Susan,
I looked over your child theme and found two things I would change, in style.css and functions.php.
the first line of your style.css:
*\
Theme Name: Atomic Child
...
This should be “/*”, not “*\”, but this should be caught by the compiler and not affect anything.
In your functions.php, there are a few changes you should make. You can remove child-style because it’s already loaded elsewhere, and you will want to change parent_style to two unique names, otherwise only one will actually load on the page.
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent_style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent_style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/atomic-editor-style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
change to
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent_style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent_editor_style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/atomic-editor-style.css' );
}
I went though and disabled every css style individually, and I found where the space is created. There may be some unforseen consequences of removing “float: right;”, but I believe this is what we’ve been looking for, and I didn’t see any major difference in page rendering. Give the following change a try and let me know how it looks.
.entry-content,.entry-summary,.page-content {
float:right;
width:99%
}
change to
.entry-content,.entry-summary,.page-content {
//float:right;
margin-top: 1.5em; // Desired spacing between header and content
width:99%
}
