Thanks – Since I posted that, I did a bit more searching, and it looks like there are a couple of long-standing bugs in the Virtue theme which make it difficult to use USM widgets. I don’t have the same problems with the Jetpack social plugins.

I’m running off of Bluehost. I have no idea if CURL is activated or not.

Thank you!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! It worked! It worked! Macombs, you are my hero.

For folks like me who don’t do much coding, here’s what that file looks like now. I inserted the line $(this).delay(900);

.slideDown()
;
}, function(){
$(this)
.removeClass(‘hover’)
.children(‘ul’)
.slideUp()
;
$(this).delay(900);
$(this).find(‘div.menu-header-menu-container’)
.children(‘ul’).slideUp()
;
});

I set them up in the Constructor theme Customize Theme/Header tab, then changed the appearance in the stylesheet (style.css) — just putting in a gradient background, changing the width and height. I haven’t touched the header.php file.

Like I said. I’m new to all this.

Sorry – I was fooling with Pixopoint to see if I could make it work just now (I couldn’t.) It’s back to normal now.

thank you,

Meg

Thanks for the advice; I appreciate it.

Alas, there are no <div class > lines in the header.php file– just this, as far as div stuff goes.

<div id=”body”>
<div id=”wrapheader” class=”wrapper”>
<div id=”header”>
<?php get_constructor_menu() ?>
<div id=”title”>
<?php if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { ?>
<h1 id=”name”>/” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); echo ” » “; bloginfo(‘description’);?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
<?php } else { ?>
<div id=”name”>/” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); echo ” » “; bloginfo(‘description’);?>”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<div id=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’);?></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Any idea where else the menu bar height might be lurking?

And I thought Constructor would be a good theme for newbies…

It doesn’t quite work.

If I increase the height–say, to 200px– I get a tall menu bar with lines between the menu items. If I decrease the height — to 20 px– the lines between the menu items get shorter, but the menu box stays 40 px high. It seems like something is keeping the menu bar at least 40 px tall, but I don’t know what.

Any idea what’s going on?
