Making Blog-Title Static

    I’ve changed the appearance of the blog-page to show the blog-title, using the following code added to index.php:

    <header class="entry-header">
	<h1 class="entry-title">Postcards from Outer-Space</h1>
</header

    Is it possible for the blog-title to remain visible /static as you scroll-down the page?

    – The Site-title behaves this way. This is all the css i’ve used for that:

    /* CENTER SITE-TITLE */

.site-branding {
    width: 100%;
    text-align: center;
}

/* TITLE VISIBLE on SCROLL and  White-Space Manipulation*/

.site-header {
	  
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    opacity: 1;
    z-index: 1;
    background-color: #FFFDFD;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    
}

.site-branding {
margin-top: 10px;
}

.entry-header {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

    I appreciate this might be a bit tricky… it would be good to know why it can’t be done, if this is the case, to help my overall understanding.

    With thanks.

    Are you talking about the “Postcards from Outer-Space” text? If so, that text has the same CSS classes as the post titles themselves, which makes this a bit of a challenge. The following sort of does it, but at some screen/window widths, the title is shifted to the left. Working with position: fixed; has some challenges that can be very difficult to overcome. The following fixes the outer space title on 768px and wider screens/windows and allows it to go back to the original scrolling behavior at narrower widths.

    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.blog #primary. .blog #content {
    position: relative;
}
.blog #main > .entry-header {
    position: fixed;
    top: 40px;
    max-width: 700px;
    width: 100%;
}
.blog #main article:first-of-type {
    margin-top: 100px;
}
}

    Thanks @sacredpath,
    Yes, “Postcards’ text is what i’m talking about.

    hat text has the same CSS classes as the post titles themselves, which makes this a bit of a challenge.

    I thought so. -Sadly, the code doesn’t quite work: the posts can be seen behind the post-title as u scroll, rather than disappearing uderneath it; i guess because there is no white-space behind the title, like there is in the header (?)

    I tried to make changes to the header-area when i first started with WP /the theme; that was tricky also … in the end i changed the design as different codes i’d been given didn’t quite work.

    I think it’s best i leave this issue for the time being, as i have to have the site ready to go on Friday, and it’s otherwise looking and working well. -Would you tell me though, what’s needed, code-wise, in the theme-files to make this behaviour happen?

    (I appreciate the theme is not designed to do this; i’d like to consider strategies for achieving this in the future, whether that’s identifying a more appropriate theme, or finding a code solutuion).

    With thanks.
