Thanks for the helpful input Zulf and updating me on the terminology.
You are correct, I was possibly confusing the two.
The graphic that I was using for the header “background” was being imported into the “header” area, which is where I was thinking would fill the whole header area, but when I saw the 350×40 size reference, I got confused, but if youre saying thats really where the “site logo” goes to replace the “site title” then I can see why it would be so small.

Now after looking at more descriptions again, I think youre saying that if no graphic was used in the header area, the menu would move all the way up like I was wanting, and then by the description inside the “customize” button, and looking closer at the images of the screenshot, I think that the slider pulls in the images used for the grid, to “slide/fade” for the site homepage top graphic. Is that how all this works? which is controlled in the “Home Page Options” area of the customize options?

If all this is true, then what size should each of the grid pictures be to all fit right on the home page? I didnt see that mentioned anywhere?

David

Also forgot to ask, does the bottom grid go away within the pages, or is it supposed to stay there for each page like a reminder to the viewer that there is more to look at?

Thanks sir.

Hi Zulfikar,

2 questions still remain please.

Thanks for the tip, however, when I first loaded this theme, and was shocked at the small size, after seeing what the theme looked like before downloading it, the top image was the full width of the screen, so I knew that 350 had to have something to stretch it?

I just made my original 350 x 40, and uploaded it, and its way, way too small, doesnt fit the screen like the screenshot of the sample.
Also, the gap between the header and the top grid row didnt change, its still bigger than the screenshot of the sample theme. I was wanting it tight to look like no gap, or all one sheet of paper, is that possible?

Next, the original question asked, how can I move the menu up to the top like the screenshot, by default it looks like it places it at the bottom of the top graphic. would like it to look like the screenshot if possible.

Thanks, sorry for the delay, didnt see your email come in.

Sorry James, I hadnt refreshed my screen and didnt know you had posted.

Yes, the site has existed for some time, but I wanted to redo it with this template, so its going to look like its still under construction, but the home page is the main page Im asking about for now.

This is the site, https://marketingthatbenefitsyou.com

Thanks

Im not a Godaddy fan, even tho I have several domains there, but I have this problem too.
Like said above, it could be a plug-in that got added that allowed then insert of the code.
I had this problem about 1 month ago, with several sites mentioned in the hacked area, not just the loan links.

I do SEO, and my software that checks my coding is what found it, oddly enough. So I went digging in my WP editor area, and went one template at a time and searched for the word “loan”. I dont remember which template I found it in back then, but just now I found it in the header.php and saw there were several domains hidden in there, not all about loans, when I was just looking for favao diet

I copied one domain and pasted it into a browser to see the site and who the owner might be to track it, but got a 404 page error. So maybe they got found out, and had to cancel their site.
To clean it, I was able to delete (and this is just what I did, it worked, but you need to know some html and be safe), I deleted the code including from <div> to the end of it </div> and all the loan referenced and any other domains found in that area.

It was in the Twenty Eleven theme, but I cant say it was because of the Twenty Eleven theme, it could have been a plugin, but I only have a couple of plugins, so I dont know where it came from, but its gone now.

Youre welcome. Unfortunately I tried what youre trying, pasting the original code back into function.php, and it never worked. Doesnt make sense. It must set some variable when the code got changed, and requires something else to set it back, I dont know.

I looked for a plugin first to suppress the date but couldnt find it, thats when I started messing with the code, but messed with it in the wrong area just because I (and you) found the words “Posted on” found in that php file, but oh well.

Sorry I cant help more than that. Hope you wont lose too much. I guess copy all your content to notepad, save on hard drive, then repaste once its running again.

Took me awhile to remember and find what I did.

First of all read this:
I MAKE NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR EDITING OF YOUR CODE, blah blah blah, you know what I mean, This is my best guess at what I did, and its working, no posted on dates are showing.

It doesnt hurt to copy all the pages code and keep it in notepad on your computer to reinsert it in case something goes bad, to have the original code, just a thought.

Now, what I also must say, is that I didnt have any real content at the time, so it didnt bother me to dump the whole theme, and re-upload it, re-install it, just to get rid of the error problem that I never got solved. Cant help you on fixing the error message, no one ever came to help, so I had to resort to reinstalling the whole theme.
I think I even reinstalled the database to try and fix it, no good.

So, if you have to go thru all that, get it working again, and still want to get rid of the timely date stamp so your posts wont show any age, like I did, here is what “I THINK I DID”.

The code to look for is NOT in the functions.php, the functions.php just calls the variable from another page. Also note that Im not a real life programmer, I only play one on television, (little humor there) so dont hold me to the programming language when I say variable.

Im just meaning that the functions.php has some workings of the “posted on” code, but is actually calling the constant from another page (another programmers term which makes me sound authoritative, but its just a front)

The page you want to edit is the…drumroll…..content-single.php ,
the code to edit is near the top. And when I say edit, I mean only adding a comment bracket to the line, not removing it.

Look at the top, for <article id= and buried about 5 lines below that youll find :

<div class=”entry-meta”>
<?php twentyeleven_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>

add the html comment code <!– at the beginning of the middle line, and end that same line with –> which is the closing code for a comment.

All of this Im sure you know, but just had to say this as referrence.
So the code will now look like this”

<div class=”entry-meta”>
<!– <?php twentyeleven_posted_on(); ?> –>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>

So this being remarked out, transfers to the functions.php page which doesnt pass on the ability to print the date, or the posted on words.

Ok, thats what I remember doing, took a lot of searching to find that, many cups of coffee, reloading my database, and re-installing the initial code, but its working.

Hope this helps, and oh, the tip-jar is over on the piano, and I dont like the kind that makes noise, haha.

Best wishes.
