  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    1. 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..
      Regards

  6. 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!

      3. 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

  7. 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?

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?

      1. 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.

      6. 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….

    1. 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…

    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)?

  28. 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).

  30. 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!

    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.

      3. 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.

    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!!

      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.

        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!

        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..

    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. 🙂

      1. 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.

        Thanks again for all your help! Great job!

      1. 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.

  69. 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.

      1. 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.

      6. 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.

      9. 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.

  73. 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

  76. 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

      3. 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:

        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?

      5. 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. 🙂

  81. 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

      -moz-border-radius:.5em;
      -webkit-border-radius:.5em;

    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

  107. 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?

        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_HEIGHT’, apply_filters( ‘twentyeleven_header_image_height’, 288 ) );

        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;

      9. 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:

    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

  121. 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!

  128. 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.

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.

    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?

    For example, the title of category A will be blue, category B will be green, and so on…

      3. 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,

      4. 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..

    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.

  152. 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!

  153. 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! 🙂

  165. 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!

      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 {
      color: red;
      font-family: tahoma;

        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

  175. 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

      1. 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)?

      *** 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..

        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 .

    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?

      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;

      4. 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!

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?

      1. 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)

  224. 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!!!

  225. 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!

      but try it first.. and let me know it is ok or not..

      #site-generator {
      margin-left: auto;

  235. 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,

        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

      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

    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.

        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!

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.

        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.)

      3. 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.

      1. 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.

  284. 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.

      1. 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.

  286. Hi Om,

    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 😉

  290. 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,

      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;

        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?

  292. 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.

  301. 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

  302. 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

    1. 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.

        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,

  305. 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!!

      1. 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?

    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.

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?

        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.

    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.

        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?

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.

      4. 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…

        Sorry for the late response (Other things were keeping me very busy the last few days). I thought about the solution you have proposed. I think it is certainly one solution to the problem. However, I am not sure if I really want to put a bigger image at this point.

      Is there a way to have a line above and below each menu item that “frames” it, like you see in the Chateau theme? Then it stays “lit up” when you are on that particular page or parent menu?

  335. Om’s advice has been fantastic. He helped me out too. But you can all help yourselves out. Get Firebug for Firefox. It’s an Add-on, just search for it. When you’ve installed it, navigate to your site and hit F12. This will bring up Firebug, you can then click any element on the page and Firebug will tell you the HTML and CSS in use on that page. Then, you can copy the CSS and paste it into your child theme – modifying what you want. Trust me, you’ll learn faster this way, and maybe give Om a little break too!

    1. I want to get rid of my page titles when you’re on that specific page but not singular post titles.
    2. I want to make my post title font when you’re on that one post the same as what it shows on the homepage.
    3. How do I make the sidebar show up on pages/single posts?

    Thank you!

    1. Hi Allie
      try this

      1. To Remove Page Title

      .page-template-default h1.entry-title {
      display: none !important;
      }

      2. I want to make my post title font when you’re on that one post the same as what it shows on the homepage.
      .single-post .entry-title,.single-post .entry-title a {
      font-family: ‘Banda Regular’,’Quicksand’,’Century Gothic’,sans-serif !important;
      }
      3. How do I make the sidebar show up on pages/single posts?

  370. Hi! Thanks for your help. I have a few questions.

    1. How do I get rid of my left padding? I feel like I’ve tried everything. I want my header shifted left.
    2. On a single page/post view, I want my sidebar to show up.
    3. How do I delete the page title when on single page view? But not the post on a single post view.

    Thank you! It’s on callmesassafras.com

      1. Can you help me understand what’s problematic about it? And I don’t see anything on the dashboard that pertains to either of those things.

      1. Hi,
        I tried to paste the code you wrote in the CSS windows, but nothing happened. I have also tried clearing the browser cache, but it’s still there.
        I don’t know if this can help, but when I see the detail on one single post, it is ok, everything is dark.
        I see the ligh grey background only in the home page of the blog, under each post except the oldest one that is a gallery.
        Tha latest two (they are two single photos) have this background below.
        Thanks

      3. Hi,
        you are right, single post pages are ok.
        In my homepage I have multiple posts, and it’s there that I see the light grey backgound under each post. I can’t send you a snapshot of it, but if you want, you can check the homepage here:

  372. Hello Om,

    Your site has been such a wonderful resource in customizing my blog. I wanted to know if there was any possible way to auto advance the showcase slider in the Twenty Eleven theme. My blog is afrophire.com.

    Thank you so much!

      1. I also have another question… If auto-advancing the slider by CSS code is not a possibility, is there a code that will add arrows to the slider. I want to make it easier for my readers to know that there are multiple featured posts.

  374. Thanks for the fantastic site.

    Could you please help me float the Twenty Eleven site-title over the top of the main image.

    I have tried this code but the image runs down into the navigation bar and I can’t work out the index stacking to put it on top.

    Thanks

  376. Hi Om,

    Thank you for this amazing ressource! I removed the top and bottom padding on the tittle bar using your #site-title and #site-description snippets. It works when I put it in the parent Style.CSS but not in the child’s. I am worried that my website is going to get disturbed every time I update WP. What do you think may be causing this? Can you think of any way to remediate?

  377. Hi Om,

    Thank you so much for your help! I have another question for you:

    I am looking to reduce the amount of white space between the menu bar and the page title on secondary pages. I am using the code below in Simple Custom CSS but nothing happens. I managed to change the margin below the page title and also change the header padding (site-title and site-description) in Simple Custom CSS (although neither of them worked on my child’s Style.css). Do you know what may be wrong?? My website is http://www.berrebi.net

    .page-wrap .content-wrapper {
    padding-top: 0px;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
    background-color: #fff;
    }

  379. I would like to change the size and color of the font of the H2 and H3 titles. The H2 title is substantially smaller than H1 and the H3 title is the same size as paragraph font so it is hardly noticeable.

    Can you tell me how to do that?

      1. I’m not sure if I have or not, my tablet is still showing white background? I found this code and added it to the bottom of my CSS file … (could this be added to the “Additional CSS” spot instead and still work?)

        /* Mobile Style Sheet */
        @media handheld {
        body {
        background: black;
        }
        }

        I then also found this code, and placed it in the Additional CSS location …

        @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) {
        body {
        background-color: black;
        }
        }

        So that’s everything i found and did? Will that work? Or is there something else I should add to include other mobile phones and tablets? Thanks in advance!!!

      3. Yeah, it may be a cache problem on my older tablet. So does the code I added sound correct? Or would you add something else as well?

    1. Oh. I already find a way out. I change “width: auto;” to “width: 800px” to enlarge the individual posts’ width.

      .singular .entry-header, .singular .entry-content, .singular footer.entry-meta, .singular #comments-title {
      width: 800px;
      padding: 0;
      }

      Still, I must say a big thank you to you. Thanks.
