In reply to: How to reduce white space above logoTo reduce white space above a logo in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
Enter the following CSS code to target the logo:
CSS
.site-header .custom-logo-link {
margin-top: -10px; /* adjust the value as needed */
}
Save and publish the changes.
This CSS code targets the .custom-logo-link class within the .site-header element and applies a negative margin to the top, which reduces the white space above the logo. You can adjust the value of the margin-top property to achieve the desired result.I have applied this CSS code to to reduce the white space above a logo at my website https://hindivilla.in/, Please have a look for more info.

In reply to: How to add (and keep) subpages in sidebar including the parent pageAssuming you are referring to adding subpages and their parent page to the sidebar of a website or blog, here’s a general approach:
- Create the parent page: Start by creating the main or parent page that will contain subpages. This can be done using a content management system (CMS) or by manually creating the page and adding it to your website’s navigation menu.
- Create the subpages: Once you have created the parent page, create the subpages that you want to include under it. Again, this can be done using a CMS or by manually creating the pages.
- Organize the subpages: Organize the subpages under the parent page by linking them together. Typically, this can be done by using hierarchical page templates, categories, tags, or custom post types depending on the CMS you are using.
- Add the parent page and subpages to the sidebar: Next, you will need to add the parent page and its subpages to the sidebar. This can be done by using a widget in your CMS that supports hierarchical navigation menus. Simply create a new menu item and select the parent page, then add the subpages as sub-items.
- Test and refine: Finally, test your sidebar to make sure it displays the parent page and its subpages correctly. You may need to adjust the styling of your menu or the layout of your sidebar to achieve the desired effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to add and keep subpages in your sidebar while including the parent page.

In reply to: How to redirect from non Https to wwwTo redirect non-HTTPS requests to HTTPS and non-www requests to www, you can use a combination of server configuration and a redirect rule.
- Server Configuration: Configure your web server to redirect all non-HTTPS requests to HTTPS. This can be done by adding a redirect rule in your server configuration file.
For example, if you are using Apache, you can add the following lines to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]These lines tell the server to:
- Turn on the rewrite engine
- Check if the request is not already using HTTPS or is not using the www subdomain
- If the condition is true, redirect the request to the HTTPS version of the URL with the www subdomain
- Redirect Rule: You can also add a redirect rule to your website’s code to ensure that all non-www requests are redirected to the www version of the site. This can be done by adding the following code to the top of your website’s .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
These lines tell the server to:
Turn on the rewrite engine
Check if the request is not already using the www subdomain
If the condition is true, redirect the request to the www version of the URL
By combining these two methods, you can ensure that all non-HTTPS requests are redirected to HTTPS and all non-www requests are redirected to the www version of your website.

In reply to: Archives widget not workingIt’s possible that there may be an issue with how the archives widget is configured on your blog page. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the widget settings: Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Widgets. Look for the archives widget and click on it to view its settings. Make sure that the “Display as dropdown” option is not selected, as this can cause the widget to link to the homepage instead of the posts for a particular month.
- Check the URL structure: Make sure that your site’s permalink structure is set up correctly. Go to Settings > Permalinks and ensure that the “Month and name” option is selected. This will ensure that URLs for monthly archives follow the format https://example.com/yyyy/mm/.
- Check your category and post templates: It’s possible that there may be an issue with your category or single post templates that is causing the archives widget to link to the homepage instead of the posts for a particular month. Review your templates to ensure that they are correctly configured.
- Try a different theme: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try switching to a different WordPress theme to see if the archives widget works as expected. This can help to determine if the issue is related to the theme you are currently using.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be worth seeking assistance from a developer or support forum to help identify the root cause of the problem.
