Hi.
It sounds like you have created the pages but not the menu. If that is the case then go to Appearance > Menu then create a new menu, add the necessary pages and then save the menu. Then on the Manage Locations select your new menu in the Primary Menu location. That will place it into the place as shown on the demo.

Wow. Unlucky. I’m not sure exactly what happened but it sounds like you have not set up a Child Theme. This prevents all the changes that you’ve made from being rewritten when the theme updates. It’s very easy to do. Just add the plug in ‘One Click Child Theme’, activate it and then go to Appearance > Child Theme and add in a new child theme (call it what you like). Now when you make changes, you’re safe.

Ok. Here we go.
First off – create a child theme so that any changes that you make (such as site width) will not get overwritten if or when the theme updates. This is really important.
To do this add in the plugin One-Click Child Theme. Then go to Appearance>Child Theme and follow the instructions. Then go back to Appearance>Themes and check that it has installed ok.
Next you’re going to make the site and side bar width changes that you want. These must be done in the new child theme stylesheet which you will find at Appearance>Editor. Click on Stylesheet and check that it is the one for the Child Theme.
To change the width of the site you need to change the #container div. Put the following code in at the very bottom of the child theme stylesheet.

#container {
width: 1080px;
}

Next to change the width of the sidebar put the following code in right at the bottom of the child theme stylesheet

#sidebar {
width: 240px;
}

This will reduce the width of the sidebar to 240px. Change this value if you want it a different width.
Hope this helps.

Yep. Appearance>Theme Options>Custom CSS styles
Alternatively download the fabulous Advanced Code Editor plugin.

I’d be happy to help if I can. Are you looking for a free or paid for theme? To be honest you can probably do all of what you want using a combination of plugins on the TwentyTwelve theme. If you’re thinking of doing more then perhaps purchase the Canvas theme from Woothemes. It gives you a blank slate and a brilliant framework which makes it pretty easy to make changes throughout the site without the need for much in the way of CSS or html.

@infoyegroup Your welcome. Always happy to help. ??

Yeah. Listen to WPyogi. Make sure you have created a child theme first. Don’t want you to suddenly lose changes if the them updates.

Yeah. Sorry. I made an assumption that is wrong – ie people are using child themes and editing in the child theme stylesheet editor. Oops.

This will pretty much remove the space. Paste the following into your editor. To create more space increase the 0px.

.header {
margin: 0 auto 0px auto;
}

Put the following CSS into your editor.

.widget-area .widget-title {
background: #16A1E7;
}
