Header question

    I posted this on the Themes area but got no replies. If this is still the wrong place, I’d be glad if someone directed me where it should go.

    ________________

    A friend is working on a blog for me. The theme he chose has the menu bar underneath the header stretching from one side of the screen to the other.

    I would like a menu bar that is contained in a rectangle box in the middle of the header (see as an example the Axon theme in WordPress.com – not available to me).

    Here is my question: Is this: not do-able; possible but only to be done by advanced work with code; or reasonably do-able if I have the right theme.?

    Thank you

  • it should be doable with some CSS.

    something along the lines of…

    #navigation {
    margin-left:-30px;
    width:978px;
    }

    you might need to play with the #’s to suit your situation.

    Can the menu bar ever be superimposed on the header picture, or must it always be above or below?

    Hi Alan,
    Sure, in most cases the menu bar can be almost where ever you want it to be.
    By altering CSS – you can move it up, down, left, or right.

    Thanks 1rico1 for the help.

    As a beginner, does “altering the CSS” mean learning a complete new programming language or just learning how to find the right place and insert a few lines copied from a sample? – Or, paying someone who knows what they’re doing to do it !

    hmm…
    Wordpress is a good tool for non-technical people to add or alter text and pictures in a post. This can be done pretty much without knowledge of code.

    Its when people need more custom work that you typically need to know some programming language.
    Of course it always depends on what the specific action is needed. Sometimes it is as simple as cut/copy/paste a line of code – sometimes its more complicated.

    Feel free to contact me if I can help you out more-perhaps off this website would be better- your choice.

    Anything I can help with let me know.

    I don’t understand how it got to that, if you need private support there are professional avenues at https://jobs.wordpress.net/ and https://directory.codepoet.com/ . You shouldn’t use these forums to solicit private support.
