Trish,
I posted your question on GP Premium forum:
https://generate.support/topic/simple-css-plugin-appears-to-be-abandoned/

On posting to the GP Premium forum, you can go to this page:

If you have a GP Premium license, you can create a support account and then you will be able to post queries. I have found them to be very responsive there.

You don’t need to be logged in to read support questions and discussion.

Hope this helps!

Hi Trish, I agree that GP + SimpleCSS is priceless, and I would also love to see them test it against WP 6.3. So I second your request.

That said, I would not rush to abandon GP for another theme if they don’t get around to testing it right away. I have used SimpleCSS on multiple sites with GP and latest WP, though I don’t use CSS extensively myself. Usually it has come about using a snippet provided by GP’s awesome support staff.

If you are really happy with GP and they don’t test against latest WP, another option would be to put your CSS in Additional CSS, which is now a part of WP itself. The disadvantage of that is if you did switch theme, the CSS is not carried over automatically. But if you stick with GP, that issue would not arise!

One more thing: do you have GP Premium? IF so, you could also post on the premium forum — that gets faster attention! If you don’t, I would be happy to post your request there on your behalf.

The CSS code you supplied worked great. Thanks!

Thanks, Tom. You’ve given me enough to mull on now. I appreciate all your help. If I have other questions later, I will start a new thread!

Sorry, some of my HTML got dropped when I submitted. Let me try using code

    <div class="site-logo">
        <img src="uploads/2017/02/Square-White-Angel.jpg" alt="" />
    </div>

Very nice. I activated GP Hooks and used this HTML in After Header Content hook:
<div class=”site-logo”>

</div>
And removed logo from Customize > Site Identity.
Then it did indeed mimic Twenty Sixteen.
Unfortunately, though, when I did that it broke a behavior I could get from GP and not from Twenty Sixteen – namely to replace the site logo by a different image for the different pages chosen from the menu.
So I have restored the way I previously had it. See
See https://www.mofsa.org/mockup2/.
When you click on the different menu items, the logo changes.
(There is one slight difference. Now there is a gray band, presumably where the disabled hook was. Is there a way to remove this hook and not simply disable it?)

This site is being looked at by other people, and I want to keep it stable for them while I experiment further myself. Is there an easy way to do this?

No, alignment is set to right and location is set to Float Right

Ok. I set navigation to float right and made site live. Here it is:

I had tried that before and it did not work!

I did some more work on the site, and I really like the capabilities of the Customizer. Here is how it looks now:

Thank you! That was a big help, and with a little tweaking of colors I was able to come somewhat close to what I am looking for. But I don’t think I can quite get the effect I liked in the theme Twenty Sixteen. Here is a comparison:
Customized using GP:
https://www.mofsa.org/mockup2/
Using Twenty Sixteen:
https://www.mofsa.org/mockup/
The latter puts the primary navigation in the header rather than above it. I simulated the effect somewhat in GP by hiding the site title and tagline.
How could I get the GP version closer to Twenty Sixteen? In particular, make the menu item for the site at the left and the other menu items aligned right?

Thank you for the link to the premium support forum. I will use it in the future!
