross the same problem.
Hi,
Different browser and their corresponding versions renders websites differently..
thats why u faced this problem

Hi! I have another question, I promise it will be the last one before finishing my website! It is almost done.
Okay so the website is http://www.ilanserruya.com ; as you can see, inside the “video” and “desing” section i put some buttons that sends us to another pages (each page is for each different work)… the problem is that the only way that i found for each of theses pages not to appear at the navigation bar was to set them as “drafts” and no one (except for me) can actually look at the content of these pages, thats why no one can actually see anything after clicking in these buttons.
Is there any way to create these extra pages or deleting them from the navigation bar? Because with the buttons i dont want to have the same options twice… Do i make myself clear?
Thanks!!!!
Hi Ilan,
sorry for my late reply as i was outside of my city for 2 days.
Yes… you can create pages without showing them in Navigation bar by using Custom Menus from “Appearance–>Menu”
pls let me know it is ok or not..
Om
Yeah im trying but i dont really understand how to create the page from there.. can you explain me how to create it step by step?… thanks

sorry for my late…

Hey, I’m back again! You are so helpful and I truly appreciate it. I have a new problem. I am trying to find a way to paste the DMCA code into my footer area in order to activate it. I have registered my blog at DMCA and I’m trying to figure out how to insert the copy and paste thingy so that I can activate it. I’ve asked DMCA how to do it on wordpress.com instead of org and they don’t seem to know. If you have any idea how to do this I would greatly appreciate it! thanks.

sorry for my late response as i was not available for last 2 days..

I am having trouble pasting the badge code for DMCA in my footer area. It shows up, and you can click on it but it doesn’t link properly to the DMCA site. I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with CSS but was wondering if you knew a way I could copy and paste it properly using a different widget maybe. DMCA works easily with wordpress.org and I’m trying to figure out how it’s used in .com thought maybe you might know where I could add the code for it to work right. thanks.
Hi Selma,
Are you talking about “Protected | DMCA” ?
I have clicked on it and the page which is opening is showing error..
but..i dont think it is css related issue ….have u checked the link which u used in?
pls let me know..

Hi,
when I am looking for the code in the style.css I search for the “change” beginning and I encounter many of them – then I need to figure out where exactly I need to change, for example going to #26 on your post I search for “#content {” and there are 9 of them in the CSS – so I am not sure which one to change…
It would really help if you point to the section – for example – in /* =Responsive Structure – look for ” #content {” and then change it to …

This site is awesome! I was just able to change all kinds of border issues I was having, and to customize my header, which is just the way I want it!
The only thing I couldn’t figure out was this: is there a way to add some HTML (it’s a banner ad) to the header. I want it to be below the site name and site description, but above the navigation/page menu. Do you know how to do that? Here’s my site: http://www.ournourishingroots.com/
Hi Kmille,
Yes..it is possible.. but u need to modify your header.php file to do it.
In your header.php you need to add some html coding and need to add some css code in style sheet ..
if you need help you can add me in skype, om2000_cuet is my id..
regards
Om
How do I modify my header.php? I can see it on my dashboard under my child theme, but the only thing on the Theme Functions (functions.php) is this: <?php and the rest is blank. Is there a way to just add the HTML there?
Hi Kemille,
Umm..no..u need to modify the header.php of your parents theme… and need add html code there.
Om
Oh ok, I’m new to all of this, so thank you for helping. What do add to the parent theme on the php sheet? I have the HTML for the banner ad, but I’m assuming I need to specify where it goes somehow.
Okay, I have found the header.php on the parent. I have the HTML as well. Where do I put it?
Hi Kmille,
Let me check ur site again..hold on..
Om
Hi Kmille,
You have to put your html code just beneath to the end of hgroup tag in header.php..
Regards
Om
That worked! I found it
Thanks! The only thing is that now it’s sitting right on top of the navigation menu with no border/space. Any thoughts on that?
Also, do I need to change anything on the CSS stylesheet now?
Hi Kmille
for the spacing above and bottom of the image you have added paste the following code at the bottom of style.css
#branding img {
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 4px;
width: 100%;
}
hgroup a img {
margin-top: 4px;
}
Regards
Om
Wow, that’s perfect. Thank you so much. I am going to try next to ad some HTML code to put a smaller ad after each individual post, between the content and the comments. Now that I know the general way to do this, I think my only question is this: where would that HTML code go on the php side? Single post? Thx
Hi Kmille,
it may be either single.php or post.php …
going to bed… bye for now…
Om
It’s single.php, I found that. Just not sure where to put the HTML. Thanks for all your help though, I don’t want to keep you up. I appreciate it! Can I get a bit more help from you later? Thanks!
Okay, I experimented and put it after the and before the and it worked, but is way on the left. I’m assuming that I need to change the borders/centering on the CSS stylesheet now, but I’ll have to wait until you are able to write back to do that part I think. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Thank you for this great site! Quick question, how easy would it be to change the color of titles for each category?
For example, the title of category A will be blue, category B will be green, and so on…
Hi Jad,
Thanks for your comments..
Pls share me your website address…

Apologies, should have replied here —-
Hi Om,
My website is:
floatingjad.com
Thank you,

Hi Jad,
Just checked ur site..
would u mind to tell which category u r talking about?
Hi Om,
I would like to have each category heading to be a different color. For example, the headers for each post in the category “thoughtz” to be in green. The category “bookz”, the header for each post in “bookz” to be purple, and so forth…
What do you think? Is this possible?
Thank you,
Jad
Hi Jad,
If you want to make ur post titles(which u mentioned as “header”) under each category to be different color, it is possible, but need to check and may need to add some manual coding in both of ur php files and style sheet..

Hi Om,
How much would it cost for someone like you to create the code for me?

thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just “play” a bit with the twenty eleven. Basically it is a great theme. But some things are not so great… try to fix and personalize it a bit. I guess your article will help me.

HI there,
I have added a banner ad in the hgroup section, but now it’s stretched to fit the full width of the header, and I’d rather it be the size it’s meant to be. Can you tell me if that’s something I can fix? I know I’ve read other people talking about fitting pictures, etc. into this header and sizing issues. Thanks!
Here’s the site as it is now: http://ournourishingroots.com

Sorry for my late reply.. pls try the following code and let me know it is Ok or not..
#branding img {

Hi Om,
I have two questions:
1 – Is there an easy way to have a different header image show up on each individual page? ie. a “Home” image on the “Home” page, an “About” image for the “About” page, etc?
2 – Can i make the site stretch 100% vertically? If not, can the page be aligned to the top so there is no white space above the header?
Thank you so much in advance! And thanks for such a great site and the generosity of your knowledge!
Hi Bethdawn,
In twenty eleven, i think, the featured image which u will select for a page will be shown in that page header section . You can try this..
For question 2.
I didnt understand your requirements..would u mind to clear me?

Hi I have copied and pasted some the code for removing the search box and put it at the bottom of the style sheet and updated it but the search box is still on the post, I am not sure why it has not updated. When I put in new code does it always go at the bottom of the style sheet, I am not sure where to put it and wonder if this is the problem.
Thanks
Caroline
oh its ok its gone now, does it take a while to update? Anyway, I still wanted to check, do you put all the new code at the bottom of the page?
Thanks
Caroline
Hi Caroline..

Thanks great help! Today I tried to have a clickable image (facebook.gif) on the right side of the header (twentyeleven). So far they say one has to enter the pic url in header.php and style.css.

left: 5px;
width: 200px;
height: 54px;
background-image: url(‘http://yoururl/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/images/facebook.gif’);

Hi Caroline,
Would u mind to check the following code to change the whole navigation bar background color of twenty eleven theme?
*** use your color code in place of “green” i used in the code below… first “green” is starting color 2nd “green” is ending color
#access {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(green, green) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
width: 100%;
}

Om
thanks nav bar is good now, I ‘ll try the header.
Caroline
Your 2nd Problem “To float the Site Title and Description over the image ”
yes.. to do it.. at first remove the image u used and paste the code at the bottom of your style sheet
#branding hgroup {
background: url(“http://www.every-day-matters.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cropped-one-bird4.jpg”) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
margin: 0 7.6%;
}
after that let me know..i will give you the rest of the code..
Om
Thanks I’ve done that, image is gone, what happens next…..?
Caroline
HI Caroline,
the actual code should be the following
#branding hgroup {
background: url(“http://www.every-day-matters.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cropped-one-bird4.jpg”) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
height: 280px;
margin: 0 4.6%;
width: auto;
}
*** Problem is the image u r using is high enough so, it is taking spaces (height)
so, if you change the image height to reasonable portion then it would be good i think,
regards
Om
thanks Om thats just what I wanted I changed the height and it works just fine, thanks for your help.
Caroline
thats Great Caroline….
thanks again for ur coffee..

Hi Om,
I posted a comment asking for help a couple of weeks ago but I didnt have the required CSS upgrade to properly modify my css style sheet.
This time, I have it all set up and I just need to find the right codes to make the changes I want. Please, if you can help me work this out I will let you buy many coffees since I’m willing to pay a web designer if I can’t figure this out alone.
So, here it is: http://www.3neoneone.com
This is what I want to do:
1. Change the menu bar from grey to black so the home page is entirely black.
2. Move the links on the menu bar so they align on the left.
3. I want the Home page to be black, the About Us page to be black. However, I want to make the Blog page and The Collection page white.
3. On the blog page, I want to reduce the padding between widgets, especially in the category cloud.
4. I want to align all the posts to the left.
5. I want to change the fonts on the Widget Titles, color and size too.
6. I want to make the link for the home page all capital letters: HOME instead of Home.
Thanks a lot!
HI Mee,
Good Morning..

}
2. If you want to move the Navigation bar of Twenty Eleven theme to align left try the following code
#access div {
margin: 0 0.6%;
}
3. If you want to reduce the spacing/padding between tag clouds try the following code
div.tagcloud a {
line-height: 24px;
}
4, If you want to align all post to the left and to increase the Post Width of your blog post of Twenty Eleven theme try the following code
#content {
margin: 0 34% 0 2.6%;
width: 64.4%;
}
5. If you want to widget title’s color, font size, font family try to paste the code at the bottom of dark.css of the following location
http://www.3neoneone.com/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/colors/dark.css
.widget-title {

is that possible? or do i need to create a different template for this page?

Hi OM,

I would like to change the color of the item “MDM 2012″. It shall be in some way highlighted in difference to the other items in the black navigation bar.
Thank you for your advice,
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
That “MDM 2012″ is a menu item…
Do you want to change the font color of that “MDM 2012″ ? or the background color ?
Pls let me know..

Hi OM,
sorry for expressing me so unclear. I would like to know how to change both the background color and the font color.
Thank you for your patience!

Hi Jonathan,
To change only background color of “MDM 2012″
li.page-item-654 {
background: red;
}
and to change the font color try the followinng..
#access .page-item-654 a {
color: black;
}
both of these is only for that individaul menu “MDM 2012″
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..

Hi OM,
thank you for your advice – I tried only the background color and that works fine. Now I have decided not to change the font color. So thank you again for your help!

Hello – I am having a Twenty-Eleven problem and scouring the web for help. Hope I can find some clues here! It seems when I add images into a post they overlap out of the containing content div.
This is a link to a sample post so you can see what is happening… thank you!

http://www.style-me.ca/2011/11/test-post-2/ (without comments enabled)
HI Hillary Harris
Would u mind to try the following code at the bottom of style.css
.singular .entry-header, .singular .entry-content, .singular footer.entry-meta, .singular #comments-title {
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 88%;
}
Pls let me know it is ok or not
regards
Om
Thank you for the code – didn’t work though. It actually cropped the top 3/4 of the title when clicked through to the post. Incidentally, the images also do this in the category page showing all posts http://www.style-me.ca/category/style_journal/
Hi Hillary,
Would u mind to tell where u have pasted the code i have shared before?
Also.. the test post link u have shared is not available now..
Pls let me know..
Regards
Om
I’d taken it out – I’ve just put it back in at the end of the style sheet.
Here is the link to the list of blog entries http://www.style-me.ca/category/style_journal/ where you can see how the images overflow.
Here are links to the 2 test posts:
http://www.style-me.ca/2011/11/test-post/ (this post is with comments enabled)
http://www.style-me.ca/2011/11/test-post-2/ (without comments enabled)
My mistake… I’d changed the post dates so they wouldn’t be the first posts visitors see (The site is live for my client)
The links should be:
http://www.style-me.ca/2011/03/test-post/ (this post is with comments enabled)
http://www.style-me.ca/2011/03/test-post-2/ (without comments enabled)
Hi Hillary,
I found the problem is solved… the images are not overlapping with comments section now..
regards
Om
The images don’t overlap on the single posts however the titles are cropped right off at the top.
Also, the list of all posts on the category page still show images overlapping…
so still not resolved.
Hi Hillary
To Solve the overlapping problem in http://www.style-me.ca/category/style_journal/ — paste the following css code at the bottom of style.css
.hentry, .no-results {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
margin: 0 0 1.625em;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0 1.625em;
position: relative;
}
*** For single post Title problem : paste the following code at the bottom of style sheet
.singular .entry-title {
color: #4C2701;
font-family: ‘Fontdinerdotcom’;
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 38px;
margin-top: 0;
}
Hi there!
Do you want a cup of coffee?
Well…
I have (soon) a page with only one column. I wonder if it is possible to put the archive in my menu? I know I can use widget but then I must have two columns or put the archive in the footer.

Hi Om,
Thank you for the blog article and all the helpful info!
I wanted to know if there is a way to change the menu color.
Also, all the pages names that I want to display on the menu bar don’t fit in one line;
however, I deleted the search box from the menu and there is an empty space there is there a way to fit it on one line and use that space?
my site: http://hebrew.shmulikshmuel.com/
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Tali
HI Tali,
To make the menus in a single line try the following
/***** It will go at the bottom of rtl.css ***********/
#branding .only-search + #access div {
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
/********** It will go at the bottom of style.css ***************/
#access div {
margin: 0 3.6%;
}
If you want to change the menu color try the following code….. Just change the color value
#access {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#252525, #0A0A0A) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
clear: none;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto 6px;
width: 100%;
}
Regards
Om
Thank you Om! I manage to fit it all in one line
I can’t however change the color. I placed the code in the style.css, is that the right place?
also, which # do I change? the first or second, or both (#252525, #0A0A0A) ?
Thanks!!!!
Hi Tali,
Good Morning
the first color is the starting color and the 2nd color is the ending color .
So, If you want gradient color, then you can use different starting and ending color..
but, if you dont want gradient and prefer single color then place ur preferred color in both starting and ending place
Regards
Om
Thank you Om!
The code for changing the menu color didn’t work out for me.
Any idea?
Thanks again!
Tali

Actually, i figured it out. Now I am looking to figure out how to make the transparent background work in Internet Explorer.

Looks like I figured that out too. Hope you didn’t dig too far into it
Hi Jennifer…
Sorry for the late..would u mind to share us the CSS part you used for both IE and Firefox to make the Background Transparent?
pls share us the CSS code
Regards

Hmm, don’t know where the conversation went, but you requested that I share my solution to the transparent background.Here’s what I had to edit on my stylesheet. It is a child theme of TwentyEleven. My site is TheBestBelt.com. These changes were necessary to make the background of the content and header area transparent so that you could see the logo in the background. I hope this is helpful to your readers.
/* This is in the =Reset default browser CSS. Based on work by Eric Meyer: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/index.html */
body
background-color: none;
line-height: 1;
}
/* This is in the =Global section */
body {
background-color: /*rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)*/ transparent;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}
#page {
background-color: /*rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)*/ transparent;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}
/* I changed this under the /* =Header section. This was necessary to make the area above the header image have a semi-transparent background in Internet Explorer. It was not necessary for Firefox or Chrome.*/
#branding {
border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
padding-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background: transparent;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#90FFFFFF,endColorstr=#90FFFFFF);
zoom: 1;
/* And in the =Menu section */
#access {
float: left;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
color: #000;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#000000,endColorstr=#000000);

Hi there. I am a total beginner just starting up my private blog. So I have a question for you: Although I tried your solution I somehow can’t manage to change the color or size of the blog post titles in my twentyten theme. Do I have to put the code simply at the bottom of my style.css? I tried this and so far no change. I hope, you can help me! Thanks!
Hi Lily,
Yes, you need to add the code at the bottom of your stle.css but, if you are using child theme then it may cause u some problem….
mail me your style.css at om2000_cuet@yahoo.com . I will check it and reply u back tomorrow morning (night here now)

I just added an affiliate ad for a friend’s real food blog on my sidebar, but it is squashed because the sidebar isn’t wide enough. Is there a way to allow just the ad itself to stretch wider than the sidebar, or do I have to widen everything in the sidebar? Thanks! http://www.ournourishingroots.com
Hi Kmille,
Good Morning..
Just visited your site..
Would u mind to clarify which advertise you are talking about and what do u want to do?
Your requirements is not clear enough to me..
Regards
Om
It’s the one that says “Avoiding Grains? Grain Free Meal Plans”. I just put the html code into a text widget, added it, and it’s a bit squished due to the sidebar width. I’m not sure if I can tweak it for that ad only (leaving everything else in the sidebar the way it is)?
Hi Kmille,
Pls try the followings..
*** Try the following code to widen only that advertise image..
#text-8 a img {
max-height: 250px;
max-width: 250px;
}
/****** Additional code ********/
** the following code will help u to widen the sidebar and the advertise also
#primary {
float: left;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0.4%;
margin-top: 0;
width: 68%;
}
#content {
float: left;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 7.6%;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 0;
width: 90%;
}
#secondary {
float: right;
margin-right: 12px;
width: 29%;
}
Let me know it is ok or not
Regards
Om
Thank you so much, that worked like a charm and looks just the way I wanted it. (I used the code to just widen the single ad)
Nice to know it helped you Kmille

Good Morning Om,
Thank you for the quick reply!
I have a lot of pages on my site and I would like to remove the titles from all of them. The only thing is that I still use one of my pages as a blog and I would like to leave the title- for the posts. So my question is – is there a way to remove the title from the pages and not from the posts?
Hope that was a better explanation
Tali
Hi Tali,
Yes.. If you want to remove the Page’s Title (not the Post title) it is also possible…but..for this i need to check ur Theme file to implement..

To reduce the space between news and its border, you need to increase the width of iframe which u used to show the news…

i’m a beginner in wordpress and i try to use twenty eleven theme .I would like to create a template in order to avoid to load the header picture on each page and use my own header instead but i don’t know how to do that.
Is it possible to associate to the template a new header , CSS , …. files ? how to do that
Any advices ?
Thanks and regards
Hi Filliot,
would u mind to share me ur site URL to check?
if you are using your own domain and hosting then you have several options
*** In twenty eleven theme the fetaured image shows in the Header section..pls check it ..so if you use your own header image in the featured image section for the page then it may solve ur problem..
*** Custom fields can also be used to show your own header image but it will need some theme files (php files) modification..
but..better u try first the first option which i have mentioned.
Pls let me know if u face any problem..

Hi Om
Thank for your answer.
Sorry I’m studying wordpress in local mode in order to create a bicycle travel blog .
I didn’t publish anything for the moment but as soon as i’ll have something coherent i won’t forget to share it.
In fact what i would like to do is :
- Use the default page to welcome people
- create my own page model or template in order to include a Nextgen album .
This page will include :
a basic design such as a title , a small header without picture but a banner , the same navbar as the one used in the welcome page ,no sidebar , a footer.
I’ve the following questions :
- Wich files are mandatory to define the new model ?
- Do i’ve to create new header.PHP, Style file …etc
- Is it possible to copy ,rename and modify the twentyeleven files according the answer to my first question <>
Reading the wordpress codex i saw that is it possible to create a page model from a copy of the page.PHP .So i made a copy of the page.PHP , renamed it and modify the code as mentioned in the codex in order to define a blank page. I can see its name in the page attributes and i’m able to create a blank page .
From this point i need your advices to progress. Just let me know how to do to go ahead
Sorry to disturb you .If this comment is out of scope of this forum please don’t hesitate , just let me know

HI Fer,
I have not seen my code at the style2.css. where you have pasted the code i have given?
You can do another thing
in that style2.css find out the following code and delete position :relative and save it again

Hi Fer,

Hi! Thanks for the great help! It was very usefull!
But…. i’m stuck at one thing!
I am editing the Twentyeleven theme with my child theme.
I have installed a plug-in wich make’s my header to an image slider. I want to enlarge the height of the header. In above instructions you told me to add this to my child theme :
#branding img {
height: 100px;
margin-bottom: -7px;
width: 100%;
}
I’ve done that and just like you said, the header height change’s into the height I wanted.
But there is one problem. In the header i’ve changed the site title to an image.
So when I add the code for changing the height of the header, the image i’ve pasted in the site title change size to.
Is there any solution?
Sorry for my bad English, I’m a Dutch student so my English isn’t that good!

Hi Om,
First of all thanks for this post. The codes are fantastic, they helped me a lot.
Can I bother you with just a little question? I’d like to remove the page tittles from the pages I’ve created, but when I delete them, they’ll disappear from the navigation menu as well.
Can you give me the code that will just remove them from the body of the page?
Thanks a lot! And have a cup of coffee on me. Best,
Hi Denyse,
would u mind to try the following code?
.singular .entry-title {
display: none;
}
the code above will help u to remove the page title from the pages….
Also,
I think u r using twenty eleven child theme, so better paste my code at the bottom of parent theme’s style.css
Please let me know it is Ok or not
Regards
Om
Thank you OM. It worked. ^_^
I guess I lied, because I have another question; how to rearrange the tabs in the menu, to whatever I like? Right now, they’re alphabetical. I’ve tried simply going to the menus option on the dashboard, but it didn’t do anything.
I appreciate your time,

Is the page title actually being removed or hidden?
I would prefer to have the page title remove too, but I’m concerned about how that will affect my website’s SEO. If it doesn’t affect the SEO of my website, then I’d rather it not be there.
I do have another question: How can I center the page title? The default is align left.

You’re welcome! I definitely deserve the coffee, and many more. I hope everyone that keeps bugging you with questions (shamelessly, like me) feel the same way.
I’ve add your code to my css to change the color of the menu bar,
#access {
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#42210b, #8cc63f);
}
It looks fine on firefox, but it’s still black on safari and windows. Do you know what’s going on?
Cheers,
Denyse
Good Morning Denyse,
Actually not all browser till support gradient effect.
so, for that browsers which doesnot support gradient, you have to add
background :yourcolor code; to show solid color
so the code will be something like the following
#access li:hover > a,
#access a:focus {
background: #f9f9f9; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #e5e5e5);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #e5e5e5);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#f9f9f9), to(#e5e5e5)); /* Older webkit syntax */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#f9f9f9, #e5e5e5);
color: #373737;
}
Pls let me know u got the point or not..

Om
Hello
Reading the CSS of twentyeleven theme in order to try the point 3 “remove the blankspace from the upper side of the site title” i saw that there is already in the header part the following code :
/* =Header
———————————————– */
#branding {
border-top: 2px solid #bbb;
padding-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}
#site-title {
margin-right: 270px;
padding: 3.65625em 0 0;
}
#site-title a {
color: #111;
……..
Could you let me know
- if the code for #site-title { must be removed
- where to introduce the code given in point 3

I’m working with the style CSS file of twentyeleven theme in local mode under easyphp.
I paste the code as you said and it works fine.
Is it possible to create an other header file in order to use it in a new page ? I would like use a header in the home page and a different one in the others pages
I’m looking for a tuto describing this kind of function under wordpress. Any idea ?

I’d like to create a child theme that has a left and right sidebar with middle content, modifying the fewest files (hopefully just index, functions, and style). Any suggestions? I can’t find a good tutorial that does it that actually works. Thanks.
Hi Goofydg1
actually i work directly on main theme..not child theme….
Regards
Om
Ok. Well, if you were going to modify the main theme, what suggestions would you have? Thanks.
Hi Goofydg1,
If you want to add Right/ left extra sidebar, then you need to add a piece of php code to add a widget section in the function.php file..then you need to put another php code to introduce that widget section in your Home/post/page section.. you can give that widget section the left/right sidebar look by using some css.
Regards
Om
Thanks, I have used a lot of your code and it works great. However, I am having the hardest time trying to figure out to expand my right sidebar! Ahhh! This is what I would ideally like to do:
Have a right sidebar = 310px
Content area = 620 px
And an entire page area = 950 px (which I’ve achieved)
I cannot seem to do this. Every time I input these px amounts in #content and #secondary it pushes my right sidebar widgets below the first post.
Thanks so much!!

Context : EasyPHP + WordPress 3.2.1
I succed to create a template page but for the moment its content is a copy of page.php but without right sidebar .I’m doing that for training purpose.
I’ve a question : How to change the horizontal position of this page title only, (right or left)?
i don’t want to modify the twentyeleven home page.

Hi Om
Context : EasyPHP + WordPress 3.2.1+ Twentyeleven theme
I’ve created a new template page in local mode as following :
- create a new file in twentyeleven theme content
- rename it as template-album
-add on the top of this new file the following code
- copy after this code the following code for test purpose.In fact a copy of page.php in wich i delete the line .
So its content is :
-Save the file
-Open the dashboard and create a new page with no parent but using the template previously created: album
- The page is well displayed without comment
So for my knowlege i would like to know how to move the page title more on the left or more on the right.To resume be able to put the title in any horizontal position.Of course all pages created from this template will reuse the same position. To do that i’ve to modify the css file but i don’t know where.
I saw in your tutorial how to change the height between the menu bar and the title .I try it and it works.
Thanks a lot for your help and reactivity

Hi Guy Filliot,
Pls try that code
.entry-title, .entry-title a {

Can you help me replace my header image? I want to put this one that is 1000px160px. (http://www.marzacdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Marzac_Header11.jpg), but it is too small and the editor keeps trying to crop the image. I tried some code you suggested to other users in this blog and I have been able to make the header space smaller, but I cannot get the image to appear.
Thanks!
Hi Zac,
is http://www.marzacdesign.com/ ur site? where u want to implement it?
pls let me know..
Om
Yes that is the site. I am looking to place that image as the header image.
Hi Zac,
Go to “Appearance–>Editor”
then go to function.php
from the function.php search “288″ ( two hundred and eighty eight) which is the default height set for the header image…
change that 288 into your header image height number.
and upload the image from your Header image option..
regards
Om
Very nice! How about the blank space above the header. Can I remove that?
Never mind, I did it by adding a “top-margin” tag with a negative number in the #branding img code.
Hi Zac,
Good Morning..

One more issue.
I have set the menu opacity to 0.75 and this effects the drop down menu items that hover over the content area, making it hard to read the drop down menu text. Can I make the drop down menu more readable? I tried to insert opacity: 1.00; code inside the style sheet, but it did not work.

Just go to Appearance–>Editor then in the right side you will see style.css (bottom side)..

Thank you! I added it in… but it didn’t change the space??
For example on my most recent post… the top image is of some clear glasses & directly below it it says “Neglected Silver is Always our Preference”. I would like that caption to be directly under my first image. Is that possible??
Any help you give is greatly appreciated… thank you so much!!!!
HI Haylee.
sorry for my late..
Pls check the following code
.MsoNormal a > br {
display: none;
}

Pls let me know.. if i cant reply u today..i will reply u tomorrow..
Om
Hi Om,
Thank you SO much for your help, you’re the best. It worked!!!
Om- one more thing. The space between the top image and text is great… but can I modify the space between the bottom of the text to the top of the next image?
Example on my recent post… my last line in my first text paragraph is “more REAL.” and then there is an image directly underneath it. Can I make that space larger? Thank you!

Hi Om,
Thanks for of all your help. I wanted to ask how you increase the font size of items in the Navigation Menu that drop down when you hover over an item in the menu (I have a custom menu with nested items).
Thanks!

Thanks Om,
Abraar
Hi Abraar,
Sorry for the delayed reponse..
Would u mind to try the following code
#access ul ul a {
font-size: 18px !important;
}
it will increase the font size of the submenu item.
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..
Om
Hi Om,
Sorry, I didn’t see that you had responded but I already figured out how to change the size of the text in the menu (same as your code and it worked). I wanted to ask if there is a way to add a border to the Header Image? Also, I have a new widget (Subscribe2) and wanted to know how to increase the size of the text that displays asking people to subscribe. My website URL is swasthyamundial.com.
Thanks Om,
Ab
HI Abrar
Here is the following code
/********* To add border around your header image ************/
#branding img {
border: 3px solid red;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: -7px;
width: 100%;
}
/******** to change your font size in subcribe widget ***********/
.subscribe2 {
font-family: times New Roman;
font-size: 17px;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
Thanks- the border around the header is there but the subscribe2 widget did not change? Any idea why?
Best,

Hi Abrar Karan…
Paste my given code just at the next line of the following @ import “../twentyeleven/style.css”;
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..

Hi Om ,
As usual, it worked now! I keep discovering new issues as I just moved from wordpress.com to .org….in this post: http://swasthyamundial.com/2011/10/healthcare-guaranteed-2/#more-234
notice how the bullet pointed text is much smaller- how do I fix that?
Also, on all of the posts, at the bottom where the comments start, why is the text so tiny which labels who wrote the comment and when it was written? How do I increase the font size on this? As well as the title above where the comments start that says ” X thoughts on “Post Title”
Thanks again- coffee coming soon
Ab
Hi Abrar Karan
/***** to change List pointed text in twenty eleven theme’s font style *****/

Umm..would u mind to share me ur site link where comments are showing? i will then give you the css code to resize the font..

Om
http://swasthyamundial.com/2011/12/america-land-of-the-slaves/
The font “2 thoughts on “America: Land of the Slaves” is tiny as is the font that shows who posted a comment and when.
Ab
Hi Abrar Karan,
Would u mind to check the forllowing css for that Comments title problem?
h2#comments-title {
font-size: 1.3em;
}
pls let me know it is Ok or not?
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
That worked except the text that says “Ashish on December 5, 2011 at 10:07 pm said:” is still tiny.
Ab
HI Abrar Karan,
Yes..that is the Comments Author Vcard
Pls try the following code
div.comment-author {
font-size: 1.3em;
}
Regards
Om
Also, any idea how to ensure that the last menu item that is clicked stays highlighted while you are on that page?
Thanks Om!
Hi Abrar

Hi Om,
It did not work. If you click on “About” in the navigation menu, it becomes bold afterwards. I want to make this happen for all menu items..
Ab
Hi Abrar
would u mind to try the following code and let me know it is something u are wanted?
#access ul li.current-menu-item a {
font-weight: bold;
}
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
That did work- thanks my friend. I added in a line to separate the widgets from the post content but I cannot figure out how to move the line over to the right so that it is just next to the widgets. Also, how can i then increase the width of the content so that it is wider and ends just at that line? Lastly, can I remove that line from individual posts? It looks out of place because I don’t have widgets on my individual posts.
Thanks!
A
Hi Abrar bro..
sorry for the late… pls check the following code
/****** For individual Post’s border remove and content wide **********/
.single .entry-content {
width: 831px;
text-align: justify;
border: none;
}
.single #content {
border: none;
}
/***** Your category/archive page where widgets available ***/
.archive #content {
margin-right: 0px;
width: 746px;
}
Pls let me know they are Ok or not..i will reply u back tomorrow morning..
Om
Hi Om,
The code did remove the line on the individual post pages but on the home page, I wanted to shift the border (the vertical line) over to the right so that it is directly left of the widget. I wanted to also increase the width of the content on the home page.
Best
Ab
Hi Om man,
The home page is still not fixed actually- I wanted to move the vertical line over to the right so that it is right next to the widgets and also wanted to increase the width of the posts on the home page. Thanks man, been travelling, haven’t forgot about the coffee
Ab

Hi Om bro,
It worked! I have just have one last thing now: on the post http://swasthyamundial.com/2011/12/america-land-of-the-slaves/
for example, on the top how do I change the font size of “Posted on December 5, 2011″ and the text that says “Previous”
Also, on the bottom of my home page, the font that says “Previous” to see older posts, I want to increase the font size of that too.
Thanks
Ab
Hi Abrar,
For the “Next and Previous” pls check the following code
#content nav a {
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 2.2em;
}
And for the posted on try the followings
.singular .entry-header .entry-meta {
font-size: 19px;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
Pls let me know if they are ok or not..
Om
It worked Om! Thanks man
Ab
Thank you so much! It worked! Now how can I change the margin of the single post to match the main posts? It looks kinda weird. Could you recommend any plugins for the mobile issues?
Thanks!
Also, is there a way to add a border to both the body and the sidebar?
It used to look good on all mobile devices but since I change the margins it looks offset, I am thinking of a mobile version also but is there anything I can change on the css to make it look normal again?
Thanks!
HI Melissa,
Just checked ur home page.. not sure how u used the css.. i think u have wrongly use Margin in ur home page..
Om
Hi Melissa,
would u mind to check the following code?
.single-post div#content {
margin-left: 2px;
}
Also, i didnt see my code in ur site…not sure how u said it is worked…
Om
I couldn’t find the same code to change it so I changed this part:
/* Singular */
.singular #primary {
margin: 0 0 0 -35.4%;
width: 90%;
It worked! I hope I didn’t mess something else up!
Also I can’t find the code above either :/
Could it be this one?
}
.singular #content,
.left-sidebar.singular #content {
margin: 0 7.6% 0 38%;
position: relative;
width: 70.4%;
Hi Melissa,
Actually i am not clear what u tried to do by changing the content section’s margin…
Your home page’s content section and sidebar margin didnt seem ok to me
Om
How can I fix that?
It just seemed a little crunched up, and I am concerned about the way it looks on the mobile. How do you think I messed up the margin?

wowowow – this post helped me a LOT after I finally decided to use 2011 on some of my sites…
Just one thing: several modifications seem to have zero effect on the latest version (1.3) of Twenty Eleven.
Esp. making the sidebar bigger seems to need different code now. Content in the sidebar is squeezed together and the sidebar itself does not change at all…
would love to see some updated code samples.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi Martin,
thanks for the info…
Pls let me know if you have have any question of any theme’s css or any other question..
I will try my level best..
Om
thanks! some of the problems came from the MozTools “Twenty Eleven Theme Extensions” plugin, looks like they have to update it to work with the new version. Digging through everything with Firebug now, but at least the sidebar content is readable again… *lol*
HI Martin..
thats cool…pls share here if you have something new ..
Regards
Om
no…still there. I am editing in child theme, maybe this is why?
Hi Krystina,
paste the code next line of the following ” @ import ”
@ import url( “../twentyeleven/style.css” );
Code is
#branding {
border: medium none;

Pls let me know if u have any confustion..

Is there a way to make the photo on the entry page bigger? large is small (the size thats on the size now) and full size is to huge. thank you!

Hi Om
Context : EasyPHP + WordPress 3.2.1+ Twentyeleven theme
Sorry i was out of home since the last posts so i’m back .
I follow your advice and i’m learning CSS in order to understand your software update .
I found in WordPress codex get header description how to assign an image according the page id:. The code is as following:
Multi headers
Different header for different pages.
I presume that this code must be introduced in Header.PHP but i don’t know where
Any suggestion ?
Thanks and best regards
Hi Guy Filliot..
Good Morning..
Different page different header image is possible in twenty eleven theme…
Have you tried by uploading ur header image in featured image section of that page?
featured image of the page/post should show in the place of header image..
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..
there is other solution also..
Om
thank you…it’s working, it’s just all smooshed over to the right now. Can I bring it to the left a bit?
Good Morning Krystina,
Are u talking about the logo to move to the left?
pls let me know..

Hi everybody,
Thanks a lot for your nice advices to improve the theme.
I would like to ask your help:
How can I delete the “Tagged” (and all list of keywords) from posts in “Post page” but to leave “Tagged” in “Single post”?
Best regards.
Thanks in advance.
Hi valeri,
would u mind to try the following code and let me know it is what u wanted or not..
.home .entry-meta {
display: none;
}
** it will remove “Tagged” from home page.. but your single post page will remain intact..
Regards
Om
Thanks a lot Om.
All is perfect.
One question: Will this elimnation of “Tagged” keywords from Home page affect on my site SEO ranking process from Search Engines?
Best regards,
Valeri
Hi Valeri,
though various seo gurus says it will effect SEO.. but i think Post title is the main which google loves most…
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
I wrote you few days ago that your code to eliminate Tagged from posts of Home page works perfect.
But now Tagged appeared again in the posts of Home page.
I use my Child Twenty Eleven.
I re-installed original Twenty Eleven.
May be the question is in updating original Twenty Eleven to 1.3?
Thank you,
Valeri
Hi Valeri,

I am working on http://www.tandartspraktijkschilham.nl/ and tried to change in the Twenty Eleven theme the black color of the menu -bar into blue (#004A71) and it works fine in Firefox but in IE and Chrome the menu bar still appears in black. I use this code in the css file style.css:
#access {
background: #222; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#004A71, #0a0a0a);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#252525, #0a0a0a);

Can you please help me? Thank you again!
Hi Erik,
in that code change the color value of background: #222; /* Show a solid color for older browsers */
and it will work..
Om
Great! It works. Thanks again,
With your earlier help I changed the font color of the page titles into #004A71, but that does not work on the home page. I used this code in style.css:
.singular .entry-title {
color: #004A71;
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 48px;
}
How can I change the title on the homepage?
Hi Erik..

Hi Om,
One more question (just quoting Columbo….).
How can I place the search box a bit higher? Now that I removed some blank space there, the search box does not appear as it should be. See for yoourself at http://www.tandartspraktijkschilham.nl
Current code is
.one-column #branding #searchform {
right: 40px;
top: 4em;
HI Erik,
if you want to move your site’s search box bit higher in twenty eleven theme ..pls try the following code..
#branding #searchform {
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 53px;
}
change the value of “top” attribute.. i hope it will work…
Good Night for now..
Pls let me know if u have any question..
Thanks again..
Regards
Om
Hi om,
Thanks, but it did not change the position. Could there be another solution?
For now I put back the old code so I have the original code available for the time being.
Erik
HI Erik,
the code should work..
#branding #searchform {
position: absolute;
right: 7.6%;
text-align: right;
top: 1.8em; //or top:20px;
}
change the value of top: 1.8em or 20-30px (i.e either u have to choose “em” or “px”)
Pls let me know it is ok or not..

Hi All:
I’ve read thru this blog and need to ask a very basic question – how do you change the home page header – http://www.ipbcop.org/
Hi Richard,
You can do it from either using css or Appearance–>Header or using featured image in your pages..
Pls let me know if u have any question…
good night for now..

Thanks for quick reply – and please go to sleep!!
– when you can, I wasn’t specific, I am trying to update/change the home page header text – I can turn it on/off, but it seems I can not alter it for some odd reason…thnx (sorry for such a basic question)
Hi Richard,
Good Morning..
Pls let me know what changes u need one by one..let me see how i can help u..
Om
I have tracked down to where you have the Header.php
<a href="” title=”" rel=”home”>
So it appears as if you are calling on ‘name’ from someplace I can not trace…thnx again!!!
Thanks so much for all of your help! I just have one question. I have completed my sight design and while doing some cross browser checking, I found that the new header image size along with the new page width size, the header overflows to the right while viewing the site with a screen resolution setting of 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 instead of shrinking the sizes. The nav menu also drops the page links to a second row. Is there any way to fix these issues?
I would greatly appreciate your help!

Hi Om,
Hope you had a good weekend. Here I am again with a question about the Twenty Eleven theme. I would like to remove some blank space between the navigation bar and the page titles so it looks more like the blank space between the title Home and the navigation bar on the homepage (see http://www.tandartspraktijkschilham.nl)
What code do I have to change in the style.css?
Thank you again for your great help.
Hi Erik,
thanks..
would u mind to check the following code and let me know it is Ok or not?
.home #main {
padding-top: 0px;
}
Pls let me know..it is late here.. i will reply u back tomorrow morning
Om
Eri,
this code is for home page.. if you want to remove from other pages try with
.singular.page .hentry {
padding: 0;
}
Pls let me know it is Ok or not
Om
It works fine with
.singular.page .hentry {
padding: 0;
}
Thank you again! I wish you a lot of coffee and a Merry Xmas.
Yes.. the 2nd code is the one to solve ur issue..
Marry Xmas to you also..

Hi Om:
Sorry to bug – so specifically, on the “home” page there is a place to edit the “header” which allows for image changes and the ability to turn on/off “display text” – in my specific case, the txt I would like to edit is “IP Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP), just another wordpress site” and for the life of me can not figure out how to edit that – see: http://208.113.248.69/
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Om:
Me again – found the above in the “style.css”, however, I am still not able to change the actual text – see: http://www.ipbcop.org/ – I’d like to change the text itself but can not see how to do so – is it locked in another file somewhere – should I just delete and start over? Seems like something easy to do, but I am just not finding it…:-(
Any help greatly apprecaited
rd
Hi Richard D
You need to paste my code at the bottom of style.css, you only need to modify the color code,font size etc according to your choice..
Here i am sharing u the code again…just paste them both at the bottom of style.css
#site-title a {
color: #111111;
font-family: georgia;
font-size: 30px;
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 36px;

For that small site description pls check the following code
#site-description {

Hi Om:
thanks again for showing me how to change “style” – I guess I am not being clear and will try one more time (sorry to keep asking) – I am trying to change the TEXT in the header – for example, my current title is “IP BEST CURRENT OPERATIONAL PRACTICES” – I’d like to change that to “ANOTHER HEADER TITLE” – is it possible to change the main page title text or once that is set, you can not change it?
thanks again for all your help

yes i have one more query.If you see my blog http://www.kutchtheheaven.info.I have curved borders at the top & for that i made the following changes.
#page {
margin: 1.5em auto;
max-width: 1050px;
border-top: 25px;
-webkit-border-radius: 25px;
-moz-border-radius: 25px;

border-bottom: 25px;
-webkit-border-radius: 25px;
-moz-border-radius: 25px;
-o-border-radius: 25px;
border-radius: 25px;
}
I tried to copy the same code in border-bottom as you can see but its not working.I want the same curved borders in bottom also.How to do that?
HI Ritesh
Pls try the following code for the Rounded corner of footer side…though it is not wise to use code for the rounded corner as most of the browser mainly the old one doesnot support it..it would better if u use image…
but try it first.. and let me know it is ok or not..
#site-generator {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 239px;
}
#colophon {
margin: 1.5em auto;

Hi,
I am bowled over with your help on this site. You are a star!
I have a question:
On the Twenty Eleven theme, I am trying to reduce the amount of padding or margin on the left and right of the content. Just like Ravi’s website – http://careergraphy.com/ There seems a lot of white space either side of the page’s content and I really want to reduce this space so I can have more area for my pages.
I think it has something to do with .entry-content but please don’t take that as correct!
Thanks in advance,
Jowelboy
Hi Jowelboy
In Ravi’s site he made the content aligned centered and he used full page with no sidebar layout…
You want your whole content in the page to be spreaded over the page?
Pls let me know..and.. pls share me your URL..
Regards
Om
Hi Om, my website is http://hedjam.co.uk/
Thanks again
Hi Jowelboy
Your requirements is not clear to me..
have u checked my last comment to u?
Om
Hi Om,
Sorry I’m not very clear about my problem!
Like Ravi I too am not using a sidebar. However there’s a lot of white space left and right of the content of the page and I would like to reduce the space so I can get more content on the page.
The parallel I can draw is from MS Word and changing the page margins from 2.4cm to 1cm so you can get more content on each page.
I have taken a screen shot to indicate what I need to do – its on the home page of my site http://www.hedjam.co.uk
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks Om
Hi Jowelboy
I think you are searching for the following code.would u mind to try the following and let me know it is ok or not?
.singular div#content {
margin: 0;
width: auto;
}
.singular div.entry-content {
width: auto;
margin-left: 12px;
margin-right: 12px;
text-align: justify;
}
Regards
Om
That worked a treat. Thanks very much Om.
Have a great Christmas
Nice to know Jowelboy..

Thanks Jowelboy and Om Prakash,
I too have changed the width and reduced the blank space.

Hi Om,
I commented about this before but its now reverted back to the original problem .
In my posts- I would like there to be NO spacing between the image & the text. I put in the following code:
*{margin-bottom: 0 !important; margin-top: 0!important}
It is working for my first images in my post… but the other 3-4 images & text are all oddly spaced.
(Example- My post, second image & text “Why is blue so good? “)
Thank you!
Hailey
Hi Haylee,
Just checked your site..
problem is you are using inline style for the contents and you are not maintaining the uniqueness between the working image+text and non working image+text
try to use the same format and inline css of the working image+text to all ..and it will solve the issue..
Om
Hi Om,
Thank you so much for your reply… I’m sorry I’m replying to you so late! I’m not sure I’m understanding what you are saying… could you possibly explain a little further?
Thank you so much! You are the best!
Hi Haylee..
Good Morning..
Would u mind to clarify me your problem again?
Om
Hi Om,
I want any text in my posts to be directly under my pictures… no spacing. I commented on this issue before and put in the code you suggested- *{margin-bottom: 0 !important; margin-top: 0!important} and it worked.
NOW all of a sudden there is spacing between my text&pictures again.
Thanks,
hailey
Hi Haylee..
I think you are giving space when u r writing the post in your site..
just check there should not be any blank space between your image and the next line…
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
Thank you… but I am not! I am copying & pasting the post information from my original post… where there are no spaces. I’m not sure what’s going on.

This will help you to give different color background for the content section in your home page and in other page

Hi Om,
It did not work yet, I used this code for my homepage:

and this for my pages:
.page #content {
background-image:url(achtergrondblauwgeel-groot.jpg);
}
It keeps blank, can I do something else and where do I have to place the code in style.css, should it be put on a particular place in the sheet?
Thanks as always!
Hi Erik,
your image url is wrong..
pls use full url…and check..
let me know if u face any problem.

Hi Om, a very Happy New Year!!
Thanks for all your help last year.
Adjusting the image as a background works fine now in IE and Chrome, but not in Firefox. In firefox the background is not visible. Can I do something about that?
Dear Om,
The problem I mentioned with the non-visibility of the background-image when browsing with Firefox is resolved bu updating Firefox itself.
Yes, I have started thinking myself
Best wishes,
Erik
Good Morning Erik,
actually, updating the browser version to solve the background visibility issue is not the perfect solution i think…the user who is using that version…may not see ur site’s background..
If you have any issue pls let me know..
Om
Lots of good info – but quick question. I am trying to put in the code for #3 and #4 on your list (am trying to remove the blank space above the header and below the footer), but I cannot figure out exactly where to put the code in. I admit I am a novice, but I have entered code to make a number of other changes like removing the search bar and comment bubbles, but can you tell me exactly where in the style.css I should insert the code? (around what line, or which code is above or below it? etc.)
Would be grateful for any help – thanks!
Hi DC,
Sorry man, was busy all day long..
would u mind to share me your site URL to check?

@Om i have this weird problem on my homepage post.I am not able to insert an image into post.I have used [gallery] code for it & also though i have selected large size it is not showing.I can not see the visual of my post in edit section.It is disabled after i installed 3.3 WP.I want the current image to be large & not thumbnail.Please help on this & after that i have few more problems.I hope you don mind…:)
Hi Ritesh..
Ok, i will check the issue from home..now leaving office..
Om
@Om…i am just replacing wp-includes folder lets see if it works out ?…by tht time can you just tell me how can i add contact form at the footer?
Hi Ritesh..
to add contact form in the footer you can use footer side widget section.. if twenty eleven doesnot provide footer widget then u can install footer widget by modifying some php code..
Om
Also,
In your hoempage image thumbnnail is showing under some gallery…
I think u should check the gallery settings..
Om
@Om its solved!
@Om how i can i disable comments in my contact us page in the footer of http://www.kutchtheheaven.info/
Hi Ritesh,
Actually, You can use “No Comments on Pages” to solve the issue..
it will remove comments section from all your pages..
you can use it..

I am attempting to change the post formatting to include a rounded edge border and background color. Can you point me in the right direction? I don’t want the title of the post to be in the box just the text and images… url: http://www.ferrousflowers.com
Thanks in advance
Hi Michael..
Yes..it is possible..
what you need is to create rounded corner image (for top and bottom portion) with the same width of the post.. then just need to add them in the post section
Om
Hi Om,
I thought there was a way to do this with CSS. I’ve seen other themes that highlight the post area with a different color background and rounded corners.
Hi Michael,
Yes.. using css it is also possible.. but i mentioned image because, not all browsers treat the rounded corner’s css same way..so your site may not look same in different browsers thats the main problem…
Regards
Om
Michael..
Pls let me know which background color (with rounded corner) you prefer for post area..
let me see i can solve it for u or not..
share me the color ( color code) and where u implement that changes..
Regards

Om,
I would like to use #e4e6e3 for the background color… I don’t want the post title in the box.

Hi Om,
How do I individually change the font size for H1, H2 etc for the content of pages?
I have added this to the css:
.entry-content h1,
.comment-content h1, {
font-size: 150%;
}
But it’s had no effect. the website is http://www.hedjam.co.uk
Thanks Om for being so helpful.
Hi Jowelboy
Just visited your site…
you have used a comma (,) after .entry-content h1 remove that comma and use font-size:2em, or 23px . Hope it should work..
Om
How stupid of me! I should be more careful how I use copy & paste
Cheers!
Hi Jowelboy
it doesn’t matter at all.. i was also in the same position which u have faced regarding spelling mistake.
Thanks for the coffee…

Hi Om, secondary question!
when I resize my browser window the header image gets squashed and out of proportion.
Can I force it to stay the same size and simply lose the right hand and bottom part of the picture?
Kind of like a crop? – http://www.hedjam.co.uk
Thanks again
Hi Jowelboy
current condition of your site when your browser is resized is Ok… it is better for smaller devices like cell phones,pda etc.

Hi,
I’d like to right align the elements in my navigation bar like on this page:
http://www.eyeditty.com/gallery/peru/gallery-peru.htm (not in wordpress)
My wordpress page currently looks like this:
http://www.eyeditty.com/blog/
I tried increasing the left margin of the #access div but then the nav bar wraps instead of moving all the way to the right.
Any ideas? Thanks so much for this great resource!!
Jason
Hi Jason..
would u mind to try the following code
#branding .only-search + #access div {
padding-right: 12px;

#access ul {
float: right;

Perfect thanks so much! Happy New year!

Hi there,
Thanks for all your help – I’ve used this page alot. I am having 2 issues:
I cannot for the life of me change the color of the navigation menu (the black menu on my blog). I changed all the recommendations up above but nothing is making it change. I’d like it color: ffffcc
Also, there is a little gray bar at the very top of my blog, above my header image.. I can’t find anyone else having this issue or how to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance if you can help!
Hi Pamela
Good Morning…
NIce to know my page helped you..
pls check the following code for your http://www.meowzas.com/ site…
*** TO remove the little gray bar at the very top of your blog pls paste the following code at the bottom of your style.css
#branding {
border-top: none;
}
*** About Navigation menu background color
I found you already have changed it..right?
Pls let me know
Om
Hi Om,
It seems to be a issue with Chrome… in Chrome the gray bar at the very top is still there and the menu background is still black. Is there anything that can be fixed in Chrome to get these working?
Thanks!
Hi Pamela..
Pls try the following code..paste it also at the bottom of ur style sheet ..
#access {
background: #FFFFCC;
}
pls let me know..
Om
I was able to remove the gray bar in Chrome, but I still can’t get the navigation menu to change colors in Chrome (cleared cache multiple times).
Hi Pamela,
Yes.. grey lines problem in chrome was cache problem..but.that navigation menu color is not cache problem.. chrome, i think, was not able to read the previous background color code which u used to show the navigation menu background color.. pls use the following
#access {
background: #FFFFCC;
}
Regards
Om
That worked!
But now my navigation menu bar doesn’t equal the same width as my header: http://www.meowzas.com/ – see how it extends out on the right?
Hi Pamela..
pls try this code..
#access {
width: 98%;
}
Om
You’re the best – thank you!!
Hi Pamela..
Nice to know my code helps you..

Hi Om,
I am trying to fit a list of sponsors down the side of a scrolling gallery, but the list insists on going underneath.
I am using this in the css:
.entry-content h6,
.comment-content h6 {
font-size: 70%; line-height:1.1em; display:block;
}
Please can you help! the website is http://www.yorkshirep2p.org

Hi Jowelboy
sorry for the late..
Umm..sorry i didnt understand your requirements..
would you mind to share me a screen shot indicating the change you need? or describe me again?
Regards
Om
Hi Om,
Sorry for the confusion. After posting I had a mess around with the page and discovered if I added a *all the sponsors list * then I managed to have the list showing alongside the scrolling gallery. (previously it was underneath the gallery).
HOWEVER, in adding this, IE8 browsers lost the white background and the formatting screwed up. So I changed the float:left to float:right and it seems to be fixed.
As you can see I’ve a lot to learn and I’m missing lots of knowledge of css!
Hi Jowelboy
Ok.. just let me know if u have any other fix need
Om
Hi friend (again)!,
I wanted to know if it was possible to make the width overall more wide. For example: http://www.meowzas.com – I wish the main section where I do the actual blog entries was more wide so I could load larger images. Is this possible? Right now I can’t post images larger than 500px. Thanks again for any response!

Om
Hi Om,
The slider does not provide any php code to be put in the header theme file? It takes that header space automatically.
Thanx!!
Hi Erik..

Om
That’s allright, Om, I will ask the creator of the Header Slide Show for a solution and will post it here for you and your visitors.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hello first of all i wanna thank you for this website.
I want to do the “28. If you want to change the space between the Navigation Menu Of theme Twenty Eleven try the following CSS” but i don’t know where to paste the code, would be very nice of you to help me out, Thanks.
Hi Gabriel Baghdo
To do this you have to paste the code at the bottom of style.css .. just go to “Appearance–>Editor” and you will get style.css there..
Om
Hi Om
Firstly great column – you have saved me a lot of time and a lot of fiddling.
I do have a question that you don’t appear to have answered – this box is headed ‘Leave a Reply’ but surely it is a New Comment? How do I change that text on my site so that it reads ‘Leave a Comment’.I am using the twentyeleven theme and will be using a child theme when I get finished playing.
Have a coffee by way of thanks…..in advance and for all your past work
Hi Chris R
Thanks a lot for the coffee…
to solve your comments title issue, go to “Appearance–>Editor” then “comments.php”.
Then find out the following line
<?php comment_form();?>
and Replace it with the following line..
<?php comment_form(array('title_reply'=>'Leave a Comments'));?>
Pls let me know it is Ok or not..
regards
Om
Om
Excellent OM – worked a treat. How would I apply that in a child theme? And just a thought for everyone else – look at your reply on the website not in the notification email!!
Hi Chris R
would u mind to try the following
Copy the “comments.php” from your parent’s theme to your child theme…
then do the changes in that copied comments.php file..
i didnt check it..would u mind to check it and let me know?
Om
Hi Om
I will try that later when I have set the final site and the child theme and then let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.
HI Chris R
sure..just let me know.. i also want to see it..
Om
Hi Om,
Can you please tell me how to replace on twentyeleven theme menu, the ‘Home’ for the Blog’s name?

Hi Ahrale..

Can some one help ?
Hi Fabio..
which site you are working now?
Pls let me know..
Om
Hello Om, again
Another little issue you may be able to help me with. Is there any way to colour the background to the widgets? Some themes have widgets with a contrasting colour (which makes them stand out more) but twentyeleven goes for transparent. I can see the transparent line but changing it to a colour doesn’t seem to change anything.
Hi Chris R
Umm..would u mind to share me ur site URL where u r working?
ALso..which color you prefer for widget background?
pls let me know..
Om
Hi Om
The site is at http://cghr.co.uk/cilycwmsite/ – a work in progress, we will rebuild it at http://www.cilycwm.com when we are ready to go live.
The background colour for the widgets (recent comments, new articles etc) could be the same as the background to the site – #ede2ba
Hi Chris R
Umm..would u mind to check this..
#secondary {
background-color: #EDE2BA;
float: right;
margin-right: 3.6%;
padding-left: 3px;
width: 21.8%;
}
.widget ul {
font-size: 15px;
margin: 0;
padding-left: 14px;
}
Pls let me know it is something u r asking for or not..
Om
Thanks Om – you are genius……
That was what I wanted – I can play with colours now.
Thanks again.
Hi Chris R
thanks..
let me know if u have any issue..

Hi there
You’re blog has been huuuuuugely helpful, but I’m a little frustrated because I can’t get something to work. I want to change the color of the site description, not the site title. I have been messing around in the css, but the color won’t change. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Anne,
good morning..
just visited ur site..
and found the header image and the site width is messed up
and.. i didnt see the site description..are u not using it?
pls let me know
Om
Did I do something to the side width? Cause I am not aware of it. I had to mess around to be able to add a logo image next to the site title. That wasn’t easy. So I googled around and copy pasted someone’s else’s solution which I added to the CSS. The site description is the Advies | PR | etc stuff under the Tesselschade Communicatie. I entered it on the frontend of the wp cms under settings. Thanks for your help by the way!
Hi Anne,
to change ur site Description color paste the following code at the bottom of style.css
h2#site-description {
color: #999999 !important;
}
Om
Many, many thanks! It worked! You’re a genius! I just bought you a coffee
.
Hi Anne…
cool…thanks for the coffee
Om
I am panicking now. I think I need you’re help again. The site description is no longer the color I gave it using your code and all the other adjustments I made to the CSS so it would accept placing a logo next to the site title and description are somehow overridden. The code I added to the CSS is still there. I added this:
#branding img.logo-image { width: 100px; }
img.logo-image { float: left; clear: none; margin-top:20px; padding-bottom: 20px;}
#site-title { float: left; clear: none; margin-left: 2%; padding-top: 30px; margin-right: 0; width: 80%; }
#site-description { color: #999999; float: left; clear: none; margin-left: 2%; margin-right: 0; width: 80%; }
h2#site-description { color: #999999 !important; }
And this to the header section so it would show the logo:
I have been experimenting with a mobile plugin, could that have messed it up? WP just seems to ignore the code I added. I am so frustrated right now because it took me hours to fit that logo in.
Good Morning Anne,
So you want..
1. to place the logo right to the Site Title and Site Description
2. Color your site Description again?
am i right?
Pls let me know..
Om
Yes! But wp won’t let you do this. It stretches the logo to the width of the page. So i added all the stuff to prevent it from doing that. I am probably being punished for not creating a child theme. That seemed such a hassle :’(.
Hi Anne,
let me see..
I am checking
Hi Anne,
Check the following code..
#branding img.logo-image {
float: right;
width: auto;
}
h2#site-description {
color: blue !important;
}
Om
I have been a tiny bit stupid. I cleared the browser cache and everything was fine again. I still added your bit of code though and the logo has a better resolution now, so it was useful again. Thanks for your help again!
Thanks a lot Anne,
Pls let me know if u have any other issues..
Om
Hi Om,
Can you give me advice how to use a fixed header on the homepage and have different varying ones on the other pages at http://www.tandartspraktijkschilham.nl?
Thanks for your time and efforts again.
Erik
Good Morning Erik..
Yes.. once i worked this different page different header image for one of my client..it is possible and need theme file modification..
Om
Also..
You can try by selecting Featured Image for different page which may be seen in the header image..
Om
Hi Om,
I installed the plugin WP Display Header and it works fine. It adds a feature in the Dashboard that allows you to choose a fixed header or a random header.
Thanx for your reply and keep up the good work here!
Erik
Hi Erik,
thats Cool..
does the plugins support different page and post with different header image?
pls let me know..
Om
Yes, you can select for each page which header picture to appear. Or you can select the option that let the available pictures appear at random on the page. Great and simple plugin without the need to change codes.
Hi ! I am working on a localhost. I didn’t upload the webpage yet. I am simply trying to change the background color of the template, plus make other changes. I am using the style.css file. Unfortunately, none of the changes happen. Is there something overriding the changes ?? Could you tell me step by step what shall I do? Thanks !!

Hi, enjoying your post! Would you be kind enough to have a look at my page at http://so-me-york.co.uk/ (Child theme based on twenty eleven) and suggest a way to change the footer colour to match the bars at the top and bottom of the header?
There is also a thin black border at the top and bottom of the header that I would like to remove.
Any help appreciated!
Hi Mark,
Umm..just checked ur site..
have u done any theme file modifications?
your footer side html codes seems not ok
Om
Thanks for getting back to me, not aware that I had made any changes except to replace “Proudly powered…” with other text. I have deleted the custom footer.php file so site should be using the parent themes now?
Thanks
Hi Mark,
Good Morning..
it seems you the way u deleted was not perfect..
better u back up ur footer.php again and let me know…
Om
Hi There,
One day I was on my new website and it was fine, then two days later the margins are all crazy. my site is http://www.beautifulworldwithjcov.com/ and it seem to only be messing up my homepage. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated…you seem to be a genius!
Hi JCov
Good morning..
i visited ur site..and it is ok.
is it showing messed up till from ur side?
Pls let me know..
Om
So it seems a bit better margin wise. I cut and pasted the original css I had from before. But now the Archive tabs and everything below it are show up UNDER my posts instead of right along side of it. If it’s not looking messed up to you maybe I need to view it from another computer and if not reinstall the widgets? Thanks for looking.
Hi JCov..
Oh yes..sorry i missed the actual looking.. yes..the sidebar is below the post…
Pls try the following code and let me know it solves ur problem or not
#primary {
float: left;
margin: 0 12px 0 0;
width: 70%;
}
#content {
margin: 0 0 0 7.6%;
width: 80%;
}
regards
Om
Since I’m now nervous about making a mistake do I just add
#primary {
float: left;
margin: 0 12px 0 0;
width: 70%;
}
#content {
margin: 0 0 0 7.6%;
width: 80%;
}
Or should I cut and paste it over something that’s already in my editor?
Don’t you think I’m going to take all this generous help and not buy you coffee!!
Hi JCov..
just paste the code at the bottom of style.css
Om
Restored!!!! I owe you, thank you. One little teeny tiny nitpicky question. On my Facebook Like Box Widget the last row of names doesn’t show. I’ve tried to make it height taller, but that doesn’t work. Any suggestions? If not, no worries you’ve helped me a great deal!
Good Morning JCov..
have you tried by increasing the height of the iframe/code you used for Facebook Like box?
pls let me know..
Om
I did change the length…but it never shows the names, I have gotten it almost perfect so I’m too scared to play with it anymore. I have another question now (seems like there’s always something.) Now that I have my Gravitar picture, MY picture comes up but my commenters pictures do not show up (I guess because they don’t have Gravitar) is there anything I can do about that, or is that just a fluke. Due to spam I now erased my other comments and only have one remaining so you may not be able to tell at this point.
Hi JCov,
Umm…i think u r right..the user needs gravatar image to show in the comments section..
If you have any other issue..pls let me know..
Om
I have a new question about the “pin it” button I have added for Pinterest via a Pin It On Pinterest plugin. It works fine except for the fact that it’s at the end of each post, and not only past the content, but past the Link Within thumbnails I have installed! No one will use it if it’s there. You can see what I mean here: http://www.ournourishingroots.com/real-food-101-how-to-make-chicken-stock/
Can you show me how to get it worked into to the code so that the Pin It button shows up at the top of the post?
Hi K,
you want to show the Pin it button at the top where facebook and twitter button is showing?
pls let me know
Om
Yes. As the plugin works now it’s at the bottom, and I want it to be up at the top of each post with the twitter and FB buttons.
(The only other option is to take the plugin out and add the vertical pin it button to each individual post (what a pain!), like I did here: http://www.ournourishingroots.com/real-food-101-how-to-make-shellfish-stock/, but even then, it’s on the wrong side! So if you could also tell me how to move that button to the left side, I would be grateful. Someone at Pinterest really needs to make a Pin it button plugin!)
Hi K,
Good Morning.
In ur this page http://www.ournourishingroots.com/real-food-101-how-to-make-shellfish-stock/ you have placed the pin it button manually?
It is on the left side now..so which button u want to put in left? (facebook and twitter?)
pls let me know..
Om
So sorry, I meant to move the Pin It button to the right, so that it is with the Twitter and FB buttons on the right. I can’t decide between the two not-so-great options with the Pin Button. I like the manually inserted one better, because it’s stacked and it would fit with the Twitter and FB buttons if you know how to help me get it on the right side.
But then they have a plugin which is easier to use but doesn’t put the button in the right place at all. Is there any way to play with the plugin, or will that break it? (It’s the one that is at the end of the content.)
Here is the code that I used for the manually inserted vertical Pin It button at the top of my content (that is on the left and I want to be moved to the right):
Pin It
Hi K,
can u pls send me the pin it code + facebook,twitter plugins(which u r using now) both in my mail?
om2000_cuet@yahoo.com is my mail..
not sure..but i want to check them

Hey Om,

Hi Lee..
Hello Om,
I have just started learning WordPress. This advise has been a lot of help, but I have a problem that I have not seen before in your advise. I hate to bother you if you have said it before.
I can not get rid of the search bar in my menu. I put your code in to get rid of the search at the top and somehow it ended up in the menu.
Also, I have done everything I can find to get reCAPTCHA and Jax Contact form to work on my contact page and nothing works.
Sincerely Need Your Help.
Thank You,
Cheryl
HI Cheryl Harper
To remove ur search box from the menu pls try the following..
div.only-search {
display: none;
}
You will get re-Captcha from wordpress plugins gallery as i know..
Om
Thank You Om,
The Search box disappeared but the contact page is still pushed to the second row on the menu bar. Is there any way to get the contact button on the same row as the home button?
It already looks so much better,
Cheryl
Hi Cheryl Harper
thanks for the coffee
To make the whole menu in a single row pls try the following code
#branding .only-search + #access div {
padding-right: 132px;
padding-top: 3px;
}
and let me know this helps u or not
Om
It worked beautifully Om,
You are a magician. I learned how to do wordpress from lynda.com and you would have been such a much better teacher.

Hi,
I’m trying to replace the heading on my category pages with an image. I placed the images in my twentyeleven child theme and then inserted the following code on header.php which is also in my child theme but it’s not working. Can you help?
the url is http://www.designact.com/blog
Hi,

Hi Om,
Can you tell me how to change the navigation menu background to transparent?
Thanks.
Cat
Hi Cat,
pls share me ur site address..
Om
Help! please. for some reason my custom footer disappeared with site disclaimer etc. and now only has the wordpress logo. I tried to adjust amount of posts to display but that didn’t change anything. My footer widget is still showing in dashboard. Weird.
SBStyle
wow..
what a large page load time ur front page is taking… really problematic to check..
Om
At last ur side loaded…somehow ur footer widget area got disappeared due to ur mu-plugins..
Om
How do I fix that? Should I reduce number of posts per page? How do I speed up the load time for my front page? It wasn’t always that way. Just noticed it this week.
They implemented an “infinite scroll” on twenty eleven! which means the front page is a never ending page. that’s why it took forever to load. So many people are complaining about the change. I cannot believe they made this mandatory and not an option for us. I did however find someone that posted code for those of us with custom ccs. I am able to block the infinite scroll. My only problem now is to get my footer back. It’s only displayed on my very last page which is buried in a year’s worth of posts. I was wondering if you could help me with code to put it back on every page? please. Right now it’s showing the standard wordpress logo and smiley face on the bottom and not recognizing my custom footer.
thanks so much. I will definitely buy you a coffee after this one. I’m so upset how they ruined the design.
Hi,
BEtter u do one thing.. allow 5 posts to show on home page..
Also. when uploading image in the wordpress..try to decrease the size (in kilobyte) of the images using photoshop.. that whill help to increase/improve the site load time.
Om
Hey Om,
I didn’t see my last post, so I figured I’d resend it, the code that you told me to added to my style.css is already there… right at the bottom, anything else you can suggest?
Thanks again,
Btw, I bought you two coffees
Been meaning to do it, kept on forgetting..
Hi Max,
would u mind to clarify ur problem again?
Om
Hi Om,
I sent you some coffee funds. = )
I’m still waiting to hear if you have code that will bring my footer back to each page? I’ve overrode the infinite scroll with code, but need code to bring my footer back to each page.
Would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hi,
i think i missed ur comments.. would u mind to clarify me ur problem again?

Thanks.

Hi Cat,
If you are using Child theme, then paste the code i have given to u after (below of) the @ import () in child theme’s style sheet.
Om
Thanks Om – that works except there is a small border on the sides and bottom. How do I get rid of it?
Can I center the links of the navbar or right align them?
Can you tell me how to replace text on links or categories with images?
Thanks.
Cat
HI Cat,
would u mind to tell which border u r referencing to? is this dashed border in the right side of the content section?
or the dashed border at the bottom of widget section?
ANd..
yes..u can use links or categories with image…u need to use text widget with some manual html coding for that..
Om
Hi Om,
After removing the background of the navbar, a border remained. You can see it on the left and right sides and the bottom of the navbar. http://www.designact.com/blog
Thanks.
Cat
Hi Om,
Just one more thing, regarding the navigation menu, can I change the hover to underline or bold? I did change the background color of the hover to the same color (white) as the page so now I need a different hover effect for the font.
http://www.designact.com/bold
Thanks again.
Cat
HI Cat,
for the navigation menu hover effect pls try the code
#access li:hover > a, #access a:focus {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
color: #373737;
text-decoration: underline;
font-weight: bold;
}
Om
Hi Om,
This works. Thanks a lot.
Cat
Hi Om,
Sofar I’ve been able to
1.insert images into sidebar,
2.change hover effect on navigation menu and
3.make navbar background transparent (exception of side and bottom borders of navbar)
Now, can you help to:
1.replace the heading on my category pages with an image. Would I insert code into header.php which is in my child theme?
2.center or right align links in navbar
3.remove navbar borders on sides and bottom of navbar.
Thanks Om. http://www.designact.com/blog
cat
Hi Cat,
pls share me the followings.
1. share me ur Category page link to check
2. I didnt see any border in the navbar.. which border u r referencing ?
Om
First off I just want to say Thank you so much for taking the time to figure so many things out! Your site has been a life saver!
I hope this is an easy question:
You know where you type in for page/post. The font color default is white and I need it to be black. The page/post header is correct (black). I’ve been trying to hunt this down for a while. Any advise or tips would be a big help! Thank you in advance.
HI Nathen..
would u mind to share me ur site url pls?
Om
I would like to but I do not have persimmon to do so yet (per the person I’m helping)
The area I’m talking about is when you add a new page – The Page Name shows up black but the area below where can can either put your content in “Visual or HTML” that is the area that: The text here show up white when you type – in order for it to be black you have to change it after you type or before you start typing.
Hi Nathen….
umm..without checking i cant help
Om
I would send a screen picture – it’s in the admin area of the site so it’s hard to explain.
Hey – I extremely admire the lengthy work you have put into this blog. Actually, my son and I have also been writing a site about tropical fruits. Your site’s design has been a great guide for our own site. Keep up the great content! Looking forward to reading more posts from you! We just added this site to my favorites.
Thanks Lesa…

Firstly, sincerely appreciate all of your help that I’ve read about so far!
I’m having major issues with my site (www.thekosherhome.com).
I finally got the header in the right spot (would probably prefer it flush to the top, but it’s fine as is!)
But, below that my navigation/menu bar is all out of wack!
1. Somehow, I had my dropdown menu working earlier (just on “MEAT” and “JEWISH HOLIDAYS” to start) and now they’ve dissapeared. All of the pages are set in the Dashboard -> Pages. For e.g. Under the MEAT catergory I have chicken, beef, veal, turkey etc etc
2. I can’t get rid of the “Home” word (I want mine in all caps, “Home” was the default)
3. I want the Nav bar to be white (not a gradient) and my text to be #666666 (dark grey)
4. I need all of the menu/page items on one line.
5. I can’t seem to get rid of the grey search above the nav (I just want a search on the right under the header)
Any guidance would be helpful. I was playing with the CSS and things got all messed up on me! I’ve turned grey in just a few hours
Shelley.
HI Shelly..
Here is the code needed for your menu bar…
paste that code at the bottom of ur style.css
#access {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 white !important;
}
#branding .only-search + #access div {
padding-right: 0;
}
#access div {
margin: 0 0.6%;
}
#access a {
color: black;
}
#branding .with-image #searchform {
display: none;
}
Om
Also…
to remove the first Home menu item use this code
div.menu ul li:first-child {
display: none;
}
Om
Hi Om -
Thanks so much for all your help. My site is http://www.thekosherhome.com
I’m still having issues:
1. my dropdown menus have still disappeared (should be under MEAT: chicken, beef, veal, duck etc) each a sub-category.
2. on each sub-page, the search bar has dropped off.
Many thanks for the speedy reply.
Shelley.
Hi Shelley..

Hi -
How do I eliminate the extra white space below my footer background image? I know it has something to do with the padding, but when I reduce padding, the text goes up.
http://www.westsideaces.com
#site-generator {
background: url(http://westsideaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/aces_footer.png)top center no-repeat;
border-top: none;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 110px;
line-height: 2.2em;
height: 150px;
text-align: center;
}
Thanks!
Hi jh
try this code
#site-generator {
height: 50px;
}
Regards
Om
Awesome! Thanks OM.
Great tutorial and coding advice! However, I’m having no results with centering the header image at: http://www.9publishingco.com/
please advise, thanks!
HI MannyStudios.com
try this code by pasting it in ur style sheet…
#branding img {
display: block;
height: 148px;
margin: 10px auto !important;
text-align: center;
width: 552px;
}
Om
Sweet! It works, definitely gonna promote your site (you have a twitter acct?) for tricks and tweaks
Thanks

Hi Om,
Great blog – here. Thanks for all of your effort. I have yet more questions on “excessive white spaces” and a text color. First – here is my website: http://www.mjrumberger.com.
1) How do I remove/control the white space between the Page Title and the start of the text.
2) Within the Text area, how do I control the spacing between paragraphs;
3) In the footer, excessive white space
and finally
4) color of the text for the site map in the footer (I am using the Dropdown Menu widget – perhaps there is an easier way or another widget that allows me to put in a horizontal site map??)
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike…
Would u mind to try the following code…
1. To reduce the white space between the Page title and start of Text
.entry-content, .entry-summary {
padding: 12px 0 0;
}
2. Margin between Paragraph
div.entry-content p {
margin-bottom: 13px;
}
3. Footer excessive white space
#supplementary {
padding: 0 7.6% 1.63em;
}
.singular.page .hentry {
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
Umm..sorry..i didnt understand ur fourth problem..would u mind to clarify?
Om
Thanks Om;
1 – worked fine – I changed to 8px
2 – could not find any div.entry …. in my Style.css file so could not implement this suggestion. Is there another location or file where I can reduce spacing between paragraphs??
3 – first have of change (#supplementary ….) seemed to do the trick. The second part increased the padding between the menu and page title, so I removed. Don’t work about this.
4 – if you look at my page, you will see that the site map, or horizontal list of pages is the color blue. How can I make these black? Alternately, is there another way or plugin to achieve a horizontal listing of pages (site map) along the bottom of each page?
Thanks,
Mike
HI Mike..
umm would u mind to try code for 2nd problem i gave? just paste the code i have given at the bottom of ur style.css
Also.. the following code (2nd part code) of ur footer space problem — i used 8 px as it was more before..i reduced it to 8px
.singular.page .hentry {
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
so…better u implement all the code i gave and check again pls
Om
Hi I need your help,
How do I put a personalized logo beside my title.
My webpage is http://southpacificengagement.com
Thank you in advance.
Luksan
Hi Om,
OK, the paragraph spacing is fixed – very good, thanks! This was my biggest issue.
As for the footer spacing, the .singular.page .hentry …. code did not seem to do anything whether placed at the bottom of the CSS file, or to replace the entry of the existing .singular.page .hentry …. code near the bottom of the file. However as I mentioned previously, the first part of the code for item 3 seemed to do the trick for the most part – the footer spacing seems better than before – at least the lower and upper spacing in the footer are now equal.
Thanks for all of your help.
Mike
HI Mike..
you didnt use the footer code i gave .. but it should work….
.singular.page .hentry {
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
there are some code remains which i could give after checking the code u implemented in ur site.. ..

Thank you for al these tips & trics…
I would very much like it to be possible to show a stickypost without the word ‘featured’ above is, as well would i like to be able to hide the titlebar and the footerbar of the stickypost…
Thanks anyway!
i’ve added a logo above my header but i’m doing something wrong, i don’t know what…… i don’t succed in making te space between my name and the logo smaller… any tips?
Hi, Melody..
sorry i am not clear ur problem..would u mind to clarify?
Om
If you will take a look at http://melodymusic.weblog.nl you will see that there is a space between my name and the logo…. i would like it to be the same size as the space between my logo and my header. The space above my name is okay, might be smaller but not larger.
(sorry, i’m dutch. hopefully my english is good enough)
HI Melody..
umm.. it seems u have used an image above the navigation menu (header image i think) which is not showing…
and..it seems the way u r describing ur site ..ur site is not looking that way in my browser.. can u share me any screenshot (image) ?
Om
Wow, you are quick, thank you!
(i use Google Chrome mostly and Mozilla Firefox)
The screenshot can be viewed at: http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3586/om1003.jpg
I have 3 questions….
1) i would like the first image to be placed higher, the white space above that image could be half as high as it is now
2) the grey border beneath my menu… i would like to not see it…
3) how can i add letter-spacing in the title (my name)
Thanks very much!
Hi Melody..

http://allaboutbasic.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/melody.png
this is how ur site is looking from my side…
anything wrong going?
Om
Eh no….
Weblog.nl recently had to migrate…so the caching is very very slow….
If one has an account at Weblog.nl one can see changes and additions immediatly while logged on, but not when not logged in, in that case it takes some time for new things to show… sorry about that. My printscreen is how it looks…
I’ve taken some codes from you wich you gave to another person who wanted to put a logo above the header. It all works fine… except the things i mentioned earlier…
( i hope i’ve explaned it in such a way that you understand, like i mentioned earlier, my english is not my native language)
Hi Melody..
Umm.. actually..without seeing ur actualy site i cant help u by giving code..
I understand… i’m sorry, i have no influence on the timelaps of caching at Weblog.nl ;-(
HI Melody..
no problem..when the cache problem is fixed just let me know..i will check it again and help you…
just inform me here in this comments section and i will try my level best to reply u back asap..
Om
I don’t know if you can see my blog in the right way now… but in the meantime i’ve succeeded in solving problem 1 & 3…
Moving on in my search to solve problem 2 ;;-)
‘problem’ 2 solved as well
HI Melody..

One question (at this moment) remains…
If one uses ‘sticky post’ in theme Twenty Eleven…. the titlebar and the footerbar is visible… is t possible to add some code wich makes both bars invisible?
Hi Melody..
yes..i think possible.. just share me the link and let me see..
Om
I ‘ve placed one for you to see…. (if you don;t see it right now, please try again in a couple of hours, due to the caching… i might be invisible to you at this moment because this posting is places a minute ago)
http://melodymusic.weblog.nl/bericht/2803/
The things i want to be invisible are :
1) the word : featured
2) the entry-title bar
3) the entry-footer bar
4) the sharebuttons
I truly hope you can make that work as well!
Hi Melody..
ur link is not visible perfectly from my side..
Om
I know…sorry ;-( sometimes it takes some time for it to get visible as it should…
How about now? Since some time has passed …. http://melodymusic.weblog.nl/bericht/2803/
HI Melody..

There is a css-page in my blog in wich i can paste css-codes….

Both options didn’t work… there was no change at all…..
Hi there again Om, with
.entry-header .entry-format {
display: none;
}
the word ‘featured’ above the sticky-post has disappeared —> great!
still want to create the same for :
title-bar & footer-bar & sharebuttons….
(only!!! at sticky post)
Another wish came to mind….. in the menu, beneath my header, there are links. is it possible to place an image before each link and if so, how do i achieve that???
HI Melody..
U have to paste the code in the following files
http://melodymusic.weblog.nl/files/sanoma_custom.css

Hi again
I trust, the css-page wich is in my blog is http://melodymusic.weblog.nl/files/sanoma_custom.css
Because i use a blog from http://www.weblog.nl i do not have acces to http://melodymusic.weblog.nl/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css
So if i understand you correctly, my wishes concerning changes in the sticky post can’t be realised? ;(
To clarify… hopefully i can make clear what i mean
The stickeyPost, like any other entry-post, has an entry-title-space and a footer-space… (in the footer space you can see under each entry text simular to ‘Geplaatst in Korte Verhalen | PLAATS EEN REACTIE’ beneath that is another space wich contains buttons werewith i can share my postings on social media…
My wish is to make those things invisible…. but only in the StickeyPost, not in other entries…

Hi,
I’m using the twenty eleven theme on my blog and I has customized it a little bit, but not all works for me.
I want to get images bigger. I had made the header bigger (up to 1000px) which works fine.
But I also want to get photos in posts bigger. I has updated some photos in articles which are originally 1000px wide but they get automatically cropped to 900px. Why?
I has found when I change:
.widget img {
max-width: 100%;
to:
.widget img {
max-width: 150%;
the images did not get cropped and appears als 1000px-images. But the problem is, that the images starts an the left side with the text. But I want get that the images “overlapped” the normal content area of my blog. I has try to fix this by using “margin…” commands, but when I do this, all images are moving to the left, even if I want to center them (maybe because it’s a portait photo…)
Summary:
The Images on my blog should be 1000px, but the “normal” content-area for text etc should be smaller (800px or so).
I would be really happy if somebody can help me.
Thanks and greetings from Germany
paul
Hi Paul…
just visited ur site and i didnt see the Text in the left side of the image.. is that something u have fixed already?
pls let me know..
Om
Hi OM,
I haven’t resolved the issue.
I has found another line which maybe can resolve my issue.
When i change
.one-column #content {
margin: 0 7.6%;
width: auto;
to:
.one-column #content {
margin: 0 0;
width: auto;
the images get 1000px – this is it what I want, but the text get also bigger.
Now I need only a code which makes the space for the text small as before (maybe 700px or something)
I hope my description is okay, my english is not the best.
Kind regards and many thanks,
paul
Hi Paul…
if i understand correctly…
you want to show ur images 1000px in ur blog posts…but u want the text of ur post should remain under 700px.
if it is what u want…then the content/text in 700px will be left aligned and they may not look good with that larger image..
pls let me know what u think.
Om
Hi Om,
Yes… I have found some other blogs like http://knuspermagier.de/ – there you see what I want… Wide images but smaller text…
Thanks
HI Paul..
pls try the code first
div.entry-content p img {
width: auto;
height: auto;
margin-left: -107px;
}
div.entry-content p {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 720px;
}
Also..pls check this code is Ok for all of ur pages..
Om
Hi Om!
Okay this code looks better, but not perfect. I have added it into the style.css (but I has used margin-left -127px to moved at near the header)
But some issue persists, images which are smaller then 1000px (like images in portait-mode) are moved to the left side. But I want that all images appear in center.
The text looks also good, but headlines from posts and meta-data (like “posted on…”) are not moved. How can I fix that?
Thanks a lot,
Paul
Hi Paul..
for that image which are small in width…you have to do some small manipulation (make them center) while uploading them in post…
Om
Hi Om!
thanks for the reply.
I have checked the last posts. Images which have a width are all centered as before. So it seems that margin-left: -107px; overrides the position from images in articles.
Do you have an idea how I can fix this?
Thanks again,
paul
Hi Paul..
have u tried to make the image of smaller width centered from image upload section?
Hi OM,
yes I Have tried this.
I have also created a new testpost, uploaded an image with an smaller whidth and make them centered in the upload section. But the image remains on the left side and get not centered. Same when I edit a old post.
Paul
Hi Paul…
for the image which u want to show in the center (small width images) …for that images try to use a class.. for example
img src=”ur image url” class=”aligncenter”
use class=”aligncenter” in the img html tag..and let me know i will give u the css code..
Om
Hi OM,
i’m not sure if I understand you correctly,
I has uploaded a new image with a width from 418px.
I has made is centered directly in the uploadmanager, then I’ve published the post the and image appears on the left side.
I has checked the advanced settings of the image which looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8476600/Bildschirmfoto%202012-03-20%20um%2021.06.06.png
You see there aligncenter, but the image appears still on the left side.
In my style.css file is see in the section /* Alignment */ :
.alignleft {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-right: 1.625em;
}
.alignright {
display: inline;
float: right;
margin-left: 1.625em;
}
.aligncenter {
clear: both;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
Do I need to enter here additional CSS Code?
Thanks a lot,
Paul

This by far the best resource I’ve found on Twenty Eleven and CSS. Congratulations!
Having said the above, maybe you can help me with this. I love round corners; everywhere. How can I modify my child theme so I can accomplish that for the page, titles, posts, etc? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi Roberto Nieves…
for rounded corner u can use CSS..but using css for rounded corner is problematic as it is not supported by all browsers similarly… so better u use rounded corner image and use it..

Hi Om,
Its my pleasure to make your acquaintance on this wonderful site. Congrats and keep it going!
My site URL is paperwalk.in. I have managed to do a few things successfully following the wordpress forums.
Unfortunately it has slipped my memory on what was needed to take out the white space above the header from this twenty eleven theme site.
I will putting up another site and would like to do the same for my new site as well.
Can you please update/guide me on the same.
Many thanks,
Navin
Hi Navin.
pls try the following code
#page {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 1000px;
}
Om
Thanks for the response.
Om, I am not sure if I was able to ask you clearly, I want to take out white area above my header which includes the website title, the search box and have the little white space as u can see from my site.
This i would like to do from a fresh twenty eleven theme for my new site not from the existing site. (paperwalk.in is fine )
Thanks,
Navin
Hi Navin..
the solution i gave yesterday is based on paperwalk..
i need to check ur new twenty eleven theme site to give u any solution..

Hello, I would like to accomplish three things. One is I would like to keep the papyrus font in my header title bar, but I would like to change the font for the text in all my pages to Verdana. Two is I would like to take out the white space above my menu bar. And three is I would like to figure out a way to keep my menu headings as static, not clickable, and just have drop down menu links to my pages. For Example: I would like to have About in the menu bar as just a heading, and then bio, intention, and testimonials as the clickable links. Is this possible with pages? I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the custom menu options on my Theme which is Twenty Eleven. I am working in the Child Theme. I’m creating this site as a mobile device friendly site. Please go step by step, as I am new to this. Thank you for being a resource!!
Hi Jeannie
Would u mind to share me ur site URL pls?
Om
Hi Om,
My url is http://m.tarotreadingsbyjeannie.com I’ve figured out how to create the static menu headings (in custom menus, go to custom links, add a # where it says URL and then in the label box type in the heading name for your menu ie About, or Classes, then hit the add to menu button and then it shows up to the right. You can them drag and drop them in whatever order you like. The linked pages or sub menus get pulled a bit to the right to indicate they are sub menu items.) Still unanswered is how to set the papyrus font in my header title for every page, and set Verdana as my body text. And is there a way to set my font stack from serif to non serif…for example papyrus, verdana, arial, non serif; I notice a lot of places in the style sheet that mention fonts for different devices I believe. I’m using the twenty eleven chlld theme. Is there a way to remove the search box too?
HI Jeannie.
** to remove the search form pls try the following code
#branding #searchform {
display: none;
}

Hi Om,
Thank you for all your amazing help…. I have two questions:
1: Menu – link colour: How do i make the hover box colour stay active when I am on that page? ie. On the 2011 template the menu is black and the rollover box is light grey, how do i make it stay light grey to indicate that is the page i am on? (on my site, to make it stay darker green)
2: Menu – width: My menu is 1000px wide, and i only have five links on it (5 pages) but for some reason, they won’t all fit on one line ~ there looks to be lots of space, but the 5th link creates a new line, making the menu bar on two lines instead of one, with empty space on the right. How can i fix that?
This is my site link: http://www.jfassociates.ca/jfa/
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer…….
Hi Bethdawn..
is this the site http://www.jfassociates.ca/jfa/ where u want the change?
pls let me know..
Om
Yes
Oh – and i mean the site is only 950 or 890px wide (oops! ~ i’m not in front of it right now…….)
HI bethdawn
the way u moved the menu from the top to the bottom of the header image is not a good way…
so..to make them centered it would better if u do the correction first…
if u r using ur own domain and hosting then u need to modify ur header.php to give the menu space below the header image..
Om
Hi Bethdawn..
i think u need the following code
li.current_page_item a {
font-weight: normal !important;
}
li.current_page_item {
background-color: #789a1c;
}
#branding .only-search + #access div {
padding-right: 11px !important;
}
Pls let me know it is ok or not..
Om
That is awesome ~ i posted that code at the bottom of my style.css and it looks perfect now! Is that a total fix? I need to check other browsers to be sure?
I am embarrassed to say i have no clue as to what that code even means but i sure am glad it worked!!!
Now to figure out how to buy you a coffee
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the coffee
Om
Om,
Great article with a lot of good resources for changing CSS. I need help. I was messing around in the CSS and must have messed something up along the way as the white box that houses all of the blog content suddenly stops mid page instead of following all the way down to the bottom. Can you please help me fix it? Can I send you the website link via email as it’s still a dev site?? Thanks!
Hi Jamie..

Dear Om, you are a helpful and polite person! I am building a microsite to go into another site. I want to match the site titles. My site : http://www.outerregion.hackinghistory.ca. The main site : http://www.outerregion.ca. Could I please ask if you know how to code this? There is one thing I do not like about the main site site title though – where the two RRs meet is fuzzy.
Thank you in advance =)
Hi Gen..
umm..sorry i didnt understand ur problem..
would u mind to clarify ur problem one after one?
Om
Dear Om, It is Gen again….I should say that I like my font-size and my line height the way they are…I would like to make a mini version of their main title (and wow them with how I did it!!!!). Same red and white, same font. No fuzzy!!! I hope I am not asking too much.
Great article … I’ve got a problem. I have followed all the suggestions to remove that darn bubble from 2011 theme with no success.
.entry-header .comments-link a {
display: none;
}
I’ve added this to the style.css file and nothing changes.
Help please.

Hi Misty,
if u r using child theme then use the code at the bottom of @import (not at the bottom of style sheet) and save it..
Om
Hi Om,
this is my site http://www.kutchtheheaven.info/
& i want to change the hover color of that small button which appears right next to my homepage post title, which is used to comment on it (a small square). How to do that?what do i change in my 2011 child theme style sheet?
thanks in advance!
Hi Rocky45
pls try this code to change that hover background color of comments bubble..but it would better u use an image instead of background color
.comments-link a:hover {
background-color: yellow !important;
}
Om
Hi Om,
where exactly to change this but?
HI Ritesh(rocky45)…
have u pasted my code at the bottom of ur style.css?
Pls let me know..
Om
Hi Om,
thanks for d reply.
i am changing line no 1044 with the above code.but still i am not able to change the color which i want.it is showing the same.
Hi Om,
It’s me again. The last time I managed to sort out the issue on my own, but this time, I’m floundering.
Two Questions:
1) I can’t seem to reduce the space between the post titles and the navigation bar (on the singular page entries – the home page works fine). I know several people have asked this question and you’ve provided several solutions, but none work for me. I was wondering if you had any other solutions.
2) How do you unwrap the singular entry titles?
I am not using a child theme.
The site is http://www.tubetheque.com
I’m also not on skype
Thanks so much!
Alexandra
Hi Alexandra..
pls try the following code to reduce the space between menu and page title..
.singular div#content {
margin: 12px 4em 4em;
}
.singular .hentry {
border-bottom: medium none;
padding: 1.88em 0 0;
position: relative;
}
Would u mind to clarify what u mean by Unwrap the Sinngular entry titles?
Om
It worked!!! You are the best!
Okay, so what I mean by “Singular Entry Titles” is…if you look at the titles I have for each post (on the single page entries) they’re weirdly off centre and if the title is longer than the permitted character length for the title field it wraps around (see “Game of Thrones: The North Remembers” – http://tubetheque.com/2012/04/07/power-is-power-game-of-thrones-episode-11-the-north-remembers/?csspreview=true).
I guess I want to know how to align the single page post titles with the content (on the left) and increase the field size of the single page post titles.
Coffee and muffin money are on their way!
Thanks again!!
Hi ALexandra..
I think u want this..
.singular #content, .left-sidebar.singular #content {
margin: 0 1.6%;
position: relative;
width: auto;
}
.singular .entry-header, .singular .entry-content, .singular footer.entry-meta, .singular #comments-title {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 93.9%;
}
Regards
Om
Thanks, Om!! That worked perfectly – though I made a tiny tweak (increased the 93.9% to 98%). Amazing!! Thank you so much!
Okay, I PROMISE this is the last question…
How do you increase the field size of Titles in general? For example, on my homepage, some of the titles are too long for the exiting title field, and they start to wrap and look ugly.
Thanks again!
Please enjoy multiple coffees on me
HI Alexandra..
i think u r searching this
.entry-title a {
width: 100%;
}
thanks for the coffee..
Om
Unfortunately, it didn’t work – see my home page, the post entitled “Game of Thrones: The North Remembers” (http://tubetheque.com). Perhaps it has something to do with the margins? …I’m not sure.
Any other suggestions you could kindly offer?
Thnks!
Hi Alexandra
not sure u pasted the code correctly or not..i didnt see my modification in ur site
Ok..pls try it again
.entry-title, .entry-title a {
width: 100% !important;
}
Om
It worked that time! I guess writing:
“.entry-title, .entry-title” (twice – instead of the just once) made the difference.
Thanks again!!!

Hi Shinn..

Om
My URL is paperwalk.in
I am unable to align the width of my pictures on my gallery page, as u can see the first and the second picture have a different margin on the side.
In the rest of pages in the site, the home page and the store page its all working fine, no idea why i am not able to do it on the gallery page.
Can you please help, thanks for your inputs in advance,

Hi Om,
Kubrik theme only required to change the CSS file as far as I remember.

Please help me.
Thank you again.

Om
Hi Om,
It’s me again
I was looking through the comments and I’m not sure if there was a question or answer to the following issue:
Now that I have a good chunk of content on my blog, I want to be able to separate out the different posts by categories. I have categorized all the different posts accordingly (e.g., reviews of Mad Men episodes are under the category “Mad Men”; reviews of Game of Thrones episodes are under the category “Game of Thrones”, etc.). What I can’t seem to do is make my categories the separate headings on my navigation bar. That way, people can just click on the navigation bar header “Game of Thrones” and read those posts only. I was reading somewhere that you can make it so that the categories you’ve created are actually shown on the navigation bar, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it.
Can you please help me?
My blog is http://tubetheque.com
Thanks so much!!
Alexandra
Hi Alexandra..
Umm.. would u mind to clarify me the problem again? sorry i didnt get it..
Om
Hi Om,
Sorry for not being clear. Let me try again:
As it looks now, the only “tab” I have on my navigation bar/menu is “Home”. I would like to add “Mad Men”, “Game of Thrones”, and other shows to the navigation bar. However, I want to be able to have specific posts go on each of these difference pages (or categories), so it’s better organized. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that. I’m not sure if it’s because of the Twenty Eleven theme. Some other forums out there seem to be able to provide solutions to other themes, but it doesn’t work for 2011. Do you think you’re able to help?
Thanks again!!
Hi Alexandra
i think u should check Appearance–>Menu and then “Custom Link” to achieve ur requirements
Om
Sorry Om, I’m not sure that works. It’s asking me to put a URL in…
I’m an idiot – although it wasn’t “Custom Link” that I had to use it was “Custom Menu”. Whoa. I’m dumb. It was staring me in the face the whole time.
Thanks for your help!
Hi Alexandra.
Ok.. if u have any other issue let me know..i will do my level best to help u..
Om
Thanks Om!
You’re too kind as always. Okay, so now I do need your help (yet again).
I am using a static page as my “home” page and would like to have my side bar widgets show on this static page.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Alexandra
Om, ignore my last message. I just figured it out. Geez. I’m sorry to be so annoying. Over and out.
Hi ALexan
No problem..just let me know if you have any issue..
Om
Hi Om,
Your site and advice have been very helpful for development of my website so far. However after trying some of the advice given above regarding drop-down menus, mine is not working properly (www.mjrumberger.com), under Examples/Applications. There is a VERY large space between the Navigation bar and the drop-down menu item. What is going on here? I would like my drop-down items to be listed immediately below my Navigation bar when I hover over it.
Any help would be appreciated – thanks.
Mike
HI Mike..
thanks for ur comments..
pls try the following code…
#access ul ul {
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

left: auto;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 2.99em;
width: 188px;
z-index: 99999;
}
pls let me know it works for u or not..

Hi Om,
Unfortunately this did not work – I left it in so you can see, but the first (and so far only) item in my drop down menu under Example/Applications is still waaaay down on my page. Any other suggestions?

Dear Om,
How can I place in the Twenty Eleven theme the menu bar vertical in a left column instead of the horizontal menu bar. Thanks again!
Hi Omnia…
umm..sorry.. currently i cant help for the vertical menu..
Om
Dear Om,
Do you know how to make in the Twenty Eleven thema the whitespace between the menu-header en the footer a bit transparant so you can see the background behind the text?
Thank you so much for your help.
Hello!
This page has been so helpful in getting my website all squared away and looking sharp.
http://www.velocipedemusic.com
I took away the extra space between the nav bar and the page title. However, on the front page, I dont have a header and do have a right column. i was wondering if there is a way to add space to just the right column so it all lines up vertically. could you please help me?
Thanks!
Baron
HI Baron.
to add Vertical border in the sidebar try this code
#secondary {
border-left: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
float: right;
margin-right: 4.6%;
padding-left: 22px;
width: 18.8%;
}

Hi Om,
I was just wondering if you can help me with something. The problem that I have is with the way the slideshow is presented (carousel). Currently, the background is dimmed but it is not dimmed quite enough for my taste and I think that it causes distraction when when looking at photographs in the slide show. Probably you will get a better sense of I am saying if you have a look at http://indranilsinharoy.com/photography/gallery-landscape/#jp-carousel-520 . Do you think I can do anything with the CSS (I have opted for upgraded CSS account) to make it better? Thank you very much. Regards.
Hello Indranil da..
i think it would be wise if u use larger image (in width and height..but keep the file size small using photoshop) instead of making the background more deem…
